Frances Donovan sits in: bank closures and Welsh place names

Join Dot for lively debate, challenging stories and great music for the morning.

Roughly a bank a week is shutting in wales according to new figures. The banks say it's because many of us are managing our finances online.
Is this fair enough or do you feel totally abandoned by your bank?

And should Welsh places only have Welsh place names?
Comedian Tudur Owen says he's worried many Welsh place names are at risk of being lost and replaced with English ones, which are easier to remember and pronounce.
Do you live somewhere where the name has been replaced? Are you proud of your Welsh place name?
