John Tusa looks back at the events making the news 40 years ago. Red
rain falls over much of Britain. "


... good to hear Bert Foord's voice again. (Worked with him just before he
retired).

Where have those 40 years gone?

I was at school in Burnage, Manchester that day. Torrential rain and thunder
all day. Sky as black as night at times and green/yellow at times too.
School was flooded and we were sent home early but the roads were awash and
the bus never came so I walked home. I wrote my weather log up in big
capital letters as, as a 16 year old, I was so excited by it all! OK nothing
changes, I know :-)
