[Tech1] Weather in Pres A circa 1970

[patheigham]

Hi Peter,
I thought you were going to come up with a version I heard – the ‘F’ fell off, and at the end the forecaster said to camera:
“I’m sorry about the F in Fog!” (say it quickly!)

I did the dreaded pan from the today chart to the tomorrow one many times. Jack Scott was a very funny man. He would take the magnetic symbols off the map immediately the red light went off. He explained that by doing that there was no evidence left of the forecast and couldn't be blamed for getting it wrong. He had, on one occasion I did it, used the magnetic letters FOG which, during the 10 seconds count down to TX, fell on the floor. He replaced them quickly and continued with his forecast explaining to the viewers that there would be patches of GOF in the Midlands.
 
Keep safe
