You'd have thought they'd get more guards in if the prisoners always escaped at the same time every week. |

I can still remember that dour sounding hooter...always seem to remember it on cold winter mornings rather than hot sunny days.

Don't see the point of doing it really.

It was supposed to be the real thing, and marks 25 years of the railworks being closed. I think that its a shame not to celebrate the towns heritage. This seems as good a way as any. Well the real hooter would have been, whether a recording is going to cut it remains to be seen. |

Used to live at the Rodbourne end of Ferndale Road as a kid, and the old hooter would go off at 5 minute intervals in the morning and if I was not out of bed by the time it went off at 7.30, the old dear would be going mental about me being late for school. So up I would get, wait for her to go to work, and then fuck off down Telfords pool for a days fishing.

I always thought it would have been good to have a hooter at the match perhaps 5 mins before kick off, like a call to the match.

If I remember correctly it features at the start of "The Meeting Place" on XTC's Skylarking album.
