I well remember him being called for the defence in the week of the October '87 storm debacle. I don't even think he was even on duty that week, but he did his best. Rather unfair of the BBC, I thought. |

He certainly looked like it that morning. -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. http://peakdistrictweather.org @TideswellWeathr |
