Unfortunately the designer appears to have lacked he ability to sketch in 3d. Oh well, looks like it's back to the Bugatti for all of us dreamers...

Andrew353w Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Westward T.V. was established by Sir Peter Cadbury (he of the chocolate fame) and it was a great company, with an interest in the local area. T.S.W. (Television South West) who gained the franchise in 1982 were never as good at the local stuff. bigstraight6 and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a point there. My late grand-father and father ran an electrical retail business in Bideford and were enthusiastic supporters of Sir Peter Cadbury and his plans-not least since a good local T.V. franchise would encourage sales of T.V.s! KERCHING! Oddly north Devon (but not the rest of the county) had the relative luxury of tow I.T.V. franchises; Westward T.V. from Plymouth and (as it was) T.W.W. (Television Wales and the West) from Bristol, which was transmitted from South Wales. I appreciate I've gone "off piste" rather here, so will take my anorak from under the pile of coats in the spare room and take my leave...... somewhatfoolish and Richard_FM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
