Oh do keep up please Pippa!
This photograph has been on the frontpage for bloody weeks!
And what's wrong with it precisely?
It's a prefectly lovely photograph of Wales for God's sake!
What would you prefer to have on the frontpage of the WAG website? Don't tell me - Merthyr Tydfil Leisure Centre???
(This blog should not be banned for political reasons. It should be banned because its crap and actually getting worse by the week!)
