[TV] ITV Meridian

[Winker]

Say what you will,
School dinners make you ill,
And Davy Crockett died of shepherd's pie.
Our school din-dins come from pig bins
Out of town.

You must be as old as me!!

Having had Sky installed last month i was surprised that living in Swindon the ITV regional news is set to Meridian....we don't normally watch regional news but when its on I have been pleasantly shocked that in Swindon I see BHA news.....( previously on Virgin it was set to Birmingham)

Question is though why don't they ever mention Southampton or Portsmouth?? The region is called Thames Valley but Brighton is not in the Thames Valley..

BTW how old is Fred Dinage? I can remember him when I was a kid many moons ago..

That's weird as I have sky and get the local West country bumpkin news

Don't think we get Holly in Kent. Some ginger bloke normally. Not that I'm a frequent viewer

You can watch the weather with Holly Green, with her hair tucked behind her left ear, her bubbly personality, shiny blonde hair, lovely figure. I like Holly!

I don't watch the weather with Holly Green, I just watch Holly Green !

The question has to be why would a Southampton based TV station call themselves 'Meridian' given that the Greenwich 'meridian' which passes through Herstmonceux (rather nearer to Eastbourne from a latitude (or is it longitude) point of view ( is some way away from Southampton. Do they actually broadcast from somewhere nearer than I imagine ?

Is Out Of Town still on Meridian?

Played the theme tune to that on the Roar as an outro a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry, carry on...

I don't watch the weather with Holly Green, I just watch Holly Green !

Me too. I don't mean to. When the weather finishes, I've no idea what it's going to do, but I can remember what Holly was wearing!

Fred Dineage is 76. We think he's older because he looked 66 thirty years ago.

How?

Our school lyrics

‘Say what you will,
School dinners make you ill,
Orrible steak and kidney pie,

Peas all slimy,
Spuds gawd blimey,
Get em out.....of town.

The Greenwich meridian passes through Peacehaven in fact. Nowhere near Eastbourne.
