Cwmbran’s Owen Filer was 104 years, 11 months and 27 days old when I was lucky enough to chat to him for two hours. That was two days ago and he’s 105 on Saturday. The full video will take a few days to sort out. These are just the clips of the laughs between his stories :-)

Pop to pub for County game on my own. Billy No Mates. Put a few feelers out . I’d never break a confidence. This is two replies from some ‘former friends’ who are both in their late ish 40s. I still feel 26. 😅
Is there a world record for the longest running mother and toddler group? These friends started their club in 1966 and still meet up in Cwmbran every week :-) (minus their adult children)
🥰 In 1966 this group of women started a mother and toddler group and still meet up every week for a laughter-filled catch-up (minus their adult children). They've done this for 58 years!

In 2009, S4C current affairs series ‘Taro 9’ interviewed Alan Bates about the Post Office scandal.
While lesser known, Welsh-medium broadcaster S4C was *way* ahead of the curve. His excoriating interview is worth digesting.
Get the full story on iPlayer.
Captivated by Mr Bates vs The Post Office? Remember that it was journalists who got this story to where it is now. Good old mainstream media. They've published 1000s of stories on this scandal over the years that led to this incredible TV drama.
