BBC Breakfast News, "Breakfast with Britain", back in around 1995 or so ?
It was a REALLY good idea; they'd co-host the program, partly from the London studio (TVC), and partly from an OB site, usually in a spectacular part of the UK. (stately homes, places like Port Meireon, Historic sites, museums or famous attractions etc).
You've just jogged a memory; travelling back from the OB with a People-carrier full of heavy equipment (hence difficult to stop quickly), and the sheep would just amble out into the road in front of you. No fences.

Sheep rule.  I take it you were the technical side of the camera?  |

Sort of. I managed the mobile IT systems. (this was in the days before WiFi and Broadband, and the poor little journalists couldn't live without their computer link back to London. It also controlled the autocue, without which the presenters would just stare blankly into the cameras and dribble).
I've got a vague idea that we did one in Cardiff as well. Does Cardiff have an avante-guard building shaped like a flattend tube ? A museum or art gallery or something ?

No, this was MUCH smaller than that.
I think it was a visitor center, and has since been dismantled ?

Was it the visitors information centre at the Bay?

After a fashion. I work for a micro-company. I look after their website(s), and their internal computers. And do sales. And operations. And... whatever. Basicly, if you want a conveyor belt (or conveyor-related accessories), then I am your man. See www.conveyor-belts.co.uk. (all my own work) It is less interesting than Onions. (actually, I find MOST things less interesting than onions... but then, I seem to have become somewhat obsessed with Aliums of late) |

That is a very friendly web site Roofy.
Looks like you come to the rescue of a lot of manufacturers needing quick repair solutions.  |

Indeed Dianthus. Sadly, I now need someone to come to the rescue of my onions. They have all wilted and keeled over  I think I may have overheated them, and they have bolted. I'll try transplanting them on into unheated plantpots/troughs anyway, see if they perk up ? |

Oh dear, Roofy..... don't ask me, though. I'm usually in the allium lost fog, as well |

Get the potting medium moist before transplanting and then withhold water for a couple of weeks. My own sowing is now in 3in pots and are on their third leaf despite temperatures down to 2C. Gave them a watering today, 20 days after transplanting. |
