Poor guy on Radio1

[jimborae]

Here is the section that relates to nuisance calls in the communication act 2003....



note section 4, although this probably pertains more to the actual broadcasting, even then the calls that are made are not "grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character" or "for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another,"

The second one is a little more vague, although the caller did say that she would not continue the call if the recepiant did not want to, she said this repeatedly. The anxiety caused may be more applicable to the guy, but he said he understood the risks. Also an important distinction is that this is one call, not 5, 10, or hundreds

Well done, I'd forgotten about section 4 & broadcast programming I'll edit my post.

Still trivialises nuisance calling though.

Listening to it now, i didnt catch this yesterday but i heard them mentioning it quite a bit between 5:30-6pm as i was driving to work, during that time they got back in contact with him and checked to see if he was ok off air, and Scott said he'd report back after the news at 6pm but i didnt get to hear this either as i had arrived at work. So if anyone wants an update skip forward to around 6pm

Just listened to the follow up call.

It was decent that they made sure the guy was ok, they continued to try to help and did it off air then checked to see if would be suitable and ok with the guy to broadcast.

im just listening now, took me ages to get realplayer on the computer, much to my distaste.

If the person rang in then they deserve all they get.

Exactly, what was he expecting? Anyway, its all rather tame compared to some of the stuff they get upto in the states and some of Europe.

If I was listening to this on the radio, I'd be in stitches for the woman.. On the guys side this is harsh but he found an answer to something he thought was going on anyway.. so its good/bad for him and BAD BAD BAD for her

bad kalma has played a part on that somewhere.. justice has been served!

[Swafe]

Not harsh.

He asked them to find out, and they did, provides some comedy entertainment for us listeners plus would he sooner find out now, or wait till his mrs gives him some dirty STD?

[TonyBurn]

That Ollie guy returned on the Scott mills show today after much concern from thousends of listeners.

He sounded as if he'd got over her anyways.
