Quoting a previous Alex Jenkins contribution:-

May well be that they have used up their allocation of time with our
most recent thread, a most enjoyable one though with a dreadful subject

It was a very interesting conversation. The good thing about Anorak Nation is that we know how to natter here without being spiteful, nasty or obsessive.

Anyway, I suspect others here are like me in being thankful to Alan for sharing so much about his mother's experiences and his journey to 'see for himself'. His understanding and explanations were compelling. Thanks, mate!

Lightening things just a bit, and moving back to the chronicling of radio's history, what would be the best way to keep it real? They say to never let the truth get in the way of a good story, but would there be a way of writing it all down without it being 'enhanced' for consumption, and yet it not be really really boring?

I mean, was offshore radio actually really really boring, but we just like to think of it as having not been because we are caught up in the embellished stories or our imagination runs wild?

Or was / is it still exciting and fun even when you just stick to the truth of what really happened and when?
