Speaker 5: Breakfast, Deevid Penberthy and Wild Goodings.
00:00:23
Speaker 1: Moight have to see. It's good morning. Tell you're welcome to Friday on five double A Breakfast. It is the twenty fourth of April. Tomorrow is Anzac Day and we've got a very Anzac Day show today and we're hoping you can be a big part of it. It is, of course Meat Tray Friday today, the meat provided by Liam Joanna and the team at my Locael Butcher Schanella's sixty two Prospect Road. At Prospect, what we want you to do is something really simple because we have a theory that we want to test, and that is that everyone listening in their family has a veteran. They're proud of someone who has served the country. It might be whatever conflict you're like, World War one two, you know, anything from the Bore Wharf Forward, Frankly, Vietnam, Korea, you name it, Afghanistan, Iraq. If they've served. We'd love to give you the opportunity to shout out just what someone in your family call in and let us know their relationship to you, where they served and when it was and you're in the running for the meat traits as simple as that. We're handing the show today to a celebration of our family members who have served. So you can call in an eight double two to three double O and put yourself in the running to win the meat trade. That is going to be a lot of fun. Over the course of the morning, we'll talk ant that day Footy with Hamish McLaughlin from seven's AFL broadcast. After six thirty, Michael Smith will join us. We'll flash back in time. Timmy g is going to be on the program. We will chat. We're going to talk about this wonderful story that we had on seven last night with regard to a stack of medals that showed up in an op shop that have now been returned to the family from whence they came lost medals stack And it's a really lovely story for Anzac Dave that we'll get into. We'll play Nearest to the Pen. We've got feedback Friday. It should be a terrific morning. David Penberthy in good morning.
00:02:08
Speaker 4: To you, Good morning Will, Good morning listeners. I really love this meat tray Friday topic. I'd be surprised if more than half of our listeners, at least half of our listeners, didn't have family members going back in the day. When you consider that the percentage of men who enlisted for World War One in particular, it was just off the charts. But yeah, I can easily rattle off a few names from our family.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: Technically, I shouldn't count.
00:02:38
Speaker 4: Bill Schmidt because he's not a blood relative, even though he's known as Uncle Bill and always will be. He's our next door neighbor. But he was in Changy, But so too was a great uncle of mine, Purse Matters. Uncle Purse. Uncle Purse was a farmer near Wosley's after the war, as tough as old Marles. We got a phone call that he'd had a bit of an accident and he'd driven himself to the Royal Adelaide. The accident involved getting his left forearm caught in a combine harvester and ripping the bone out, and he just drove his shirt around and he drove from Wosley's to North Terrace.
00:03:18
Speaker 1: That's tough, just different type of tough. Nays Yeah, yeah, that is extraordinary. Uncle Purse God rest your soul. Amazing. Then later on uncle Fred. Uncle Fred served in the in the conference Assi. It's why I asked that chap the other day. He ringing because he served in it too. Between Malaysia and Indonesia in the nineteen fifties, served in Vietnam. He became he was a brigadier. He went right up the tippy top of the Australian military. Wow.
00:03:47
Speaker 4: He coordinated an exercise called Kangaro eighty nine, which was a mock battle held in northern Australia between and a country called the Chimerians. And you know they do those kind of every few years. They do those sorts of events.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: They're huge, massive, people get killed, people have been killed doing them, yeah, previously because they'll use live fire and stuff like that. That's a huge undertaking. It's a massive thing, a massive India.
00:04:22
Speaker 4: You've got to know Kim Beasley quite well, because Kim Beasley was the Defense Minister at the time.
00:04:26
Speaker 1: From memory, it's a couple so my two great grandfathers on Dad's side, so his two grandfathers both served on the Western Front in the First World War, and I've told the story before, much my father's surprise. You can have a grandparent with two legs because they both lost a leg on both sides fighting in the Western Front in the First World War. Interestingly, one of them that his career has a huge ride up. If you go to the Australian War memorial, it's all detailed and the story of how he was extracted and there's all this rich detail of this injured soldier. The other one's nothing. There's you can you can see the injury forms that were filled out, you know, you can see the paperwork, but there's no there's this whole narrative around one of them, which is fascinating. And then my grandfather, which I think sort of sort of spurred my love of all things Navy and things served in the on the on the Quiberon and the Second World War, a little destroyer that was one of the Q class destroyers that we had here. Not that he loved war it or he hated war, but I was just fascinated asking him things growing up about his time serving in the in the Second World War. So what we just did. Is what we want you to do. Folks, call in with your stories of people in your family that have served, and we're going to do this all morning because there's no better day for it than ANZAC. Dave, Wendy and Elizabeth, you were first caller through this morning. Win, Who do you want to talk about?
00:05:48
Speaker 6: Good morning, I've got I've got to actually in my my uncle Clive World War two. He went everywhere as in Powers Star and yeah, very moving. He's a really old fashioned Oh he's passed now, but my goodness, he used to As kids, we had big bonfires that Anley love Stirt, Yeah, just an old digger. He was fantastic. And recently my son he's in his forties now, but he went to Iraq and these team more and just yeah, I was just so proud of both of them, you know I But to have my son go too was very moving and yeah, they never talked about anything and very strong men, both of them. So I'm very proud. And actually my partner and I went to Blipoli last year, not during ANZAC, but I sort of an off season and it was so moving.
00:06:56
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, It's something I'll always remember and.
00:07:02
Speaker 1: Terrific we get a started. We appreciate it. Thank you. Let's go to apple in. John, Good morning, Good morning.
00:07:09
Speaker 8: I'd like to the latest story regarding my late uncle George Hodgens. He was part of the second fourth Machine Gun Battalion that was sent up to Singapore within days or week or so before Singapore, philm. He traveled initially to Changy and he told me when I was a young lad that Changy was a rest home as compared to his life up the line traveling with h Force. He and other Australians and troops was involved in the the Health five Past Coming, which is the most memorable part of that whole line. He returned to Adelaide and married my Auntie and his best man was Bill Schmidt, which was most interesting given that David, your very fond memories of your uncle Bill. Yes, I have photos of both my uncle George and Bill Schmidt, my mother and her sister at their wedding.
00:08:32
Speaker 1: John.
00:08:33
Speaker 8: One other that I find most poignant was that Uncle George lived Seton Park. His bordering hole was the Seedon Park Alsil. He on a return across the railway line to his home at Seedon Park, was hit by a Train luckily survived. It was very very broken up and spent in hospital, and I'll go to visit him. And I was thinking what can I do to lift his spirit? Anyway, I had this idea of writing to where he dunlop to inform Weary of Uncle George's plight, h and not thinking that he would find the time or he certainly of the interest, but find the time to reply. So he returned a letter to my uncle George saying, chip your spirit up. The Japs couldn't fill you, so train would have no hope.
00:09:43
Speaker 1: That's extraordinary. Wow, great stories, but thank you. That was remarkable. Keep coming in, folks. Act double two three, double O, double oh is the number. Sue and Shane will hear from you about someone in your family you'd like to recognize. On this Anzac Day.
00:09:56
Speaker 2: Evening, knockdown build tea with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:10:05
Speaker 3: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:10:07
Speaker 5: David ben Burbee and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: Twenty three after six really special meat tro this morning on Anzac Day. You we're learning a little bit about the family members and the families of those that listen to five double a Breakfast and how they observed the country with stories and shout outs that listeners are giving and in the process putting themselves in the running to win the meat trail. Be it. This feels like one of those topics that people would call in without a price, because there's nothing like the pride you have in a family member. Sue and my law tell us about your family member that served morning.
00:10:37
Speaker 9: Guys, I'm just rushing off the op shop. Can I just say our op shop is open tomorrow on end Zac Day and we're donating all of our takings to the legacy.
00:10:44
Speaker 1: Good Sue, well done.
00:10:46
Speaker 4: Yes, people know that, beautiful sir.
00:10:48
Speaker 9: My great uncles were Sir Ross and Sir Keith Smith who flew the Vickers vim outep.
00:10:55
Speaker 1: We may have heard of them.
00:10:56
Speaker 9: Sou Uncle Ross was one of the most created pilots in World War One and he was the favorite pilot of Lawrence of Arabia. So as go to pilot.
00:11:09
Speaker 1: How did that come about?
00:11:10
Speaker 9: So they well, he was just the best pilot, full stop. And they used to he used to get him to fly really and these were like you know, those little old planes they used to fly these really low level missions just above the enemy campgrounds to take photographs. So they used to have to fly one hundred few hundred feet at the most above enemy camps to take photographs. And so he was considered the best pilot. So Lawrence actually wrote about him in his book. He was a huge fan of his and uncle Ross was well known as yeah, the best pilot going around, so very proud of that.
00:11:50
Speaker 1: Ye as you should do. So that's a remarkable not just a bit of family history, but Australian history. Let's go to Brooklyn Park, Shane, good morning.
00:12:00
Speaker 8: Out to my uncle.
00:12:01
Speaker 10: He was in the SAS second Squadron there and he last year in twenty twenty five, he wrote a book called Kip of the Spear. He was the forward scout, meaning the person right off the front, leading a team of four or five people. He got dropped into the jungle always the Kong behind enemy lines, so there was only the four or five of them. He was seventeen at the.
00:12:30
Speaker 11: Time and.
00:12:34
Speaker 10: Got a bit brachial. I just want to read a little bit from.
00:12:38
Speaker 4: His book, if you go, mind, we'd love to hear it.
00:12:42
Speaker 10: As I moved forward, I noticed some thickets of bamboo I holded to check the middle ground, then the distant ground. Satisfied there was no immediate threats, I looked down to carefully place my feet. I froze. The sun was twittering through to the jungle flour and I noticed a shiny, straight piece of wire at shinn height. I squatted down slowly and gave the Sun's downs thentrol command of movement up to me. The wire was inchest from me. My heart was racing and I was dripping with sweat. Up safely moving away. We followed the trip wire to the base of small tree three meters away. I was attached to an instantaneous hand grenade. I've seen the grotesque result of booby traps and was faithful I had seen the wire in time.
00:13:34
Speaker 1: Wow, my uncle.
00:13:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's an incredible bit of writing.
00:13:41
Speaker 1: Chat. That's remarkable. You should you should be proud, Shane, Yeah, absolutely, litter of these stories going to be very emotional. Well, they might be for people. I mean seventeen years so, says tip of the spears. They are the tip of the spear of the most elite element of the Australian Armed Forces. But there at seventeen Yeah, he's seventeen, and you're going into an area that, by its nature by where the SSAS operates, it hasn't been cleared. It's not ready for an operation. You'll just you dropped into the middle of the action. That's just extraordinary hard to remade around. Thank you for that, Shane keeping coming in eight double two three at double O. DOUBLEO is the number nineteen point eight degrees outside in the city at the moment, heading for a top today of twenty seven the weekend. What's the latest weekend forecast. We'll get the full update from the bureau, but tomorrow twenty eight bit of rain around actually now in the forecast zero to two millimeters tomorrow and then zero to four on Sunday, so might get a little bit. It drops away the weather top temperature twenty one on Sunday and then warms up again next week twenty four Monday, twenty seven, Tuesday, twenty eight Wednesday and twenty nine on Thursday. Tom Ren is in the studio with us Glider our Garage Doors heading Strength, Style and Safety to your home gliderol dot com dot au, who will be playing the role of bugler at a dawn service tomorrow morning. I believe Rennie.
00:15:01
Speaker 12: Yes out of rose Water in the morning, so little one and then before the Port District's footag club came tomorrow.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: You're doing a double shift.
00:15:08
Speaker 13: A double amy, so yeah, that should be good. So looking forward to it.
00:15:13
Speaker 12: Actually, I think it's the first time they've sort of done something like this Port Districts and got the anthem and everything going, so it should be a big day. And then off to call the footy for the Port game after that their Port a long game, so they do a.
00:15:25
Speaker 4: Good job with that relation to collaborating with the Cats to make sure it's got the appropriate com memority of the Anzac day vibe to it.
00:15:33
Speaker 12: They've done a great job for a long time, so I'm looking forward to it. And they're unchanged just from a football perspective, Port, which I.
00:15:38
Speaker 13: Think is good. Even though they lost last week. They are really solid.
00:15:41
Speaker 12: I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform against the side they have struggled against a lot in the past. That's a big game and of course for the Crows, well they play on Sunday. I think you know, we're all behind Jordan Dawson and you know his name to play it this day to the intention now things could change, but at this stage he is set to play, so we just hope that he goes well. And you know, we know it's been a very stressful and emotional time. So yeah, absolutely, you know everyone will be hoping he goes well on Sunday.
