Well from what I know

Maggie Mash - The Booze Cruise, regional prog. on Yorkshire, HSBC, KS3 Mental Artithmetic tests etc
Bob Preedy - Apparently he runs a cinema, has released a book and as said still has a show on BBC Local Radio.
Kerry Gosney - Still does the weather for GMG North and I think I've heard her doing a V/O on a trailer for Granada.
Pete Haslam - Does the V/O for the majority of trailers to go out on the GMG North regions.
Helen Aitken and Neil Didsbury - I don't know, it's like they've disappared into obscurity.

Errrrr, don't want to upset you, but I feel the PAST tense would be more appropriate.

Perfect candidate, knows nothing about presentation. Slightly worrying that she understands continuity so in that respect somewhat over-qualified. Unless of course the plans are to rid ITV of continuity announcers.

Thought that myself, also my understanding of the redundancy package terms and things was that all new appointments had to be advertised...........

I do think Maggie has something of an authoritarian air about her, but she's really nice as well. A perfect gay icon if you ask me!

Judy Garland - who needs her?
