AFTER midnight last night I happened to see the opening minutes of Antiques Roadshow's visit to Jersey. Presenter Fiona Bruce, who has her own CH connections, was welcomed in the island's ancient language, Jèrriais, by a vigorous, burly, bearded bloke in old-fashioned garb - unmistakably the linguist, antiquary, journalist, painter, poet and independent politician Geraint Jennings (ColA 77-84) who by now must surely be Jersey's equivalent of a national treasure.
