Radio Wales and Ninja Turtles

Posted by Rob Irvine on January 7, 2008 2:50 PM | 

I took my turn again on BBC Wales's late morning show with Jamie and Louise today - if I carry on like this I will become a fully fledged media tart.
We were discussing, among other matters, the appointment of Wales' Commissioner for Older People, featured on page two of the Daily Post today (and on the front of the Western Mail). I was more than happy to sing the praises of the Welsh Assembly Government in making this "world first" appointment.
The needs of the older members of society are dreadfully neglected. That's an unacceptable state of affairs and as our population continues to age, it can only get worse without decisive action. But Ruth Marks' appointment will be meaningless unless she fights her corner hard and gets the right support from the public and private sector. She'll certainly get plenty of support from the Daily Post and we wish her all the best.

The discussion also reached into our classified section, traditionally packed in the New Year with unwanted Christmas gifts, none of which can explain the two examples I quoted - the sale of an unwanted Princess of Wales figurine and a Ninja Turtles truck. They sound like gifts from Christmas 1990.