00:16:11
Speaker 4: Completely big game, both of Brisbane and the Crows because it's absolutely level pegging on the ladder. Yeah, there was a similar situation a couple of years ago.
00:16:20
Speaker 1: They had a draw.
00:16:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, they were both even and then for the rest of the year Brisbane didn't lose a game and I think the Crows one another two.
00:16:26
Speaker 13: Yeah, exactly.
00:16:27
Speaker 12: And look, the Crows did beat Brisbane last year in the one game they played at Adelaido five goals to Zip in the final quarter, so they can match up against them. But they haven't beaten Brisbane over there since twenty eighteen. So it's a tough challenge.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: You want to if you want to get Brisbane in the first half of a year. Yes, Brisbane, they flip the switch to EAM.
00:16:45
Speaker 12: They start slow and then they build up and you get the sense they'll do it again. Round kicked off last night. Aaron Norton.
00:16:51
Speaker 4: That's the end of one that's one of.
00:16:53
Speaker 1: The most gruesome incidents I've ever seen.
00:16:56
Speaker 12: It was horrific, wasn't it. Thankfully, I think he's okay. They're gonna have more stands today.
00:17:01
Speaker 13: Maybe a strained neck they think was it Danny Morton?
00:17:05
Speaker 1: That Danny.
00:17:06
Speaker 12: It was a horrible injury. Yeah, thirty odd years ago or twenty five years ago. But yeah, Aaron, it was sickening. But look, it looks like he's going to be alright.
00:17:16
Speaker 1: So thank goodness the thumbs up when they got him on the in the moment that the moment you saw it. You look, they look like you're breaking his neck completely.
00:17:24
Speaker 4: But yeah, so hopefully he'll be all right. What have they got like inverted crucifixes, black cats.
00:17:33
Speaker 13: Footing, wretched run, haven't they?
00:17:36
Speaker 9: So?

00:18:02
Speaker 1: Breakfast twenty minutes to seven off de France. In a moment, the world's biggest kite flying vegetable is on there at the moment. It's been going for thirty nine years, representing twenty eight countries across the world. Australia has been represented at the event by two a couple from here in Adelaide that handmake their kites and go every single year. We're crossing there to chat with them. In just a moment. We're quite a moving meat tray this morning, thanks to the wonderful people at Shanella's who were delighted to have them on board for this very special meat tray. Friday sixty two, Prospect Road at Prospect where we're asking you to shout out a family member who served, however recent or distant their service may have been. What was their relationship to you, Where did they serve as story about their service. We've had some wonderful calls in the first half hour of the show and we want that to continue right through until nine o'clock. So let's head to Selex Beach because a Janet has called in. Janet, good morning to.
00:18:56
Speaker 14: You, Oh you.
00:18:57
Speaker 15: Good morning guys. My father in law was a gunna in G for for George four sixty squadrons and when G for George was placed in the War Memorial in Canberra, we got an invitation to go, and my husband didn't want to go. He said he'd be too emotional, and I said, well, you'll be sorry if you don't, so I talked to our son and daughter in law in too coming with us, and it was absolutely a fabulous morning, and there was a we actually met. My husband got to meet the pilot for G for George and Holland Gardener from York Peninsula, and he told Mark he put the first two bob in his money box when he was little, and my father in law did thirteen missions over Berlin and he was only meant to.
00:19:38
Speaker 16: Do about five.
00:19:40
Speaker 15: So people avoid the number thirteen, but not for us, thirteen lucky lucky number. And quite often we go to restaurants, we get table number thirteen, we get it's just pops up a lot, So thirteen is very very lucky for us. And we go to the dawn service in my ponger each time. And also I was going to say that Colin Gardner, who was the pilot lived on York and Ninja ended up sponsoring my father in law to come out from Yorkshire and when my husband was twelve. So that was yeah, quite quite amazing.
00:20:17
Speaker 4: Well, all wonderful memories get out thirteen.
00:20:20
Speaker 1: Yes, and talking about writing luck well, a lot of guys didn't make that. I mean there was the attrition rate among Allied bombers, especially going deep into Germany was horrific.
00:20:31
Speaker 15: The weird gunners were the first to get Yeah, I'm sure that weren't they. He was very fortunate and he lived to eighty six I think he was when he passed away.
00:20:40
Speaker 1: Wow, some extraordinary things. That's just thank you guys, thank you, thanks for sharing your story. Janet. Those Lancasters are just remarkable planes. What a story, thirteen sort he is into into Germany. Let's talk about something else that goes that flies in the air, but is much more peaceful and pleasant to imagine if your eyes. There is a festival going on in France at the moment at the beach by the coast, so the backdrop is water and in the sky kites, thousands of them from everywhere in the world, twenty eight different countries. It's a festival. It's been going on for thirty nine years and Adelaide is well represented there because Australia is represented there. By our next guest and her partner, Linda Sanders.
00:21:24
Speaker 17: Good morning to you, good evening from here.
00:21:28
Speaker 1: It would be almost midnight in France.
00:21:30
Speaker 17: I'm guessing Linda correct, after a very heavy day.
00:21:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, thank you for starting up so late to talk to us back here in Adelaide.
00:21:38
Speaker 17: That's fine.
00:21:39
Speaker 4: What a wonderful part of the world during I'm just looking at the map of my French is terrible, but it says Laplage Burk sur Mayer. Anything with the word siwal Mare in it. By sea, you must be a pretty good spot to be staying. I'm imagining it's a.
00:21:54
Speaker 17: Beautiful, beautiful beach. I know Adelaide has lovely beaches, but this beach just it is flat and it goes for miles, but when the tide goes out, it's so far that you can't see it, and the beach is just full of public coming to watch all the four hundred and something numbered kite flyers who have joined together for this wonderful event.
00:22:20
Speaker 1: So when does or how does an enthusiasm for kite flying take you from Adelaide to France. Where did it all start?
00:22:28
Speaker 17: Oh gosh, a plastic kite that at a petrol station gave away one year and we thought that our children would love it, and they didn't, but we did.
00:22:40
Speaker 1: And now is it right that you might make these kites? Now?
00:22:46
Speaker 18: Yes?
00:22:46
Speaker 17: Between myself and my husband, we are kite makers. He and I decided to do separate things. Though he went straight into his kite making. I decided to let him do that, and I work on the waving feathers banners. But my banners are the artistic presentation of my own style, which is a fabric lead light. If you can imagine a church window when the sun comes through it. Mine is made out of fabric. But each each one that I design represents a different country, so the public who come along are challenged to work out which one is which country?
00:23:25
Speaker 4: So what do you base it on? Their flags or other aspects of like their.
00:23:31
Speaker 17: You would have to have to have a look at some of the photographs, but some of them are cryptic clues. I'll give you one clue, one clue, and the banner for Belgium features pictures of a man in a bowler hat, with an apple of his face. And anyone who is an artist who understands art will realize that that was that's the key signature of a Belgian artist. I won't tell you anymore.
00:24:01
Speaker 1: A great thing. That's fantastic.
00:24:03
Speaker 4: And it's a competition, Linda, So are you in the running for a medal or trophy?
00:24:09
Speaker 17: Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be lovely?
00:24:11
Speaker 7: Now?
00:24:12
Speaker 17: It is actually a festival of ten days that has encompassed one specific field of kite flying, that is the two string sport kite or the four string quadline kite, and that competitions are held from ten o'clock each day until six pm. Different levels of competitions that've got to do certain maneuvers. Each country is well, each country there are eleven, I believe eleven countries represented teams of eighty people. Eighty kite flyers are doing their thing on the main field, whereas we are on the side fields, talking with the public, helping them with the kites that they've bought, just enjoying the sunshine and just loving speaking a bit of French.
00:24:58
Speaker 1: Beautiful.
00:25:00
Speaker 4: Well, look it sounds like you're having a wonderful time. What a great thing to be part of Linda Sanders there with husband Kine, all the way from Wallanga over there in Berkville, Mayor.
00:25:10
Speaker 1: What a beautiful place to be, What a nice way to be pursuing a hobby that turned into a passion. Superb. Good on your Linda. Let's say to the weather Bureau, Oshula Connor is on Judy Ushley, good morning to you.
00:25:22
Speaker 19: Good morning.
00:25:23
Speaker 1: Now the weekend? What lay ahead for us?
00:25:28
Speaker 20: Well, for today, we'll have I'm mostly say they've got this high clouds that are moving over the state, over so the area at the moment, but we will see a favit of sunshine peeping through as we move through the rest of the day. Headed for a top of twenty seven in Adelaide today. And as for the weekend, we should start the weekend in a pretty similar fashion, just these northerly winds, a little bit of high cloud around ahead of a cold front which is approaching the Adelaide area tomorrow, So we will start to see that cloud building sort of through tomorrow afternoon and evening, and then expecting that front to cross through the Adelaide area overnight tomorrow night, So possitively seeing some showers developing sort of pretty close to midnight through Adelaide tomorrow, even the chance of a thunderstorm through the area in the early hours of Sunday morning, and then that all clears out pretty quickly on Sunday, but we do see some cooler air coming through behind it, so we go from a top of twenty eight tomorrow down to twenty one on Sunday. But then as we move into the new week, we'll see those temperatures warming up and those dry, sunny conditions returning.
00:26:40

Police further believe the same man was involved in an assault abd not earlier, where another man was punched in the face just walking along Guja Street. The thirty eight year olds Lords bay Man was charged with two counts of aggurated assault, reaching an intervention order and on another count of assault. Police refuse his bill and he'll be appearing at the Adelaide Magistrate's Court later today. Now, at that time of night, there's lots of people in the city and the police would really like to hear from anyone who captured the incidents or any of those incidents in mobile phone vision and we can help us prosecute.
00:29:02
Speaker 4: This month seven thirty on a Thursday night, goodr streets like Grand Central Station, there's people everywhere. There's people out on the foot paths, particularly this hot weather, so there should be plenty of people who are out there dining. Our Fresco are having a beer outside the towert or something like that. So yeah, there's been too much of that carry on in good Your Street lately. I go there once a month with my mates and we've seen some real rat baggery as we've been having a few quiet ones and eating at dinner. Thanks for that, Matt Seenior Constable Matt Hale from Sapole.
00:29:34
Speaker 2: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:29:39
Speaker 3: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
00:29:42
Speaker 5: Deep in pen berthe and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:29:46
Speaker 1: Six minutes to seven Michael Paki after the seven o'clock news will recap the last week in federal politics. It is Anzac Day eve and for the meat tray this morning, we're giving you the opportunity to call in and shout out a loved one, a family member who served, be it recent or in the distant past. Where they were, wherever they served, whatever they did, tell us how proud you are of them and what they did, and it could win you a meet Trey on five to blow breakfast this morning, let's say to the brassa Yvonne, good morning, Yes.
00:30:14
Speaker 19: Good morning. I'd like to pay my respects to a gentleman iron nursed going back into the early seventies, who was it Gallipoli? And he told me that he can vividly remembered being on a little boat and jumping into the water and making a run for it, and he said the soldier who was his best friend, he was shot as no sooner they got out the boat and he I can remember. He was a footballer who used to play for West Adelaide and his name's Jim Strugnall.
00:30:52
Speaker 1: That's lovely, Yvonne, thank you. There's somebody really was actually really it must be very emotional going to Gyllipoli. The seven last Night had a story of people that had gone and were standing out of the beach, and lots had family members who weren't as lucky as Jim, who didn't even make it onto the beach. Their last recorded moment was on the boat. They were killed before they even got to set foot there. And to a person, everyone's crying on the beach. It just was just standing with their feet just slightly in that water. And those that same beach, those same rocks on the sea floor surface. It's a remarkable saying, I wonderful we got any listeners that have made the pilgrimage to Gallipoli to give them a sense of me that was written by a there.
00:31:37
Speaker 4: Yes, the fact that just the geography of it it must be quite haunting.
00:31:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was just it was quite moving. Will take some more stories in just a moment, but first it's time to jump in the time machine.
00:31:53
Speaker 3: It's time to flashback with Michael Smith.
00:31:56
Speaker 1: Michael Smith's Flashback seven US at six o'clock on nights.
00:32:00
Speaker 11: Mon I you, Michael, Good morning, Will and David. I'd like to start this morning with a challenge for both of you. Now, in the old days you might have won a World Series Cricket poster or got a free coke, but this morning it's just for fame and glory. Can either of you, in under four seconds tell me what the ingredients are of a big match?
