The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

We are here to inform, educate and er..... entertain?

Well if you can't have a laugh, what can you do?

Seriously though the whole East Yorks/Lincs area is something of a mishmash IMHO.

Is the Belmont transmitter down? Both of my TVs have had no signal for about 10 minutes.

EDIT: Typical. As soon as I post this, it comes back on.

Seems like it. Levy just mentioned problems on freeview due to high pressure.

Wow, if they ever bring back 'Service Information' Levy should be given the job

I didn't see Calendar or Look North tonight, but I trust there were fitting tributes to Bob Rust whose passing was announced on Friday evening?

On Calendar Jon just made a little reference to Bob. They showed a clip from 2002 with Jon, Christine and Geoff on the soft set chatting to Bob.

It was mentioned tonight that John Shires is today celebrating 30 years on the programme.

Tonight they’ve let Harry have a day off

I don't want to get into rota chat, but would that be the first time Lisa has done the main programme for a long time?

Even Peter had the night off in Hull. Caroline Bilton depped, she usually does Friday lates

I would say so. She is normally on early duty.
