Well, we have a new presenter for the Breakfast team, for the time being at least. This is because Nigel Jay is off. The new presenter was not new to me, or anyone who listens (or listened!) to Radio City 96.7, as it was Tina Bangs. She used to read the news on Radio City every Breakfast time, until she moved to BBC North West as a reporter. Today she is presenting on NW Today!

I do have a photo from a screen grab, sio if anyone would host it for me here in this thread, then please message me!!

Good for you!! I like her. She has a really clear voice for reading the news - although you can't beat Nigel Jay!

Can anyone come up with a worse name than Tina Bangs???
Mathew Amrolliwola takes some beating!
Reminds me of the (obviously made up) travel news reporter in the West I heard, who called herself 'Pippa Horn'.

Well, i'm a wee bit of an athlete so i watched Athletics religiously last night. There was a pole vaulter, and hehehe she was Russian, and her name was (i don't know 1st name so i'll call her tina) Tina Uponova. (up and over)

hehehe! She did very well actually!
For the record, I do 400m and long jump. (only did pole vault once, and boy it's scary!)

The best one is Donald Trump's ex wife, Ivana Trump.

That takes some beating!!

What a horrible side aston (td) you have in North West. It's so rainy and dull. BBC Look North Leeds has nice summary blue and yellow colours, opposed to mustard and mud colour.
Nice presenter though!

(BTW - I made up an abbreviation - 'td' - this means technical definition as I kinda want to know what it is. It what people do when they type (sp).
Me and my sad mind!

Yes, you're right, the side aston thing is awful over here. I wish we had one like Look Norths!