00:32:18
Speaker 1: Well, David wins to.
00:32:19
Speaker 4: All beset patty special sauce, whettus, cheese, onion, pickles on a session we see bum winner.
00:32:25
Speaker 11: Well done, David. Isn't that incredible that a marketing campaign like that has lasted?
00:32:32
Speaker 1: It is amazing.
00:32:33
Speaker 4: It's like I'm fifty six years old when did the ed come out.
00:32:37
Speaker 11: Oh, I think they started that in the seventies, but it's had a few different iterations over the generations. Really really clever marketing. On flashback this week we're looking at the arrival and rise of fast food change in Adelaide. Interestingly, Macas was the last major one to get here, the first stoor opening in nineteen seventy seven. It's still there on Main North Road at Enfield. Colonel Sanders, by contrast, had been here, said it's nineteen sixty nine. He opened his first store, now demolished, on Greenhill Road at Dubwitch. And I found a great film actually of the Colonel visiting Adelaide in nineteen seventy six, and he's offered some chicken from an Adelaide chef. No secret herbs and spices, but I'm pleased to say the Colonel was suitably impressed by what was on offer in Adelaide. Hungary Jacks is the really interesting one, the first store opening of Everett Park near Locorne. You there on Anazac Highway, but you don't know why it's called Hungary Jack's here and not Burger King, even though it's pretty much a carbon copy of the American chain.
00:33:35
Speaker 4: Well, isn't it sort of named after the guy who started in Australia, Jack Cown.
00:33:40
Speaker 11: Interestingly, his name was Jack Cow and it's actually named after a plancake mix. That's a longer story, but the short version is there was an Adelaide entrepreneur called Don Durvan who already had a chain of burger stools called burger King in Australia.
00:33:53
Speaker 1: In fact, the first.
00:33:54
Speaker 11: One was on Anzac Highway at Everard Park, so when Burger King America wanted to open up here, he had the naming rights, hence Hungry Jacks. One of the really interesting things about all of them looking back is how fast food was marketed to South Australians. And the one thing all the chains had in common was the use of jingles. See how many of these you can remember?
00:34:22
Speaker 3: And get that jack, get.
00:34:26
Speaker 14: That men in and then relates.
00:34:37
Speaker 22: For one night, stempen for a night, You're welcome, Come on into the pizza hut and get any dessert for just twenty cents.
00:34:52
Speaker 11: Twenty cents off that at a cost of blifting. Christ this is it, and of course everything is so many South I was he kids got their first jobs as teenagers at a fast food join. I was a macas kid back in the eighties, so lots of nostalgia to look back on on Sunday night.
00:35:06
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and if only they can bring back the Jumbo as well. While we're talking about all of this, Michael Great flashback mate Michael Smith for seven years.
00:35:19
Speaker 2: Knockdown Bill two with Metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:35:25
Speaker 3: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:35:27
Speaker 5: Dvid Penberthy and Will Goodings five Double A Breakfast.
00:35:33
Speaker 1: Seven after seven, Good morning to you and welcome to Friday on five Double A Breakfast, twenty fourth of April. The date is significant because it's Anzac Day eve ol our show before Anzac Day. And what we thought we'd do this morning is we'll get to know each other and our family is all a little bit better and in the process celebrate those that have served our country the Metro thanks to the great two people at Chanella's sixty two Prospect Road Prospect and the all task is simple. If there's a family member that you're particularly proud of, someone you'd like to share a little bit about their story who served tell us about the conflict, tell us about their relationship to You've you've got a story that goes with it all the better. But we've absolutely loved this first hour of callers, and we really appreciate everyone who's called in.
00:36:13
Speaker 4: Had some great calls, great stories so far. A lot of texts coming through. Wendy rang about her uncle Clive and also her son who served in each team or and also in Iraq, John rang about his uncle George. We're getting text through like this one from Keith in Findon, which includes some wonderful photographs. Keith writes, my granddad George proudly mounted his service medals and there's also a couple of picks here many memories he shared flying Lancasters during World War II. Thanks for that, Keith, and this is nice. Hopefully they were local kids. Someone who sent her a picture of that wonderful new war memorial in all Dinger. The war memorial itself isn't new, but the location is and they've set it out nice open space there, just next to the football oval and the new high school. And someone who's placed some rocks at the base of the memorial that have all been painted with the words thank you on them.
00:37:16
Speaker 1: It's lovely that's fantastic. I encourage everyone as well if this conversation triggers any memories or in curiosity for you to explore more about your own family. The digital records that are on off and how are unbelievable. You go to the Australian War Memorial site and you'll be able to find stuff about the unit your family members served in, maybe something about their story, some official documents. There is a trove of things, pictures. I found pictures of enlistment and the official paperwork of family members when they signed up for the First World War and so forth. It's unbelievable. It's actually pretty easy to navigate. So if there's any of this conversation triggers curiosity, I encourage you go to the War Memorial website. That's a good place to stay up. But there's a Trive information online as well. Hey, a little bit later today it is Foody Friday time. Stacy Lee will be joined by Chris Charmer from Jarmer's Kitchen for Foody Friday after three pm. Building a renovating. Your first choice should be visiting the speak show him at Debnly Distributors. Taste the difference with Smeg and powers. He's a wonderful guy. Chris Jarmer. We love him, We talk about his restaurants a lot, but our thoughts are with him as well at the moment with the shocking loss of his nephew. Story just heartbreaking. Is absolute tragedy, traveling in Europe and contract him in Jacockle four hours after he got symptoms he was he passed away. So our thoughts are with the whole Jarmer family. All right, let's head to Canberra and recap what has been a big week in federal politics. Michael Packi is the national political editor for nine Radio. Pack Good morning to.
00:38:46
Speaker 18: You, Good morning boys.
00:38:47
Speaker 23: How are you?
00:38:48
Speaker 1: We're good, Thank you. Pack.
00:38:49
Speaker 4: This war drags on and on and on, and every day you wake up and it's the straits are open, the straits are closed, the ceasefires on, the ceasefires going to be off. It's hard to keep back of it all, isn't it.
00:39:01
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, look absolutely, And I think it's been pretty hard just an extent for the government as well, in the sense that for us in Australia it's been all about fuel and these fuel supplies and petrol supplies, diesel supplies, jet fuel supplies, I think the government is done okay, actually pretty well in trying to secure the amount of supplies that we have, given the level of challenges that we face. As you mentioned, one minute the straight is open, next minute it's closed, and it's affecting these oil shipments. What I think is interesting what the Prime Minister said yesterday is that we're now not only getting oil supplies from our traditional partners in Asia, but it's expanded. We're now starting to bring more oil in from the US, Argentina and Olgeria. These are countries where we would just get a very very small fraction of fuel, and now we're starting to in some cases even double the amount of fuel that's coming in from those countries. The government says that in terms of petrol, there's about forty six days in reserve, thirty days or so of diesel. But I did notice that Peter malanowskis your Premiere, yesterday, when he was asked about this, he said that it was good that these supplies were coming in, but he, along with a few of the other premiers, are a bit worrying about future fuel supplies, especially around that period in June or middle of June, because I reckon that we've got enough until about May and the start of June. But what happens after that? Given the uncertainty of what we hear every day.
00:40:36
Speaker 4: It's been a massive wake up call, hasn't it pack And obviously, you know, people like Chris Bowen have been the focus of a lot of criticism this week with his sort of weird comments about how fossil hills aren't really the bill and end all and that what's happening in the Middle East has got nothing to do with that. At the same time that the PM's been running around Southeast Age you're trying to get them. But yeah, not being overly partisan about at it, because you know, we had liberal governments that didn't pay any attention to the fuel reserves issue after it was a policy by Bill Shorten that he took to an election, but then it just fell off the collective national radar, didn't it.
00:41:20
Speaker 18: Absolutely? And I mean Angus Taylor, the current Opposition leader, who was the Energy Minister when the coalition.
00:41:27
Speaker 24: Was in government.
00:41:28
Speaker 18: He was trying to make some changes around this by trying to keep a few oil refineries open. And now we've got these two oil refineries, of which one has been badly damaged and that's going to cause some problems for months to come. What I do think is interesting is that just going back a bit on the oil refinery, the Viva oil refinery in Gaelong, I think the government is saying that day Viva and the Amphole refinery won't be getting any further government subsidies to refine diesel, which I actually thought was quite interesting given that we've only got these two refineries and we've got these challenges in getting this fuel through. But you're right, both sides of politics are to blame for what is happening now through the closing of the refineries, mainly and also not having a lot of enough of this stockpile. Yes, we've got the forty six days now, remember that, which is a good thing. But remember that the recommendation is ninety days, notty, not even forty six, So we've still got a fair way to go to get just that fuel in reserve. Government is saying, well, if we do get the ninety days in reserve, that may be well and good, but it is going to cost about twenty billion dollars to make sure that we can keep that fuel in reserve and you've got a budget that's constrained.
00:42:45
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, have a great weekend.
00:42:48
Speaker 4: Pack Thanks for that. Michael Packy, the national political editor for nine Radio fourteen after seven. It's takes some metre Friday entries that David has called it. David's the family. Maybe you'd like to give a shout out to you this morning.
00:42:59
Speaker 25: Yeah, good morning. I'll look at some behalf of my wife. So her family history extends far and wide with military service. But her grandfather was in the Port of Darwin playing two up when it got bombed. He survived, but he spoke about it very little. Her great great grandfather was a bit of a scully wag in World War Two and he kept on going a wall and eventually married his British wife. But her great uncles is probably so. There was Thomas Clarence, Lawrence John and Wilfrid Eglinton and they were brought from Broughton, Mandura and unfortunately one of those only one of the brothers, Thomas, was married. And unfortunately three of those brothers were killed in action. One of them was maimed and came home to live a pretty miserable life. And what we understand and what we researched and and John was discharged to come home and and look after the family farm. So it was quite a tragedy, all too familiar for a movie, I guess. But yeah, but seldom we've spoken about, but we always think about it, definitely.
00:44:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, during during of course.
00:44:16
Speaker 25: Makes a very humbling to think. We sort of get up and go to work every day and do what we do, but these people have put there it lies and on the line tragedy.
00:44:28
Speaker 1: It's full on.
00:44:29
Speaker 4: That's an amazing story of David. It's like saving Private Ryan, Isn't it quite literally the same storyline, isn't it?
00:44:35
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean you think of some of the statistics in conflict. World War One stands out of it because it's fantastic. Yeah, to film the first fifteen minutes is it's an appropriately hard watch for something that deigns to be an accurate reflection of how awful war is. Yes.
00:44:53
Speaker 4: I think the scene too where they're in that French town waiting for the Nazis to come through in their tanks. Yes, and there and they're listening to it's like an Edith pr type. So I'm sitting all my French bistro chairs. Yeah, And then you hear that. Just imagine hearing the sound of those tanks. Yeah, it's just as like a demonic sound, isn't it.
00:45:10
Speaker 1: It's just awful. Let's say to craig Burn Farm, Damien, good morning.
00:45:13
Speaker 26: Gooday guys. I'd just like to recognize my father's service. He was in the Australian Navy through and our years through World War Two. He happened to be at the surrender of Kowloon by the Japanese part of frittilla of Allied forces that entered Hong Kong Harbor, and you know, unfortunately it was witnessed to atrocities that occurred there, but also my father's great great uncle who went to Calipoli and like you described, you never made it out of the boat. And in the after war there was investigations by the military about the last witness to see people that had fallen. And yeah, the way in which the guide describes in the dead night the whistle blue, they jumped out of the boat and he was never seen again.
00:46:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's harrowing, isn't it.
