Hi Cardiff Council.
Any date on when the new cycle lane by Queen St station is going to be opened? It looked finished weeks ago. The contractors said it was waiting for the council to sign it off.
Thanks.
My ITV debut can be seen here. Scroll to the tailpiece (obvs). Arguably I was outshone by Rebecca Leach.
Well I’m arguing about it anyway.
More superb reporting by alex thomson
See if you can watch it without shaking your head.
It’s taken me 40 years but I may be about to make my debut on ITV Wales News this evening. My previous appearances have been restricted to press conference “cutaways” and off-mic shouted questions.
Poncho weather today on our #Cardiff city centre, parks and #LlandaffCathedral tour with Aldean, Justine, AJ and Emilia from Wakefield. Dried off with coffee and a bit of piano in Kings Road Yard Email to book for tomorrow - forecast is sunny. [email protected]
Great to be at the BBC Radio 5 Live 30th anniversary bash with former colleagues James Shaw, Ali Carter and presenters supreme Rachel Burden and the peerless Peter Allen.
As it’s BBC Radio 5 Live anecdote day - I was once reporting about queuing ambulances at a Swansea hospital.
“Nine hundred and ninety nine patients are waiting,” said the presenter.
“There are a lot,” I replied. “Not quite that many, though. They’re 999 patients.”
Heading north later to join the 30th anniversary of what my interviewees would occasionally call “5 Alive”.
In many ways, it was and still is.
Others have copied its style but for me, it was a place where reporting = conversation and where irreverence was championed. BBC Radio 5 Live
