Thanks to Pettigrew Tea Rooms for taking some of the new Ding Cic leaflets. Pettigrew is an historic name that gets a mention on the tours. We’re running a couple of tours over the weekend - spaces available.

14 years ago today, my darling little brother was brutally murdered in our family home when he answered the door to 2 men. They stabbed him to death & stabbed my parents.
Please contact ⬇️if you have any information that can bring justice for our family and an end to this ordeal

Great to see we made the cover and inside of the South Wales Echo supplement - another first for me as a former Western Mail recruit. Lots of coverage and good reviews so far for our new social enterprise Ding Cic

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.

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.

Some weeks ago I was asked to give a talk to the WI about working at the BBC. This was part of my presentation about the two minutes leading up to a live transmission on BBC 1.

🚍 A free public transport scheme for refugees is being wrapped up by the Welsh Govt.

🫸🏻 Although it was available to all refugees – some drivers were confused about the criteria and were turning away refugees who weren’t from Ukraine

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.”

Any rail passengers on here who often use the Cardiff-Nottingham service “calling at Glos, Cheltenham, Birmingham”? Keen to hear from you.

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