00:46:18
Speaker 1: Thank you, David. The statistics we've heard, but they hard to wrap your head around, especially World War One. So one percent of the Australian population perished in the First World War, sixty thousand people, or more than of a population at the time, it was just une to five million people. That's one of every hundred people walking around Adelaide just gone to the war, but one in more than one every ten men enlisted. Yeah, it was five hundred thousand people enlisted. Just staggering, incredible. It led to that remarkable exchange between Prime Minister Billy Hughes at the time at the Treaty of Versailles at the end of the First World War where the US President at the time, they were trying to work out what would become of the German colonies, and Billy Hughes had a really strong view about Papua New Guinea, which had been what's now Papua New Guinea but had been a German colony, that it should be come to Australia. The view at the time among the other allies was that it should go to Japan, which really would have changed the complexion of World War II from an Australian perspective. Billy Hughes said, Billy Hughes said, this is ridiculous, and at the time the US President said to him. Woodrow Wilson said to him, sorry, I think it's a bit inappropriate, you piping up from this tiny little country. Well, how many people are you actually speaking for? And Billy Hughes is one of those famous quotes in Australian history, said, I speak for sixty thousand dead for how many do you speak? Because Australian lost more people in the First World War than the United States, and the sum of that exchange, Papunau Guinea would become an Australian colony. You know, the scene of some very famous battles in the Second World War, of course, none more famous than Kakoda. And yeah, imagine if it had been a Japanese colony, It's incredible. It would have looked very, very different. I didn't know that line. It's a great line. It's a great line. Yeah, one are the great lines in Australian political history. The other thing we wanted to do this morning, and amongst hearing your wonderful stories and tributes to your family members, is hear from some other notable Australians and often guests to our program about Anzac Day. And indeed are the many and varied ways in which it has inspired them, and they've contributed to Australia's proud history as well. Starting with a somewhat regular guest of ours and a name I'm sure you'll recognize, and if you don't recognize the name, you'll certainly recognize the song. This answer day, we remember the service.
00:48:53
Speaker 16: I shall not weary them you are, the years condemn, the sacrifice, the going down on the sun and in the morning, and.
00:49:01
Speaker 5: The personal histories that continue to shape our families.
00:49:05
Speaker 3: We will remember that this is our Anzech story.
00:49:10
Speaker 27: I'm John Schumann and I'm very proud to be the singer songwriter responsible for I was only nineteen.
00:49:17
Speaker 28: I was only nineteen.
00:49:20
Speaker 1: Well I wrote it.
00:49:21
Speaker 27: I had no idea that it was going to weave itself into.
00:49:26
Speaker 1: Our cultural and historical fabric. Very proud of that.
00:49:29
Speaker 27: I've always thought that Australians are a fair and decent mod There was some underlying, unspoken anxiety and guilt that we hadn't done the right thing by our Vietnam veterans. The story gave us all the chance to look over the fence into the backyard of the Vietnam veteran and it was like an I get it, min it there is something quintessentially Australian about how we go about things. You know, we go about it with honor and respect and compassion, with courage.
00:49:56
Speaker 28: But the other thing that I have learned is that when Australians are in a combat situation, when they are fighting for their lives, they're not fighting for the government. They're fighting for their mates.
00:50:10
Speaker 1: Honoring the past through the voices of the present.
00:50:14
Speaker 2: Lest we forget, knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:50:22
Speaker 3: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:50:25
Speaker 5: David ben Burthy and Will Goodies five Double A Breakfast, Scrap Podcast steps Tim ginevah on five Double A Breakfast, g.
00:50:43
Speaker 1: Big Weekend and Footy Your Head. It all started last night and of course with the headliner of Anzac Day tomorrow. Lots to talk about Timmy g Joy just wanting you Tim, Oh.
00:50:52
Speaker 29: Good morning gentlemen. Yeah jeez, it's just that timing year every time it comes along your sort of gripture, There's no doubt about that. Having done quite a few things that I went to Villa's Brettanu, which is a French town that the Australians they love the Aussies. And I went there because I did a little couple of days in the Simon. I got to say, I couldn't say that it was an amazing experience. It was just so so leveling and just brought me just into a different world. And you know, there's this little school in Villa's, Brittany that have a sign up in there. They have the Australian arms on their on the front of their building and they celebrate Anzac Day every year and they actually have a sign up there saying, let us never forget Australia. It's just amazing stuff. And yeah, I heard your numbers there will about World War One. That was just and that's what is so sobering about it. You go and read these signs and these stories of all these different people, and this old fellow has written this thing and he lost his brother and he comes back every year while he was alive to visit the site of where he lost his brother, and he writes this story and he goes and what was it all about. It was a bloody waste of life and it was all over a family row. It just unbelievable, just brought it back to reality.
00:52:24
Speaker 1: It's like, Wow, he's spot on.
00:52:26
Speaker 29: You know, it was such a waste of life, wicked And I love that bit you just had on with John Schumann, a terrific bloke.
00:52:34
Speaker 1: Johnny.
00:52:34
Speaker 29: I've been able to spend a bit of time with him. But last year I went to Vietnam and went and visited the tunnels and we had this driver who was I couldn't speak English, but we did it through the Google Translate, and he kept giving me the phone to read it. And he said, my father helped the Americans during the Vietnam War. And he said, and the Americans when it was they were about to evacuate, said listen, you better come with us, because they won't let you survive. And he said, well, I'd like to sort of bring my family, and I said there's no time. And so they took his father and his mother had to raise him and his five siblings on her own because they would have they would have murdered him. And he said that because of that, and they knew that he worked for the Americans, their family for three generations are not allowed to hold a job other than labor.
00:53:38
Speaker 1: Really, wow, that's amazing.
00:53:40
Speaker 29: To this day, and it's still going down to his son, so his son will only be alloble to do a labor job.
00:53:49
Speaker 4: You said the tunnels. Was that those Chwo cheese channels to the Kong tunnels?
00:53:53
Speaker 29: Yeah, and the well I attempted and he said no, wisely, I think, because it just gets thinner and darker and all the rest of it. But the network that was underneath there was incredible. It went all to all the way to Sigone, which is this would be like being at Victor Harbor to Adelaide, and the tunnels went all the way underneath all the way through to Sigon, which has ed him in now just as staggering inside. And he actually took me to an Australian War memorial if you like, for to celebrate the Aussies. But he said that it's it's there, but it's it's looked after every day, it's cleaned, but it is not allowed to have any signage.
00:54:44
Speaker 1: Wow, amazing incredible stories.
00:54:48
Speaker 29: I think when you play football it puts all of that into perspective. And I think this weekend, when we've we've got all these rounds of football, you sort of again it just brings you back to you know, what's really important and that is celebrating your family and hopefully enjoying a pine or pasty at the footy.
00:55:06
Speaker 1: Correct. If there's ever a day, Tim, we're going to get you on a not talk sport. This is the right day for it. Good on you, Tim, Thank you story, appreciated him getting some lovely text through and some terrific stories on the open line as well. Keep your calls coming in. We're going to get to some more on the other side of five double.
00:55:22
Speaker 2: News knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:55:31
Speaker 5: Deep in pen berthe and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast.
00:55:40
Speaker 1: Nineteen minutes too. Eight. If you're joining us for the first time on this Friday morning, well we've got to meet try. I think this might be the most democratic meatro I've ever had, in the sense that I suspect just about everyone listening can participate, because.
00:55:52
Speaker 4: I also think that it's actually almost impossible to judge.
00:55:56
Speaker 1: There is no judgment here. We're going to pick someone against the met Yeah, yeah, with the Betroit thanks to Sina, So you know it's going to be great. We've received so many wonderful messages over the course of the morning. People appreciate hearing the stories, and so do we. Frankly, we love hearing from our listeners, giving you our other listeners and insight into their family, their family members who have served a little bit about their story. We're getting to know a lot of people and a lot of wonderful South Australians over the course of the morning. Let's say to Glenelg North, Helen has called it good morning, do you Helen?
00:56:28
Speaker 23: Good morning?
00:56:30
Speaker 16: My father and his brother were part of the Rats of Tabrook, second forty eight Infantry and yeah, that was in the Second World Well, I just wanted to read you out a little poem if I could, very briefly. My granddaughter who was ten years old, she wrote this last year on Remembrance Day. I think they had a service at school, but this is what she wrote, remembering iridescent poppies bloom with the roses lining in the branches, a field of grass and one of war songs, so sad but of peace. Once more, countries they clash and people they fall. We love those who left lost, but never forgotten. Bodies lay heavy before it begins, for it is a war and no one ever wins. Lest we forget.
00:57:29
Speaker 4: It's beautiful, Helen, It's for.
00:57:32
Speaker 16: Ten years old. It's unbelievable, isn't it.
00:57:34
Speaker 4: It's incredible where it's a wonderful, wonderful poem.
00:57:37
Speaker 16: It is beautiful. Yes, I just wanted to share that because it was so lovely.
00:57:42
Speaker 1: Thank you for that, Ellen, It is great work, wonderful. And to the Rats of de Brook, I mean, I think people know them by name, but talk about an undertaught element of Australian war history. We know Gallipoli, we know the tragedy and the senselessness of it. The Rats of the Brook story is a story of Australian excellence and exceptionalism. These guys went to Brook, they took it from the Italians. Then they hurled it against Rommel's Germans that had never lost a battle on land until that point. So this is North Africa. This is North Africa. This is on the German tank warfare right, that's right on the Mediterranean. These guys dug into sand that was hard. You picture digging into in the First World War when you're digging into Western Europe and it's muddy and sloppy. This was desert sand. It wasn't designed to be building trenches and things. And these guys helped this city where for large periods their ships were cut off because it's the Mediterranean, it was hotly contest of the time. These guys held it. And then these same guys, when the Africa campaign was over, went to New Guinea and fought the Japanese there. And the legend of the Rats of de Brook and Leslie Moore said is they gave the Germans their first defeat on land in North Africa and the Japanese their first defeat in Asia when they tried to head south towards Port Moresby. That story and Leslie Morse head, I think it should be required reading for everyone growing up in Australia. And this is one of the reasons why I'm really passionate about the Second World War, and not to discredit the First is that these guys were this is the first generation of guys that were both born in Australia that then rose up to become the guys who commanded Australians. The First World was all the Brits and there was still a bit of that, and certainly in the navy and things in the Second World War, but a lot of these guys were the first time it was Australian soldiers led by Australians.
00:59:30
Speaker 4: And it was a sense of like, we weren't doing it for the Empire, that's right.
00:59:34
Speaker 1: There was a sense of autonomy about it as well. We were there under our own guidance. So thank you for that story, Helen. That was spectacular.
00:59:42
Speaker 4: Resident name, isn't it. Just looking on Google Maps to brook obviously in Libya, which was an Italian colony, colony, Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and they had some Baliland, they had Abersinia.
00:59:54
Speaker 1: Well, the war in Ethiopia that sort of kicked things off. But then the British colonies were like Egypt and ark and that sort of area, so they butted up against one now.
01:00:02
Speaker 4: But just looking to Brook Avenue Saint Mary's to Brook Avenue, Kilburn, to brook Bridge in Penfield Gardens, to Brook Drive, Salisbury Heights, that name resonates for a reason.
01:00:13
Speaker 1: It does, all right. Let's said to Peter havehook the RSL President in Onley because there's a really wonderful local story that's developed over the course of this week with regard to some lost medals that were seen found in an op shop and have they have been reunited with the family of the person who won them. Peter, good morning to you, Thanks for your time. So tell us when you became involved in this story and a little bit about the family at the center of it.
01:00:39
Speaker 30: Sure, it was about mid last year. We got an email completely out of the blue from an op shop in Melbourne and we had no connection to them. This gentleman, his name is Jason Silverstein, lovely Boke, had been trying to he had fend these medals donated to them and been trying to find someone to help him find the family gone the war memorial, several arslves on the East Coast and just complete roadblocks or people weren't getting back to him. So he had researched this guy. As you might know, on the edge of each rim of the medal is the person's name, the recipient's name, and a service number so you can look them up, and found mail from Adelaide somehow found out a little sub branch and sent me an email. So we decided we're trying to help him.
01:01:22
Speaker 1: Now that sounds that my my. I've been watching the story on seven last night. Peter. It was the Distinguished Flying Medal was the one? Was that the one that allowed you to track it to the family.
01:01:33
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:01:34
Speaker 30: Fortunately all medals have the gentleman's service number on the service number their name, so that helps. But being a recipient of a rare metal like the Distinguished Flying Medal does make it a bit easier. So yeah, it's significant metal to have received. When when someone's ex military sees a group but that I set of seven medals, you instantly realize this person's had a significant career and a long career, so you know that you know makes the research.
01:01:58
Speaker 21: Of the Verdesia.
01:02:00
Speaker 4: It's an extraordinary, extraordinary story.
01:02:03
Speaker 1: Peter.
