Default The October 1987 Hurricane

Shame you had to perpetrate this bit of media mischief, because, as
the
dots at the end of the quote indicate, Fishy was cut off. He continued,
"Having said that, it is going to get very windy". It doesn't seem to
have
done him an awful lot of harm, but that bit of broadcasting history, at
least,
is bunk.


Even less harm, now he's retired. At teatime I heard an advert over the
car radio and pricked my ears up to the sound of a familiar voice. If it
wasn't Michael, he should sue.

It went something like: "Today, a lady rang and said she'd heard that a
hurricane was on the way. Well, if you're listening, I'm not bothered
about it a bit because I've got a new Worcester Bosch boiler
..........................."

Now he's free of the UKMO restrictions, he's obviously been busy gathering
a few extra pound notes to insulate him against the worst the weather can
throw at him.
