Default Why Bikers die on Welsh Roads - TV tonight

BBC 1 Wales program "Week In, Week Out" tonight is the one that filmed us on the Bikesafe course in April. It is about why bikers continue to die on Welsh roads, despite speeding clampdown and education....... the trailer shows some scary stuff.

So if you can get 'special Welsh TV' it is on at 10:30 tonight. BBC 1 Wales is also available on Freeview / Sky / Cable if you have that.

My girlfriend saw this and reckons it's because the "tourists" don't know what 'Araf' means.

Thank heaven that my parents are down here helping my brother with his newly spawned offering... if they were back home they would have seen this and I would have been in for no end of guilt-laden sighs and cautionary messages down the telephone!

I think that's probably how some of them read it...

Seriously though, nah, that'd be 'Aran'.

See how this Welsh language malarky causes confusion?
