Subject: RE: BS: Drunk BBC radio reporter at Spithead
The one you refer to is pre WWII and I first came across it on an American LP called "Pardon my Blooper" - I would bet CD's of it are available. Can't remeber the collectors name but it was memorable (ha!) thirty years ago. (I am only 29 now).

There are also many such bloopers like "Sir Stiffard Craps" and "The British Broad Corping Castration" by my favourite was the news reporter trying to describe, while overwhealmed by the sight of 100 ft flames "the fire at the Firestone Tyre Factory" - he never made it.

Well worth the reserarch.