01:02:07
Speaker 30: What we were able to find out was they belonged to Ken Peters. He grew up in millicent enlisted in World War Two. I think by way of Peterborough was looking up on the railways that three family in Edwardstown became an air crew. He goes on to serve. He was shared with the Wrath Bomber Command in England. So I heard just some of you speaking about OSSI's commanding o HES in World War Two. I think it was commonplace in World War II to send some of our ro Austrail Air Force guys over that way. He's flying in the back of a Sterling bomber, a heavy bomber and doing raids in nineteen forty three over Berlin, no less, occupy Germany. We've got a transcript of what he said about that night. We're going to share our dawn service, and it's just truly amazing. But he was effectively hanging out the back of a bomber and message Smith's flying at him within four hundred meters trying to shoot them, and they lost some of their own guns, tower guns, and he was able to take down those planes And is the first tund account of what he told about that night. But from that action he was awarded the Distinguished Flane Manner.
01:03:18
Speaker 4: For listeners in the only area, Peter, whereabouts is the dawn service tomorrow?
01:03:24
Speaker 30: Yeah, we're at the only Soldiers' Memorial Gardens two hundred and six only road, according to Will started at five thirty five am. We always get a pretty good response. We expect four or five thousand people to turn up. Really great community.
01:03:38
Speaker 4: It's a wonderful part. It's a wonderful garden there and might I understand you're also going to be part of the Anzac commemoration before the Stert Glenell game and only two. Yeah we are.
01:03:51
Speaker 30: Yeah, we've actually got three football games to host that day, the Sturt game at two o'clock and encourage your listeners to come and join us. We'll also be helping good Wood Saints div wine women's mats and the Grannga Rams did one men's mats two o'clock as well.
01:04:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:04:07
Speaker 4: I think it's great the way sport becomes a vehicle for making everybody stop and think. No bigger example of that than the Essenon Collingwood game at the MCG. But it's great that that local grassroots footy is doing. It's a bit as well. Thanks for joining us, Peter, Peter have a hot the only RSL president.
01:04:25
Speaker 1: All right, let's take another story. Let's go to mitcham Jill, good morning.
01:04:29
Speaker 19: Good morning.
01:04:30
Speaker 31: Yes, a friend of mine just told me to ring through because my father flew Lancasters. I just listened to that really interesting story. He was in bomba command as well, flew over to two O seven Squadron and did thirty two missions over Germany and his first trip thirty Yeah here, I know, people say to me, Gifore, of course you live because I'm my life and he's a bomb aimer trained and from from Adelaide flew and tiger moster train, went by Sydney and to New York to Edmonton to train in Edmonton in Canada, and posted over to England and he end up in the Australia. Left on his squadrons all died, but he flew quite a few missions and the second to last mission when he was flying the plane was very badly shot up, and being a boy, he had the front guns and in his logbook which we still have, he shot down three German planes and had to land there with no wheels and on the grass with thousand pounds bombs still attached as to the.
01:05:32
Speaker 21: Plane.
01:05:33
Speaker 31: But the worst thing that people don't realize, he came back in February forty five, just before bore finished because he was tour was up. And when they landed Sydney, a guy called Peter Reese wrote a book about Lanecaster men, and I always knew the story that he was treated really badly. When they came back, they had big placards at Sydney Harbors saying Ireland Dodgers sitting in England having cups of Tea and they threw all this gear in the city harbor. He had to hitchhipe back to Adelaide and the RSL would not let him into the RSL because he had the distinguished the emblem of the English, you know, flying in England bomber Command, and a lot of the futhers wouldn't accept them in. And Peterbreeths wrote the story so people don't realize that they were treated quite badly. And when he came back to Adelaide, we lived at Claire and leased the march, and when we came to Adelaide to live, the RSL would not let him march because he was in an English squadron and not an Australian squadron, and he said you don't belongder in his squadron. So I had to sit on my dad's shoulders and watch the Anzac mag make march. The worst thing is in up getting ms when I was a child. Ended up being quadriplegic in the Julia Far Center for fifteen years. And eventually, you know, they said you want to go in the bus and have a look at their march. We said, not too late now. But just those little stories that people don't realize how they were treated badly. And you always knew how the Vietnam bets were treated when came back because he had the same story. It's very unknown about that, but the guy called Peter Rooster write the book. But Midlight in England, you know, on the terrorit Simms Squadron and went over there in twenty ten and managed to go to the Kirkby.
01:07:15
Speaker 23: Museum.
01:07:16
Speaker 31: They've got the Just Jane Lancaster there and they take it out on the car match and they had the engines roaring.
01:07:22
Speaker 23: Was incredible.
01:07:23
Speaker 31: Then they can do a tour on the plane and I can't believe how small it is in there. He's loved the little bubble.
01:07:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, with how many people that on board.
01:07:30
Speaker 7: Yeah.
01:07:31
Speaker 31: I went down to the rear gunner, thinking how did they ever survive down there? But his crew basically the same crew nearly all the way through, and his pilot was a DFC, so I think they were quite lucky. But just going through over the big huge crossbar. You know, I'm not very big and I've found it really really tight in there. And when they had the engines going.
01:07:50
Speaker 23: It was just incredible.
01:07:52
Speaker 1: All those planes, what experienced Jill, that was terrific. Wow, thank you for that. We appreciate it, did Jill in Mitchell, Steve and Tony have stories of family members as well they'd like to share. We're going to hear from them right after.
01:08:04
Speaker 2: The break knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro homes.
01:08:11
Speaker 3: They do it all for you.
01:08:13
Speaker 5: Deevid pen Burbe and Will Goodings five double a breakfast, three.
01:08:19
Speaker 1: Minutes to weight. Let's send a broad view Steve the family member you'd like to shout out on this Anzac DAYA you, good morning to you.
01:08:27
Speaker 23: Yeah, good morning David. Will, It's great to talk to you.
01:08:30
Speaker 26: Yeah.
01:08:30
Speaker 23: My dad served in the Royal Australian Navy on a ship repatriating the diggers from the islands in the war, and he sent us homeless poem or sent homeless palm, which I'd love to share with it. It's not a long one, sog, I know you a shorter time.
01:08:45
Speaker 1: No go for it.
01:08:46
Speaker 23: It reads how long before this war will end? And to home shores we once more trend Japs know we're bound for Borneo for we heard them on the radio of these all these We have no doubt. We know they'll put the JAP to route. Some may die in tropic hell, but Digger stands where Digger fell. They'll rest this land from evil foe. So on we sail to Borneo. And as I think of home and wife, all our plans for future life, I cursed this rotten scrounge scouts called war. But I know what I'm fighting for.
01:09:32
Speaker 1: What a wonderful little piece of old man rate that state.
01:09:36
Speaker 23: Yes he did, he was when he came home. He was a man that served a lot for the community. A builder, built a lot of homes around Adelaide. And yeah, he was a wonderful man.
01:09:47
Speaker 4: What a brilliant thing to have.
01:09:48
Speaker 1: That's a great little piece of writing. Doesn't attach to the moment to thank you, Steve. We'll quickly get Tony in two wells in before we go to five double a news morning.
01:09:56
Speaker 8: Tony here going, guys.
01:09:58
Speaker 24: I get nervous about coming on. But my dad did the whole six years of World War Two. He is in the first couple of thousand people to join up in South Australia, from Arthurton down to Adelaide. And it's all he was going on an adventure, I think, but I think quickly worked out that it wasn't an adventure. He did the seven medals, he got posthumorously got one for Greece, which when he was on Crete in about the nineteen seventies, but prior to that he had the six campaigns like Middle East and everywhere. And obviously Crete was a lucky one because they were very lucky to get up with the Creek. And then they finished with New Guinea, which was even though he got malaria six times there or something that was. He was the easiest because they had air support in the last one. And he is a bit of a romantic story, is a bit of American. He used to call him Skeeek because he was little like a mosquito and he romantol. He met my mum in towns with during the war and married her and brought it back to South Australia, and he wrote a poem about when he was on Crete. I could quickly say it if you want, he said. He wrote the poem, and then many years arfter he died, it was published and someone else said they wrote it. So we never got a chance to our dad, but he never gave us any reason that he would ever tell a lie.
01:11:14
Speaker 1: But you know.
01:11:17
Speaker 24: It says on the isle of doom, which was creete. Here I sit on the isle of crete, bludging on my blistered feet. Little wonder I've got the blues with feet and cased in big canoes, khaki shorts instead of slacks, living like a tribe of blacks, except the blacks don't sit and brood and wait throughout the day for food. So it was just a month ago, and that boar we sailed increased to win the war. We moaned and groaned beneath our loads while bombers bombed us off the road. They chased us here, they chased us there. The devils chased us everywhere. And while they'd dropped their loads with death, we cursed the bloody RAF. Yeah, the Orif was there in force. They left a few of home. Of course, we saw a tire force one day when I spit for us that the other way. And then we heard the wireless news when Portley winced and gave his goose to Raf. He said, in Greece are fighting hard to give us peace. And so we scratched our heads and thought, this smells distinctly like a rought, and if in Greece the air force feed, and when where the bloody hell are we? And then at last we met the Harnet odds to thirty three to one, and though he made it pretty hot, we gave the devil all we got. The bullets with the big guns roared, and we howled for ships to get aboard. At length they came, and we got on and hurried from that cursed spot. And then they landed us on crete and masked us off our cursed feet.
01:12:33
Speaker 10: The food was light, the.
01:12:34
Speaker 24: Water crooked, and I get fed up and slung the hook the turn that night full up with wine, and the next day caught the two quick fine. My payoo was behind the hell. When the pay was called, I said, oh, well, when they won't pay me, I'm sure of that. And when they did, I smelled a rat. The next day, when their rations came, I realized they're wily game. So sooner they sit down and die, we'd spend our digs on food supplies. And now it will look like even betting than a man will soon become a cretin and spending his days in blackest Bloom on adult filers is written by one who got away, Tony.
01:13:09
Speaker 1: That was amazing. Thank you.
01:13:13
Speaker 2: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
01:13:18
Speaker 3: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
01:13:21
Speaker 5: David Ben Birdy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:13:26
Speaker 28: There's nothing.
01:13:29
Speaker 1: Eleven minutes after eight an extraordinary morning we've had on five double a breakfast. Handing the meat tray over to you. Our listeners to tell us stories are family members you're proud of who may have served in any theater of warre and which is ever featured Australians. And we've got some wonderful stories.
01:13:44
Speaker 28: You know.
01:13:44
Speaker 1: One thing that is abundantly clear. We've heard three poems this morning. How did poetry get this reputation of being some sort of a fansy, effeminate sort of pursuit the bravest and toughest bikes of all time in this country down and wrote poetry.
01:14:01
Speaker 4: Well, the good thing about poetry and writing is that it's a way of processing things that are often beyond the realm of human comprehension and emotional capacity to absorb things. And World War One brought us people like Wilfred Owen dot de Gorimez yeah, pro patry and maury, how beautiful it is to die for your country, my friend, you will not say with such cruel jest. What is it?
01:14:29
Speaker 1: I can't remember the final part, the startup? What is it?
01:14:32
Speaker 4: Bent double like old beggars, knock kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge. Amazing bit of writing. But yeah, Rupert Brooke the Englishman died during World War One, one of the most celebrated poets.
01:14:49
Speaker 1: But these Sigfried's so soon there's that wonderful celebrated poets. But the thing that I think stood out this morning is well, this just was something that an average Joe teenager did in war once upon a time. It's quite aside from the point, I just don't think that's a way in which people would naturally think to express themselves these days.
01:15:10
Speaker 4: I understund really old here. I sort of wonder whether you know, these days we spend far too much time worrying about how you going with your PowerPoint presentation, as opposed to the year oldie discipline of giving someone a pen and a piece of paper and saying write something, you know, just just write something. And even through to the Spanish Civil War, like all the best writers in the world at the time, you know, some of them on different sides. But that drove so many people because it was a dress rehearsal for World War Two. It was fascism versus a democratically elected government, and you know or well, sure, so many people immerse themselves in that. But yeah, it's different an era where it wasn't seen as oh, you're right in the poem, are your mate?
01:16:03
Speaker 1: Yeah? But how did that happen? But all these families we've had, people are just sat there one day in a trench or in a jungle or on a boat, writing poetry about people from Adelaid, people from South Australia and surrounds. It's been quite extruded wonderful stories.
01:16:18
Speaker 4: You've ever written a book about South the South South Australian war effort, like specifically about s.
01:16:24
Speaker 1: A great question, not one I've read. So you should write it, mate, seriously, sitting here this morning with your military knowledge and love, I would love to do it. You're you're the right. Unfortunately you can write.
