Are Juliet and her hubby jewish then Shocked


Being featured on a website called Totally Jewish and getting married at a Synagogue, I'd say it looks highly probable. Why the shock?


I always thought she was Christian (if any religion) because of the way she is.... if you get me Surprised

Been quite a lot of that lately on Sky News. I have heard unguarded comments in the last couple of weeks from EH, LD, HF, SG, SD, EC, all assuming that we had gone to a break, but the sound is still on.

Charlie Stayt or martin Popplewell also said something today, but was quickly silenced,

There's a difference between forgetting to fade down a mic and missing an overlap in a report.

What's happened to Grainne? She hasn't been on for a while either, yet we have had programmes reduced to just 2 or 1 presenter, when there should be 3 or 2 respectively.

She was only in London for a month and a half, she has now returned to Sky News Ireland.

James, don't wish to be rude but could you please use presenters' real names? I spent a good 30 seconds trying to work out who those initials belonged to (still haven't got HF).

My apologies. And, Helen Fospero is, of course, correct. Thanks. I was just trying to avoid additional typing: EH - Eamon Holmes. LD - Lorna Dunkley. HF - Helen. SG - Steve Gaisford. SD - Steve Dixon. And of course, Emma at the end.

I wonder who is going to do that then? A tree surgeon? Laughing

I noticed this morning that the much hated "Active Strap" had "Active on Sky Satellite" across it's title bar.....looks like it's here to stay.
