Well I was watching this morning, and I'm *certain* one of the Fimbles is Welsh.
Can any insiders confirm this for me?

09 – Lots of complaints about how rubbish this ITV1Wales business is
10 – Nan Whataday kicks off at Carlton duty office people

I notice the discussion about the probable itv1 west news , presumably this means that we will also have itv1 wales news .
Another nail in the coffin - there's more iron than wood in it !

At least there are only two weeks left of those trumpets, which must be a plus. Half of you were predicting this move all of last year anyway, it can't be much of a surprise.
It's the next natural step in a whole ITV scenario really, 'HTV' just doesn't sit with 'ITV' very well in a title -- and don't worry, Ceefax will still call the station HTV Wales for another decade to come.

Thanks to TVD , I've been down to page 183 - which used to be page199/200 - talk about rewriting history; anyway , as a result I find that it was owhatanight that complained about me and NOT Jez 
, so apologies to Jez ( 
-yes I know ) are in order .
Will he be back in time to witness the HTV Wales version of the new year - even later than that practised in that little valley down by Cardigan ?

Having done a little research, I can confirm that no posts have been lost in this strange change from page 200 to page 183, it's just that the powers-that-be have changed the number of posts per page from 11 to 12 whilst we've been progressing from page 200 to page 305.
If you check, 183 divided by 11 and multiplied by 12 gives you 200.
I think Asa wanted to make it more difficult for us to acheive the 300, but we smashed him into the ground, as usual!

I thought we had new presenters on HTV WALES News tonight (Thurs) at six, when another regional news program appeared on channel 103 on my Sky receiver. But normal service was restored by someone, shortly after the headlines. They reported that Andy Collinson was stoned in Iraq.

I noticed that on my NTL Cable too, we got HTV News West not HTV News Wales. Then when I flicked over to ITV1 West I noticed they had Jon and Lucy - weird! Someone obviously made a big cockup in London where transmission is done!
Great to see Sally back on GMTV bulletins this morning
And I noticed we had Justina on the late bulletin last night too
