Interesting point, do presenters wear a thistle on St Andrews day ? or a rose on St Georges day ?
central west and bbc midlands presenters, quite rightly, wear a rose for st george.

i'm pretty sure the central weather girls make an effort for st george's, so i'm surprised they haven’t bothered for st david. there'd be no harm in them recording all 5 central/htv weathers with a daff on really... although i can imagine the out cry from the otherside of the dyke if they recorded the htv weather wearing a rose on april 23rd Laughing

out of interest, do htv just use the central team now (charlie and emma) or do they still normally have su, jo and that miserable bloke?


Where has that miserable bloke gone? I was only thinking about his non-appearance yesterday but couldn't think of his name so didn't think it was worthy of posting!
I know Jez still remembers his name...............

Owan you know very well what his name is, unless you have a very short memory, as I told you when you asked a few weeks ago.

I found out today that the flag featured in the ident is used before a game in the stadium. Apparently it drops down for the singing of the welsh national anthem and it then hoisted back up before the game starts! And there was me thinking BBC Wales had spent some money making the flag for the ident!

BBC ONE Wales has just used the flag ident before the 6 O'clock news. Looks like we will be seeing more of this ident in the future!

Is it not a bit tacky, in-your-face and generally OTT don't you think?

A little bit of subtlety, understatement and thought tends to work better - the new Channel 4 logos spring to mind.

I think we can safely say BBC NI won't be following suit anyway. I stand to be corrected!

Well yes, but the Welsh will love it.
