He did! So you miss out :smiley:

Well, yeah, but you ask people living in Normandy today what they are. French or descendants of ancient Norsemen.

Rhyming slang for ‘head’ when I was in my youth. 3KZ was a radio station that Jack Dyer called football for. You do remember 3DB, 3LO, 3AR, 3UZ, 3MP etc, don’t you?

I think I originally said Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

3MP was a late upstart, youngster. After 3UZ came 3DB, then 3KZ, 3XY and 3AK (where no Wrinklies fly).

3KZ ‘is’ football.

We’ll just check the scores on the Radio Rentals scoreboard.

Are you there Tommy?

Was it 3DB that used to leave you wondering whether a goal was coming up or not by suddenly switching over ‘Racing at Doomben’?

Is he young enough to recruit and put at full forward? Would be a whole 1MP better than 2MP!

Edit: fixed the fluffed punchline :man_facepalming:

Ooops!! Forgot 3AW! Shame on me. Between 3KZ and 3XY. Back in the old, old, old, old days the footy caller was Norman Banks, who loved his vocabulary. “Prodigious” punt kicks, etc.

It certainly was. The heart always sank when we were on 3DB.

3UZ was the main racing channel, in later years anyway.

I think Norman Banks was one of the very first football callers…

One of those 3s I listened to as a youngster but had to switch over to the FM band when they made the move or something.

3MP reminds me of the smell of a doctors office.

I think 3XY morphed into EON FM, which then became MMM.

Not sure it was the same organisation but Lee Simon went from 3xy on Am to Eon on FM. I think 3xy became some other station.
