RE: The River Ripper News Report On Radio 1



....and the chief inspector on the case has this message for the killer.

INSPECTOR: If the killer would like to get in touch with us, we have trained police officers ready to take your call.

-----cut to training school-----

LECTURER: Welcome to the taking phone calls training course

We'll start off with Steve here demonstrating how not to answer a phone call.

A phone on the desk starts ringing.

STEVE: Hello?........hello, is anyone there?........hello?

LECTURER: Now can anyone tell me what Steve was doing wrong there?.........Yes Paul?

PAUL: He was just speaking at the phone, you need to pick it up first.

LECTURER: Do you care to demonstrate this to the class Paul?

PAUL: Sure.

Paul gets up and the phone starts ringing again. Paul picks up the phone.

PAUL: Hello?........hello, is anyone there?........hello?

LECTURER: Now can anyone tell me what Steve was doing wrong there?.........Yes Robert?

ROBERT: He picked up the whole phone, you only need to pick the reciever bit up.

LECTURER: Why don't you come to the front and demonstrate?

The phone rings and Robert picks up the reciever.

ROBERT: Hello?......Hold on, I'll just get him for you.

Robert passes the phone reciever to the lecturer who puts it back on the phone base.

LECTURER: Well done Robert. That class is how you answer a phone. Tomorrow we'll look at the more complicated procedure of pressing a call accept button to answer a call.
