Pah!! That's nothing!! I watched the Discovery channel
tonight - some French bird climbing 'The Old Man of Hoy'
whilst 3 months pregnant!! Some inconsiderant seagull
vomitted all over her to outraged cries of 'Merde!!!!'
Flamin' Frogs, coming over 'ere, climbing our stacks - !!
Mont Blanc not good enough for 'em eh?

Dave Not on call tonight therefore half [censored] on Guinness
Foreign Export & Laphroig!!

Plenty of shots of the S**T lorry. The lovely shots of the
Fans could have been lumped together in a 2 sec shot.

It was almost a case of contravening the trade descriptions
act calling it the Beacons! Why not call it Hill farming in
Llanddeusant - that would have been much nearer the mark.

I wonder which MRT team will "Star" in next week's program?

I look forward to it anyway.

(Brecon MRT).

Oh I missed that bit. Good I look forward even more keenly.

The Central Beacons MRT have been on TV a bit so I thought
they might be involved.

Thanks Gwyn - how are things?

Oh I don't know, there were a lot of good scenic shots. In
fact, many of them were excellent, especially the moody
snow shots up at Llyn y Fan Fawr, way better than the usual
standard of hill video that we get on TV. Many of those
shots would have made great still photographs. I was
impressed.

Don't take my comment too literally. Like you, I thought the
shots of Llyn-y-Fan Fawr excellent and it would have been
nice if we could have enjoyed them for just a bit longer.

The western side!

Yeah, are you sure it wasn't just a programme to make us
feel sympathetic toward the farmer's plight? Apparently he
has bills to pay. I was half expecting them to ask for a
donation at the end of the programme! :-)

Nice shiny vehicle they were leaning against at the end of
the prog though... No wonder they can't pay their bills.

Yeah! Of course they were wise to choose the most scenic
area of the whole Beacons, IMNSHO.
