Us lucky viewers in Wales were treated to "The West Today" at lunchtime today. The presenter even welcomed viewers from Wales. No idea what the problem was that we couldnt get ITV Wales News?

Hell!

What would that have made? Best part of thirty viewers for the ITV West news?

A bloomin' record!

And how we laughed Nick - Not one to labour a "joke" on and on, I'm sure that your humour will one day start to reflect reality - even if the truth hurts....

Im not sure whether it's been mentioned here before but I noticed on The West Tonight last night that BBC Wales' presenter Frances Donovan was now reporting on ITV 1 West!

Frances has been at ITV West for a while now - mainly presenting Sports when Jed Pidman has been away, and also doing some late night bulletins.

I have to say that I think that she is an excellent presenter - v.professional.

Frances is working for the beeb in wales and the itv west , blimey she must get tired back and forth along the M4 every week. Wonder if she gets any time off !

I saw her the other night at the football. Very short.

I saw her walking her dog a few years back, she seemed a reasonable height but out of shape back then. She looks better now and her work as a sports presenter is generally v. good.

Alex Lovell was doing a show on Radio Bristol today...It was a good job she had a co-presenter with her,,,loads of 'local radio' stuff from the lovell like 'and here is some music.....' 'here is another track'...

Not her specialist subject then, eh?

A bit like journalism, then.

Perhaps she should try child minding?

Is it possible that Points West during breakfast is pre-recorded or does not use live images from its camera? This morning the 7:30 news give you the impression it was still dark in Bristol when it was clearly day light.

A bit like the 6 o'clock news then, just the other way round.