01:16:39
Speaker 4: I've read your stuff. We've held breaking it eight over till Monday. We've got a we've got a really good story. We're going to hold until then, mainly because we want to devote the maximum amount of time to covering Anzac Day. And we're getting a lot of really nice feedback from our listeners who you have enjoyed telling and hearing these stories, family stories that are part of our national story ahead of our most important national day. So we've got Brad Flaherdy, the rsl SA President on the line instead now, Brad, good morning, ahead of such an important day. We just felt that, particularly with it being on a Saturday, we wanted to devote the maximum amount of time to covering Anzac Day ahead of all the dawn services tomorrow. I'll tell you there's more than a couple of them too, and it's a terrific thing. I'm sitting here thumbing through a spreadsheet. It looks like there's about one hundred and seventy odd dawn services in suburban and regional South Australia.
01:17:38
Speaker 32: Well that's there, right, We've actually got about one hundred and twenty sub branches rsl sub branches throughout South Australia. So most small regional towns were impacted by World War One World War two, probably in a percentage high than the average in the cities, so you will find a lot of memorials around in the regions and.
01:17:57
Speaker 25: Even the suburbs.
01:17:58
Speaker 32: I suppose coming into the city of our population level was really pretty small in nineteen fourteen, but we had huge amounts of people that volunteered. So it we had four hundred and eight thousand was the population, and thirty five thousand enlisted in World War One and five and a half thousand didn't come back and around fifteen thousand more were injured. So it's got a significant impact on not only the regions, but the city and the culture build of what we became as a country.
01:18:32
Speaker 1: I believe.
01:18:33
Speaker 4: How have the Dawn Services changed over the years, Brad? I mean, as we said, those numbers are heartening, aren't they? That there are still so many branches, so many people will be fronting up tomorrow. But how have you seen this sort of evolution?
01:18:50
Speaker 32: It dropped away in the seventies, I suppose, and started to build probably in the nineties, about ninety eight onwards, when we started to have some pretty sick, significant offeration national tempo for our defense forces. I saw this is only my point of view, and I saw a pretty big increase both in the regions in the city, and people becoming more and more aware of how we become the country that we are because of the operations that we've served in in World War One, World War two and other areas. And it just continues to build that ethos of honor, sacrifice makeshift and now I see family and obviously a reflection on.
01:19:30
Speaker 1: Veterans, what would you say to younger people who've got still medals in the family that would like to march on the day or participate in Anzac Day, but are a little bit unsure because either maybe they're embarrassed because they don't feel, you know, that they they're fit to walk around with their grandparents' medals on, for example, or they're just a little bit unsure about getting involved in how actual veterans would perceive their participation. What would you say to those people more.
01:19:58
Speaker 32: Than welcome feel embarrassed at all when you're wearing your relations or your granddad's medals, wear them on the right side. The official medals for people that have earned themselves is on the left side. But the RSL and our communities, particularly our local government level people, we would welcome anyone and everyone who can come along it doesn't matter if you don't have any medals of your relations to wear. Just come and be a part of a pretty moving sort of ceremony. I suppose it's a commemoration. Particularly the dawn service is very, very moving, and it's an opportunity for our older people to.
01:20:40
Speaker 21: Educate.
01:20:40
Speaker 32: It's not the right word, but I suppose advise and expose our younger people to what we've been through as a country and as a group of people as veterans.
01:20:51
Speaker 4: Brad, do you feel that enough he's done in our schools about teaching the importance of Anzac Day. I know that every year, like clock, our kids come home and say, Hey, Mum and Dad, ats Harmony Day. We need to get the orange clobber to celebrate multiculturalism different events at different points throughout the school year. I mean, I'm not trying to get all cultural wars about it, but does the RSL feel that it is intertwined enough with the school communities to make sure that kids are learning about why tomorrow is so important.
01:21:29
Speaker 32: It's getting better than what it used to be, and I know that through the Virtual War Memorial there's a lot of the educational type programs that are intertwined with the education system. The biggest concern that I've ever come across though, with our educational process is context. A lot of the time, our people that who want to learn and want to be able to teach correctly don't understand the context of the fact, like, for example, the Vietnam War, how Australia was involved. They don't understand that while we work with the Americans, we weren't a part of it a lot of the time, you know, World War two. People don't understand who we foward a lot of the time, and it's just a matter of of honing that awareness. I think, Look, I think it's going in the right direction. I believe that that there's more and more awareness in the educational side of things, and the kids are more where and the processes like the virtual War Memorial that are putting forward opportunities for young people who interact with veterans is just outstanding.
01:22:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:22:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely. Where will you be tomorrow, Brad?
01:22:33
Speaker 1: Everywhere? Yeah, I'm sure.
01:22:36
Speaker 32: So We've got We've got the night visual with us tonight. We've got young people that are going to be guarding the war Memorial on North Terrace from about seven o'clock onwards tonight all night, so there'll be different groups of Air Cadets, Army Cadets and girl guides. Gee I can't remember the groups all of them, but there's but they're doing it one full job coming out there and guarding the war memorial for us. Then we've got a dawn service that will if you get any dawn service anywhere in South Australia, if you hit there about quarter to six, you'll be good. And then we've got the big march at nine point thirty. Then we've got the the remembrance service at the Cross the Sacrifice, and then there's a big footy match later on the afternoon after the ANZAC drinks on the Torrens Parade Ground, so the RAA sponsoring us there and other organizations are sponsoring us there so that we can have a barbecue and a few beers and a bit of two up on the parade ground tomorrow afternoon. I think that's about That would be about lunchtime, I think. And then there's the big footy match with Port Adelaide playing against Geelong where they're honoring us with with the ANZAC appeal and supporting us all the way through there, So.
01:23:54
Speaker 4: It's worth plugging that appeal too because that raises funds for assistance to families, helping people who are struggling with things like PTSD. There's a lot of important real time work where obviously ANZAC Day is often it involves looking back, but it also involves the present day very much, doesn't it.
01:24:19
Speaker 32: It does look the ANZAC appell dot com dot au. If you want to make a donation, you can do that through there or you'll see service people around the place today and definitely tomorrow that we'll see you a badge. Please make sure that you can donate because as you said, it will support veterans in their families and the transition to civilian life. And also we operated an advocacy and a well being an employment to profile for veterans, and any donations to ANZAC a PILL always helps us in those areas. I think one of the key things is that if you've served, if you put the uniform on, we're very proud of what you've done and we.
01:24:55
Speaker 1: Would like to look after you.
01:24:57
Speaker 4: Get on your brad once what we forget. Thanks for coming on Brad Fleery, rsl SA President.

01:30:25
Speaker 4: You should read this text out well, Mike from TURINGI it's long. It's about your account of to Brook earlier. I can do it if you want, Yeah, you want to do it. I get my meat Troy Friday, my feedback Friday questions already, he says, Will and Dave. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to many stories of how OSI's punched so much above their weight when it came to contributing to a war that many felt didn't have much to do with us at all. I feel it important to share a perspective from the other side, one that makes me proud to be an Australian. My non grandfather, that is in Italian, was a lieutenant in the Italian Army. As a child to have many memories of him sharing his stories of fighting in what later became Italian colonies in Eritrea, Somalia, and Libya. I was only nine at the time. I'm now sixty five, but I understood that Italy was no different than many other European countries when it came to expansion as policies, especially with Mussolini's vision of a new Roman Empire. The reality, though, as everyone knows, is Italy didn't improve on their nineteen twenties resources and were stretched very thin, especially in North Africa. My non stories fit with Will's assertion. With supply lines cut, no food, fuel, or armaments, they had no choice other than to surrender, and although never fought against Australians. His stories concurred with what n Nett we now know about to Brook. When as a nine year old I asked him about to Brook, he went very quiet, stating that Italian soldiers had the highest respect for Australians, not only because of what they did there as Fears fighters, but because they were fair and kind hearted to the captured prisoners. It's a conversation I've never forgotten and one I felt well worth sharing today.
01:31:57
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for doing, Mike, really appreciate it. The most of the recorded interactions between the Australian and Italian soldiers backed that up. So they Australians took to Brook initially from the Italians, and then it was Rommel's forces and the Germans that tried to recapture it. Hence that famous story about the first land loss that the Nazi suffered being to the Australians. But there are lots of recorded interactions between Australians and Italians, Italians being totally bemused as to why Australians are in North Africa to begin with, It's worth remembering though there's no natural sorry, just to that point, there was no malice between those two between Australians and Italians that were there by circumstance of the Second World War.
01:32:40
Speaker 4: One of the best books about Vietnam is actually written by a Vietnamese guy called Bao Nin The Sorrow of War. Abought it years ago when I was in Vietnam, and an unbelievably good book, and it's written through the eyes of a Viet Kong soldier who has a full blown nervous breakdown after the war and can't stop thinking about one incident that he witnessed which was too horrible to discuss on air, but it resulted in him killing an American soldier. And then it's actually like a really presciant book because it's about PTSD. It's about this Kong guy who becomes a homeless alcoholic and in his mind he's just replaying all of the events, and it's just that it is the best book.
01:33:22
Speaker 1: Amazing, it's awful. All right, let's do feedback Friday.
01:33:30
Speaker 29: Friday Day feedback.
01:33:35
Speaker 1: Might do a shortened feedback Fridays. We've had so many wonderful text and stories over the course of the morning. For the Meat Trait, Shandeal and Salisbury Planes is up first. Shandel, Good morning.

01:34:01
Speaker 1: Did you see that Russian zoos story earlier in the week where they escaped from the from the display that was going on. That was just terrifying. Yes.
01:34:12
Speaker 4: In Mexico when I was sixteen, the circus came to town and we were sitting in the town square after school having coffee, and the ute went past with.
01:34:20
Speaker 1: A line in the back of it. That's etcetera story. Do you remember your first trip on a train? Chandel? One hundred and seventy years of train travel in Adelaide was celebrated earlier this week.
01:34:32
Speaker 34: I used to catch the old red hens to school. I was made to walk back in my day, walk to the train station and catch those trains to the school. So absolutely a bit a nostalgia there.

Speaker 4: Thanks to Shanella's we're going to give it to Helen from Glen elg North, who read out that lovely poem before talking about the rats of Tbrook as well. But as we said, there are no official winners in the classic sense of the word today because everybody who told a story did a great job and we've really enjoyed doing the show at ay to patribute to all of those people who are no longer with us, who help make our country what it is.
01:39:37
Speaker 1: It's then one week. The top five of the week, all right, Top five moments of the week, Number five.
01:39:43
Speaker 16: Remembering iridescent poppies bloom with the roses lining the branches, a field of grass and one of war songs, so sad but of peace. Once more, countries they clash, and people they fall. We love those who left lost, but never forgotten. Bodies lay heavy before it begins, for it is a war, and no one ever wins. Lest we forget.
01:40:12
Speaker 1: Well, there's Helen with their met tre Friday winning a call and a nice recitation of that piece of poetry as well in the number four spot.
01:40:21
Speaker 4: Could this affect great white sharks?
01:40:23
Speaker 7: I don't know about great white sharks specifically, but a recent study came out from Brazil fourteen sharks with high levels of cocaine in their tissues. So I don't know if there are high enough concentrations to affect behavior, but we are definitely finding cocaine and other pharmaceuticals and drugs in our top order predators.
01:40:41
Speaker 1: Wow. Well that's genuinely terrifying. That was David floating the concept of the cocaine shark live on the air. That turned out to scientifically have some basis fish behavior changing because of cocaine leeching into waterways, smugglers losing some of the of the drug overboard, and yeah, the prospect of the cocaine shark introduced this week. Number three had.
01:41:05
Speaker 8: An interview job interview.
01:41:06
Speaker 36: A few weeks back, I had a shower. I got the times mixed up because the times were in a state, so my phone was ringing and kept ringing. I went out and answered it. I didn't have any jobs on.
01:41:17
Speaker 24: I just answered the.
01:41:18
Speaker 36: Phone and I was reminded of an interview, and I jumped straight onto teams. But I forgot to put the pants on and unfortunately always exposed.
01:41:30
Speaker 1: Job of interview gone wrong. I still one of the more memorable calls we had this week. In the number two spot, we have a fireman's calendar, except ours has been customized because a number of the firemen have my face cut out and put over the top my face on their bodies. We made it myself with the glue sticky and presented it on air live without giving you a permission for the ridicule of hundreds of thousands of people, which, to our living understanding probably constituted a series of breaches.
01:41:59
Speaker 26: There.
01:42:00
Speaker 1: The HR people were not prepared for our real world example. Yeah, we kind of derailed the HR meeting earlier this week when they tried to talk about things that were dos and don'ts in the office, and we realized their fictional example was a real life lived one for us. The number one.
