Bell Rock, Tiree, > ^ ^ > ships including Second word still sound like shipping to me but it may be that I am used to the generic term shipping which is always used by the BBC and never ships. Thanks for filling in the other words. >This sounds like it is a warning of gale easterly winds in the Cromaty area >based on reports from ships in the area and the Bell Rock and Tiree stations, >and then continuing on to reports from the Malin and Sellafield areas. Not The problem still remains that Bell Rock and Tiree are not sea areas so why not give the sea area names (as with Cromaty - my crude maps seem to indicate that Bell Rock is around the boundary of Cromarty and Forth). Also Bell Rock and Tiree are on opposite coasts! While it is possible for the same weather conditions to be experienced at the same time on east and west coast I would consider this rare. Also, easterly winds in GB are rare and easterly gales are rarer still. So if this is an actual report then it all adds up to a fairly unique situation. But then we all know Kate is quite unique herself don't we! If I were a betting man I'd say it was not an actual broadcast. >From: IED0DXM%UCLAMVS.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.edu >OK, so it was twenty years ago today. So?
