I was always amazed that someone could actually ring through with a message.
In 1987 as now it was almost impossible to get a details of any sort through
that would actually be read out before a broadcast.
In the January 1987 snows a colleague of mine tried to impart some
information about the terrible conditions in Kent giving some description of
the conditions on the roads with current temperatures, wind speeds etc and
having finally got through was told " you should not be out in these
conditions" and hung up.

Have your ever thought, Gianna, that Mike Fish's own
version might be the mythical one?

I'm sure I heard, probably on here, that there was no phone call ?
