Regards Banksey...You may wonder why he targets Meridian, Anglia and HTV West announcers!!???!!! It's because he failed to get a job there and has obviously become VERY BITTER!!!!!! This is sad, but we're not going to take it to heart.


OK. It's best not to. Right attitude.

But I am angry at the way Banksey speaks about my fellow announcers. They are talented and creative people and all have other jobs that they do. I won't stand by and let a bitter man slate my colleagues. Normally I would ignore it, but this just made my blood boil (OOOH is that to much passion for a Meridian, Anglia, HTV announcer...perhaps I should tone it down). And as for sending a virus to Banksey...we have much better things to do with our time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His comments were so nasty and unnecessary!! and I hope he won't make any more!!!!

OK. So you haven't taken it to heart then?

Just wondered how Amused is enjoying his job. I need to check only I'm so bitter and twisted that I don't have one. So damaged am I that I have no sense of humour. I only have time on my hands to post bitter and bitter notes on forums which are both bitter and intended to re-instate me as King Continuity announcer of the world - Only right and proper. People did complain about me while I was at HTV West, I just didn't like to say anything. They had to go in the ground with all the others. I am due to be released in 2025 parole permitting.

Officially, I think you are all lovely. You do a difficult job in an impossible environment, please accept my love and hugs.

Deary me! I thought all you announcers got on well! How wrong I was! Smile

I was thinking about being a continuity announcer as a career, but you two are putting me off Wink

Why does HTV Wales only seem to have about 3 announcers? - one of which also does the HTV weather! Perhaps when Dilwyn retires on his 110th birthday next year, there'll be a job going at HTV http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/biggrin.gif

No James, all CA's HATE one another, hadn't you twigged? You'll have to get up to speed on that, if you want to join the profession!

Now, if Amused puts out a hit on Banksey, as looks probable, there could be some weekend shifts at HTV Wales sooner than you think, James.

Well I knew that there was a bit of bitching going on at BBC Wales, but I thought the ITV1 regional CA's all loved each other - why the fighting then? is it a behind-the-scenes competition to see who has the sexiest voice, or the ability to keep a cool head in moments of technical crisis? Smile

Well, there's no competition over who's got the sexiest voice. Everyone agrees it's me.

And as for being calm in a crisis, there's no doubt on that one either, it's the presentation controller, that's what he's there for.

ofcourse all announcers write their own scripts- even lwt! u don't think tv companies can afford to pay someone to write them for them do you? and it would make it a very tedious job for the announcer if they just read out 5 seconds of someone elses words every so often !

That may explain why channel 5's are so stupid but LWT's must be written for them as they always say 'This is LWT your weekend ITV'


Not weekend ITV1?


Depends sometimes ITV sometimes ITV 1


It's either

'YOU'RE WATCHING LWT - PART OF ITV1'

or

'THIS IS LWT - YOUR WEEKEND ITV' (no '1').

They never use variations of these phrases, only the two exact versions shown above.

Does anyone know how to repair the brake pipes on a Renault Laguna? Mine appear to have split (not - have been cut you understand). Probably frost bite.

Must go now as a late Christmas present has arrived, must be a carriage clock from the way the package is ticking. Spoils the surprise when you can guess what it is. Oh no! It's stopped must need win............................................

Oh no, poor old Banksey's faded to black and closed down!

What will the Welsh do without him?

What on earth gave you the idea that I was an announcer James?