01:42:15
Speaker 30: Spot, the barks got louder and louder.
01:42:18
Speaker 35: His door was a jar behind him. Sure enough, eventually his dogs just burst into the into the room. He had to start apologizing a woman. I can only see it was missus. Elrick entered the room and ped to be wearing some form of pajama sort of when you're there to try and just sort things out. He had to meet the hearing and turn the camera off for a brief moment while he attended to the dogs. Yeah, mister and missus Elrick would it wasn't their best night.
01:42:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't the best week for the AFL FASCAL situation at the Appeals Tribunal, the.
01:42:51
Speaker 4: Latest being last night a prop decided to unilaterally slash the Saint Kilda folks fine for dropping the.
01:42:57
Speaker 1: Effort when they've said, well, you know, things get said out in the football field.
01:43:01
Speaker 4: Okay, Well yeah they do and like it cost Isaac Rankin a spot in the entire finals series.
01:43:06
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Yeah, that'll be consistency at all. That'll be a big talking point on the sports show I suspect. We'll round things out this morning with fuel Watch. It's better to be a member with raa road service. There are some good cheap spots around if you want to fill up with unleaded The Yugo Clear Views the best dollar seventy one point nine.

Speaker 1: Moight have to see. It's good morning. Tell you're welcome to Friday on five double A Breakfast. It is the twenty fourth of April. Tomorrow is Anzac Day and we've got a very Anzac Day show today and we're hoping you can be a big part of it. It is, of course Meat Tray Friday today, the meat provided by Liam Joanna and the team at my Locael Butcher Schanella's sixty two Prospect Road. At Prospect, what we want you to do is something really simple because we have a theory that we want to test, and that is that everyone listening in their family has a veteran. They're proud of someone who has served the country. It might be whatever conflict you're like, World War one two, you know, anything from the Bore Wharf Forward, Frankly, Vietnam, Korea, you name it, Afghanistan, Iraq. If they've served. We'd love to give you the opportunity to shout out just what someone in your family call in and let us know their relationship to you, where they served and when it was and you're in the running for the meat traits as simple as that. We're handing the show today to a celebration of our family members who have served. So you can call in an eight double two to three double O and put yourself in the running to win the meat trade. That is going to be a lot of fun. Over the course of the morning, we'll talk ant that day Footy with Hamish McLaughlin from seven's AFL broadcast. After six thirty, Michael Smith will join us. We'll flash back in time. Timmy g is going to be on the program. We will chat. We're going to talk about this wonderful story that we had on seven last night with regard to a stack of medals that showed up in an op shop that have now been returned to the family from whence they came lost medals stack And it's a really lovely story for Anzac Dave that we'll get into. We'll play Nearest to the Pen. We've got feedback Friday. It should be a terrific morning. David Penberthy in good morning.
00:02:08
Speaker 4: To you, Good morning Will, Good morning listeners. I really love this meat tray Friday topic. I'd be surprised if more than half of our listeners, at least half of our listeners, didn't have family members going back in the day. When you consider that the percentage of men who enlisted for World War One in particular, it was just off the charts. But yeah, I can easily rattle off a few names from our family.
00:02:37
Speaker 1: Technically, I shouldn't count.
00:02:38
Speaker 4: Bill Schmidt because he's not a blood relative, even though he's known as Uncle Bill and always will be. He's our next door neighbor. But he was in Changy, But so too was a great uncle of mine, Purse Matters. Uncle Purse. Uncle Purse was a farmer near Wosley's after the war, as tough as old Marles. We got a phone call that he'd had a bit of an accident and he'd driven himself to the Royal Adelaide. The accident involved getting his left forearm caught in a combine harvester and ripping the bone out, and he just drove his shirt around and he drove from Wosley's to North Terrace.
00:03:18
Speaker 1: That's tough, just different type of tough. Nays Yeah, yeah, that is extraordinary. Uncle Purse God rest your soul. Amazing. Then later on uncle Fred. Uncle Fred served in the in the conference Assi. It's why I asked that chap the other day. He ringing because he served in it too. Between Malaysia and Indonesia in the nineteen fifties, served in Vietnam. He became he was a brigadier. He went right up the tippy top of the Australian military. Wow.
00:03:47
Speaker 4: He coordinated an exercise called Kangaro eighty nine, which was a mock battle held in northern Australia between and a country called the Chimerians. And you know they do those kind of every few years. They do those sorts of events.
00:04:10
Speaker 1: They're huge, massive, people get killed, people have been killed doing them, yeah, previously because they'll use live fire and stuff like that. That's a huge undertaking. It's a massive thing, a massive India.
00:04:22
Speaker 4: You've got to know Kim Beasley quite well, because Kim Beasley was the Defense Minister at the time.
00:04:26
Speaker 1: From memory, it's a couple so my two great grandfathers on Dad's side, so his two grandfathers both served on the Western Front in the First World War, and I've told the story before, much my father's surprise. You can have a grandparent with two legs because they both lost a leg on both sides fighting in the Western Front in the First World War. Interestingly, one of them that his career has a huge ride up. If you go to the Australian War memorial, it's all detailed and the story of how he was extracted and there's all this rich detail of this injured soldier. The other one's nothing. There's you can you can see the injury forms that were filled out, you know, you can see the paperwork, but there's no there's this whole narrative around one of them, which is fascinating. And then my grandfather, which I think sort of sort of spurred my love of all things Navy and things served in the on the on the Quiberon and the Second World War, a little destroyer that was one of the Q class destroyers that we had here. Not that he loved war it or he hated war, but I was just fascinated asking him things growing up about his time serving in the in the Second World War. So what we just did. Is what we want you to do. Folks, call in with your stories of people in your family that have served, and we're going to do this all morning because there's no better day for it than ANZAC. Dave, Wendy and Elizabeth, you were first caller through this morning. Win, Who do you want to talk about?
00:05:48
Speaker 6: Good morning, I've got I've got to actually in my my uncle Clive World War two. He went everywhere as in Powers Star and yeah, very moving. He's a really old fashioned Oh he's passed now, but my goodness, he used to As kids, we had big bonfires that Anley love Stirt, Yeah, just an old digger. He was fantastic. And recently my son he's in his forties now, but he went to Iraq and these team more and just yeah, I was just so proud of both of them, you know I But to have my son go too was very moving and yeah, they never talked about anything and very strong men, both of them. So I'm very proud. And actually my partner and I went to Blipoli last year, not during ANZAC, but I sort of an off season and it was so moving.
00:06:56
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:06:56
Speaker 6: Yeah, It's something I'll always remember and.
00:07:02
Speaker 1: Terrific we get a started. We appreciate it. Thank you. Let's go to apple in. John, Good morning, Good morning.
00:07:09
Speaker 8: I'd like to the latest story regarding my late uncle George Hodgens. He was part of the second fourth Machine Gun Battalion that was sent up to Singapore within days or week or so before Singapore, philm. He traveled initially to Changy and he told me when I was a young lad that Changy was a rest home as compared to his life up the line traveling with h Force. He and other Australians and troops was involved in the the Health five Past Coming, which is the most memorable part of that whole line. He returned to Adelaide and married my Auntie and his best man was Bill Schmidt, which was most interesting given that David, your very fond memories of your uncle Bill. Yes, I have photos of both my uncle George and Bill Schmidt, my mother and her sister at their wedding.
00:08:32
Speaker 1: John.
00:08:33
Speaker 8: One other that I find most poignant was that Uncle George lived Seton Park. His bordering hole was the Seedon Park Alsil. He on a return across the railway line to his home at Seedon Park, was hit by a Train luckily survived. It was very very broken up and spent in hospital, and I'll go to visit him. And I was thinking what can I do to lift his spirit? Anyway, I had this idea of writing to where he dunlop to inform Weary of Uncle George's plight, h and not thinking that he would find the time or he certainly of the interest, but find the time to reply. So he returned a letter to my uncle George saying, chip your spirit up. The Japs couldn't fill you, so train would have no hope.
00:09:43
Speaker 1: That's extraordinary. Wow, great stories, but thank you. That was remarkable. Keep coming in, folks. Act double two three, double O, double oh is the number. Sue and Shane will hear from you about someone in your family you'd like to recognize. On this Anzac Day.
00:09:56

00:10:07
Speaker 5: David ben Burbee and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
00:10:11
Speaker 1: Twenty three after six really special meat tro this morning on Anzac Day. You we're learning a little bit about the family members and the families of those that listen to five double a Breakfast and how they observed the country with stories and shout outs that listeners are giving and in the process putting themselves in the running to win the meat trail. Be it. This feels like one of those topics that people would call in without a price, because there's nothing like the pride you have in a family member. Sue and my law tell us about your family member that served morning.
00:10:37
Speaker 9: Guys, I'm just rushing off the op shop. Can I just say our op shop is open tomorrow on end Zac Day and we're donating all of our takings to the legacy.
00:10:44
Speaker 1: Good Sue, well done.
00:10:46
Speaker 4: Yes, people know that, beautiful sir.
00:10:48
Speaker 9: My great uncles were Sir Ross and Sir Keith Smith who flew the Vickers vim outep.
00:10:55
Speaker 1: We may have heard of them.
00:10:56
Speaker 9: Sou Uncle Ross was one of the most created pilots in World War One and he was the favorite pilot of Lawrence of Arabia. So as go to pilot.
00:11:09
Speaker 1: How did that come about?
00:11:10
Speaker 9: So they well, he was just the best pilot, full stop. And they used to he used to get him to fly really and these were like you know, those little old planes they used to fly these really low level missions just above the enemy campgrounds to take photographs. So they used to have to fly one hundred few hundred feet at the most above enemy camps to take photographs. And so he was considered the best pilot. So Lawrence actually wrote about him in his book. He was a huge fan of his and uncle Ross was well known as yeah, the best pilot going around, so very proud of that.
00:11:50
Speaker 1: Ye as you should do. So that's a remarkable not just a bit of family history, but Australian history. Let's go to Brooklyn Park, Shane, good morning.
00:12:00
Speaker 8: Out to my uncle.
00:12:01
Speaker 10: He was in the SAS second Squadron there and he last year in twenty twenty five, he wrote a book called Kip of the Spear. He was the forward scout, meaning the person right off the front, leading a team of four or five people. He got dropped into the jungle always the Kong behind enemy lines, so there was only the four or five of them. He was seventeen at the.
00:12:30
Speaker 11: Time and.
00:12:34
Speaker 10: Got a bit brachial. I just want to read a little bit from.
00:12:38
Speaker 4: His book, if you go, mind, we'd love to hear it.
00:12:42
Speaker 10: As I moved forward, I noticed some thickets of bamboo I holded to check the middle ground, then the distant ground. Satisfied there was no immediate threats, I looked down to carefully place my feet. I froze. The sun was twittering through to the jungle flour and I noticed a shiny, straight piece of wire at shinn height. I squatted down slowly and gave the Sun's downs thentrol command of movement up to me. The wire was inchest from me. My heart was racing and I was dripping with sweat. Up safely moving away. We followed the trip wire to the base of small tree three meters away. I was attached to an instantaneous hand grenade. I've seen the grotesque result of booby traps and was faithful I had seen the wire in time.
00:13:34
Speaker 1: Wow, my uncle.
00:13:37
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's an incredible bit of writing.
00:13:41
Speaker 1: Chat. That's remarkable. You should you should be proud, Shane, Yeah, absolutely, litter of these stories going to be very emotional. Well, they might be for people. I mean seventeen years so, says tip of the spears. They are the tip of the spear of the most elite element of the Australian Armed Forces. But there at seventeen Yeah, he's seventeen, and you're going into an area that, by its nature by where the SSAS operates, it hasn't been cleared. It's not ready for an operation. You'll just you dropped into the middle of the action. That's just extraordinary hard to remade around. Thank you for that, Shane keeping coming in eight double two three at double O. DOUBLEO is the number nineteen point eight degrees outside in the city at the moment, heading for a top today of twenty seven the weekend. What's the latest weekend forecast. We'll get the full update from the bureau, but tomorrow twenty eight bit of rain around actually now in the forecast zero to two millimeters tomorrow and then zero to four on Sunday, so might get a little bit. It drops away the weather top temperature twenty one on Sunday and then warms up again next week twenty four Monday, twenty seven, Tuesday, twenty eight Wednesday and twenty nine on Thursday. Tom Ren is in the studio with us Glider our Garage Doors heading Strength, Style and Safety to your home gliderol dot com dot au, who will be playing the role of bugler at a dawn service tomorrow morning. I believe Rennie.
