OK, now find the half past midnight forecast where the warning was issued that it had veered. Nobody remembers that because the journalists had all gone down the pub to get pissed and so the false narrative spread that it was a 'wrong' forecast.

PS It never reached Force 12 on the south coast, only for the final ten minutes it spent over the Suffolk coastline.

Never mind video recorders, I remember when the remote control came out. It was the only exercise people got, getting up out of their chair to turn the channel over, that said most parents got the kids to do it. That was something as well, watching tv as a family.

When tuning the TV in meant flipping the little panel down and twisting the knob to get the right channels. Had to wait for the adverts to finish to see if you’d got right channel. Or have TV times to hand.

I remember Radio Caroline, a pirate ship in the English Channel, when I was stationed in the UK. My favorite DJ? Simon Dee.

No, just old enough to remember that later forecast and waking up in my Croydon flat about 4am to go to the loo. As I got back into bed I thought Hmm, it is a bit breezy out there and I went straight back to sleep.

I loved Terry on Radio 2, stopped listening to the morning show when he left.

She messed around with loads of people.
