Aye, cancer clearly doesn't care if you're a cunt or not, but if it did he'd have been brown bread about 30 years ago.

He ripped off Alan Beswick's format and discovered there was money to be made by being a tw@t. So he has behaved like a tw@t for 35 years.

Was it Red rose radio?
We all used to turn up in St Kevin’s like zombies, after sitting up till 2 in the morning listening to that.

We were working nights, and used to tune in.

Made a 12 hour shift go a bit quicker.

This. Beswick's show was an absolute must for me and my mates when we were in the sixth form. Brilliant listening, especially the crank callers, some of whom were my mates. Radio phone ins were still a novelty back then.

Whale was always an odious cunt.

I called in around the time of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. I was working nights and called to complain about being sexually harassed by my boss**. I got about 10 seconds in and the line went dead.

**I wasn't btw.

Totally agree. Whale wasn’t fit to lace Beswick’s laces.

Toilet flushes. Call ends.

Also - "Scousers are banned".

There was some young lad who used to ring up and constantly got cut off by Beswick. "You're too young; you should be in bed" etc. He once rang up and put on a deep voice and opened with "Me and the wife". Beswick asked him his wife's name, birthday and star sign. When he couldn't tell him her star sign, Beswick cut him off with "Get to bed you lying child" 😆

Brilliant wasn't it. Banning Scousers was a masterstroke, got everyone listening & we'd always find a way onto it.

Cos you can’t get Teenage Eskimo in Wantage…

He used to say that if you drew a line from Liverpool to the east of England you would find good people above it. And a couple from Birkenhead.

This New Brighton lid was highly offended.*

*I wasn't.