00:15:01
Speaker 12: Yes out of rose Water in the morning, so little one and then before the Port District's footag club came tomorrow.
00:15:07
Speaker 1: You're doing a double shift.
00:15:08
Speaker 13: A double amy, so yeah, that should be good. So looking forward to it.
00:15:13
Speaker 12: Actually, I think it's the first time they've sort of done something like this Port Districts and got the anthem and everything going, so it should be a big day. And then off to call the footy for the Port game after that their Port a long game, so they do a.
00:15:25
Speaker 4: Good job with that relation to collaborating with the Cats to make sure it's got the appropriate com memority of the Anzac day vibe to it.
00:15:33
Speaker 12: They've done a great job for a long time, so I'm looking forward to it. And they're unchanged just from a football perspective, Port, which I.
00:15:38
Speaker 13: Think is good. Even though they lost last week. They are really solid.
00:15:41
Speaker 12: I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform against the side they have struggled against a lot in the past. That's a big game and of course for the Crows, well they play on Sunday. I think you know, we're all behind Jordan Dawson and you know his name to play it this day to the intention now things could change, but at this stage he is set to play, so we just hope that he goes well. And you know, we know it's been a very stressful and emotional time. So yeah, absolutely, you know everyone will be hoping he goes well on Sunday.
00:16:11
Speaker 4: Completely big game, both of Brisbane and the Crows because it's absolutely level pegging on the ladder. Yeah, there was a similar situation a couple of years ago.
00:16:20
Speaker 1: They had a draw.
00:16:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, they were both even and then for the rest of the year Brisbane didn't lose a game and I think the Crows one another two.
00:16:26
Speaker 13: Yeah, exactly.
00:16:27
Speaker 12: And look, the Crows did beat Brisbane last year in the one game they played at Adelaido five goals to Zip in the final quarter, so they can match up against them. But they haven't beaten Brisbane over there since twenty eighteen. So it's a tough challenge.
00:16:39
Speaker 1: You want to if you want to get Brisbane in the first half of a year. Yes, Brisbane, they flip the switch to EAM.
00:16:45
Speaker 12: They start slow and then they build up and you get the sense they'll do it again. Round kicked off last night. Aaron Norton.
00:16:51
Speaker 4: That's the end of one that's one of.
00:16:53
Speaker 1: The most gruesome incidents I've ever seen.
00:16:56
Speaker 12: It was horrific, wasn't it. Thankfully, I think he's okay. They're gonna have more stands today.
00:17:01
Speaker 13: Maybe a strained neck they think was it Danny Morton?
00:17:05
Speaker 1: That Danny.
00:17:06
Speaker 12: It was a horrible injury. Yeah, thirty odd years ago or twenty five years ago. But yeah, Aaron, it was sickening. But look, it looks like he's going to be alright.
00:17:16
Speaker 1: So thank goodness the thumbs up when they got him on the in the moment that the moment you saw it. You look, they look like you're breaking his neck completely.
00:17:24
Speaker 4: But yeah, so hopefully he'll be all right. What have they got like inverted crucifixes, black cats.
00:17:33
Speaker 13: Footing, wretched run, haven't they?
00:17:36
Speaker 9: So?

00:18:02
Speaker 1: Breakfast twenty minutes to seven off de France. In a moment, the world's biggest kite flying vegetable is on there at the moment. It's been going for thirty nine years, representing twenty eight countries across the world. Australia has been represented at the event by two a couple from here in Adelaide that handmake their kites and go every single year. We're crossing there to chat with them. In just a moment. We're quite a moving meat tray this morning, thanks to the wonderful people at Shanella's who were delighted to have them on board for this very special meat tray. Friday sixty two, Prospect Road at Prospect where we're asking you to shout out a family member who served, however recent or distant their service may have been. What was their relationship to you, Where did they serve as story about their service. We've had some wonderful calls in the first half hour of the show and we want that to continue right through until nine o'clock. So let's head to Selex Beach because a Janet has called in. Janet, good morning to.
00:18:56
Speaker 14: You, Oh you.
00:18:57
Speaker 15: Good morning guys. My father in law was a gunna in G for for George four sixty squadrons and when G for George was placed in the War Memorial in Canberra, we got an invitation to go, and my husband didn't want to go. He said he'd be too emotional, and I said, well, you'll be sorry if you don't, so I talked to our son and daughter in law in too coming with us, and it was absolutely a fabulous morning, and there was a we actually met. My husband got to meet the pilot for G for George and Holland Gardener from York Peninsula, and he told Mark he put the first two bob in his money box when he was little, and my father in law did thirteen missions over Berlin and he was only meant to.
00:19:38
Speaker 16: Do about five.
00:19:40
Speaker 15: So people avoid the number thirteen, but not for us, thirteen lucky lucky number. And quite often we go to restaurants, we get table number thirteen, we get it's just pops up a lot, So thirteen is very very lucky for us. And we go to the dawn service in my ponger each time. And also I was going to say that Colin Gardner, who was the pilot lived on York and Ninja ended up sponsoring my father in law to come out from Yorkshire and when my husband was twelve. So that was yeah, quite quite amazing.
00:20:17
Speaker 4: Well, all wonderful memories get out thirteen.
00:20:20
Speaker 1: Yes, and talking about writing luck well, a lot of guys didn't make that. I mean there was the attrition rate among Allied bombers, especially going deep into Germany was horrific.
00:20:31
Speaker 15: The weird gunners were the first to get Yeah, I'm sure that weren't they. He was very fortunate and he lived to eighty six I think he was when he passed away.
00:20:40
Speaker 1: Wow, some extraordinary things. That's just thank you guys, thank you, thanks for sharing your story. Janet. Those Lancasters are just remarkable planes. What a story, thirteen sort he is into into Germany. Let's talk about something else that goes that flies in the air, but is much more peaceful and pleasant to imagine if your eyes. There is a festival going on in France at the moment at the beach by the coast, so the backdrop is water and in the sky kites, thousands of them from everywhere in the world, twenty eight different countries. It's a festival. It's been going on for thirty nine years and Adelaide is well represented there because Australia is represented there. By our next guest and her partner, Linda Sanders.
00:21:24
Speaker 17: Good morning to you, good evening from here.
00:21:28
Speaker 1: It would be almost midnight in France.
00:21:30
Speaker 17: I'm guessing Linda correct, after a very heavy day.
00:21:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, thank you for starting up so late to talk to us back here in Adelaide.
00:21:38
Speaker 17: That's fine.
00:21:39
Speaker 4: What a wonderful part of the world during I'm just looking at the map of my French is terrible, but it says Laplage Burk sur Mayer. Anything with the word siwal Mare in it. By sea, you must be a pretty good spot to be staying. I'm imagining it's a.
00:21:54
Speaker 17: Beautiful, beautiful beach. I know Adelaide has lovely beaches, but this beach just it is flat and it goes for miles, but when the tide goes out, it's so far that you can't see it, and the beach is just full of public coming to watch all the four hundred and something numbered kite flyers who have joined together for this wonderful event.
00:22:20
Speaker 1: So when does or how does an enthusiasm for kite flying take you from Adelaide to France. Where did it all start?
00:22:28
Speaker 17: Oh gosh, a plastic kite that at a petrol station gave away one year and we thought that our children would love it, and they didn't, but we did.
00:22:40
Speaker 1: And now is it right that you might make these kites? Now?
00:22:46
Speaker 18: Yes?
00:22:46
Speaker 17: Between myself and my husband, we are kite makers. He and I decided to do separate things. Though he went straight into his kite making. I decided to let him do that, and I work on the waving feathers banners. But my banners are the artistic presentation of my own style, which is a fabric lead light. If you can imagine a church window when the sun comes through it. Mine is made out of fabric. But each each one that I design represents a different country, so the public who come along are challenged to work out which one is which country?
00:23:25
Speaker 4: So what do you base it on? Their flags or other aspects of like their.
00:23:31
Speaker 17: You would have to have to have a look at some of the photographs, but some of them are cryptic clues. I'll give you one clue, one clue, and the banner for Belgium features pictures of a man in a bowler hat, with an apple of his face. And anyone who is an artist who understands art will realize that that was that's the key signature of a Belgian artist. I won't tell you anymore.
00:24:01
Speaker 1: A great thing. That's fantastic.
00:24:03
Speaker 4: And it's a competition, Linda, So are you in the running for a medal or trophy?
00:24:09
Speaker 17: Wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be lovely?
00:24:11
Speaker 7: Now?
00:24:12
Speaker 17: It is actually a festival of ten days that has encompassed one specific field of kite flying, that is the two string sport kite or the four string quadline kite, and that competitions are held from ten o'clock each day until six pm. Different levels of competitions that've got to do certain maneuvers. Each country is well, each country there are eleven, I believe eleven countries represented teams of eighty people. Eighty kite flyers are doing their thing on the main field, whereas we are on the side fields, talking with the public, helping them with the kites that they've bought, just enjoying the sunshine and just loving speaking a bit of French.
00:24:58
Speaker 1: Beautiful.
00:25:00
Speaker 4: Well, look it sounds like you're having a wonderful time. What a great thing to be part of Linda Sanders there with husband Kine, all the way from Wallanga over there in Berkville, Mayor.
00:25:10
Speaker 1: What a beautiful place to be, What a nice way to be pursuing a hobby that turned into a passion. Superb. Good on your Linda. Let's say to the weather Bureau, Oshula Connor is on Judy Ushley, good morning to you.
00:25:22
Speaker 19: Good morning.
00:25:23
Speaker 1: Now the weekend? What lay ahead for us?
00:25:28
Speaker 20: Well, for today, we'll have I'm mostly say they've got this high clouds that are moving over the state, over so the area at the moment, but we will see a favit of sunshine peeping through as we move through the rest of the day. Headed for a top of twenty seven in Adelaide today. And as for the weekend, we should start the weekend in a pretty similar fashion, just these northerly winds, a little bit of high cloud around ahead of a cold front which is approaching the Adelaide area tomorrow, So we will start to see that cloud building sort of through tomorrow afternoon and evening, and then expecting that front to cross through the Adelaide area overnight tomorrow night, So possitively seeing some showers developing sort of pretty close to midnight through Adelaide tomorrow, even the chance of a thunderstorm through the area in the early hours of Sunday morning, and then that all clears out pretty quickly on Sunday, but we do see some cooler air coming through behind it, so we go from a top of twenty eight tomorrow down to twenty one on Sunday. But then as we move into the new week, we'll see those temperatures warming up and those dry, sunny conditions returning.
00:26:40
Speaker 1: All right, thank you Chela for surely condor from the weather Burea. Let's say to say, powl Son you gome to Matt Hale's on the line. Matt, there's been a question.

There's people out on the foot paths, particularly this hot weather, so there should be plenty of people who are out there dining. Our Fresco are having a beer outside the towert or something like that. So yeah, there's been too much of that carry on in good Your Street lately. I go there once a month with my mates and we've seen some real rat baggery as we've been having a few quiet ones and eating at dinner. Thanks for that, Matt Seenior Constable Matt Hale from Sapole.

It is Anzac Day eve and for the meat tray this morning, we're giving you the opportunity to call in and shout out a loved one, a family member who served, be it recent or in the distant past. Where they were, wherever they served, whatever they did, tell us how proud you are of them and what they did, and it could win you a meet Trey on five to blow breakfast this morning, let's say to the brassa Yvonne, good morning, Yes.
00:30:14
Speaker 19: Good morning. I'd like to pay my respects to a gentleman iron nursed going back into the early seventies, who was it Gallipoli? And he told me that he can vividly remembered being on a little boat and jumping into the water and making a run for it, and he said the soldier who was his best friend, he was shot as no sooner they got out the boat and he I can remember. He was a footballer who used to play for West Adelaide and his name's Jim Strugnall.
00:30:52
Speaker 1: That's lovely, Yvonne, thank you. There's somebody really was actually really it must be very emotional going to Gyllipoli. The seven last Night had a story of people that had gone and were standing out of the beach, and lots had family members who weren't as lucky as Jim, who didn't even make it onto the beach. Their last recorded moment was on the boat. They were killed before they even got to set foot there. And to a person, everyone's crying on the beach. It just was just standing with their feet just slightly in that water. And those that same beach, those same rocks on the sea floor surface. It's a remarkable saying, I wonderful we got any listeners that have made the pilgrimage to Gallipoli to give them a sense of me that was written by a there.
00:31:37
Speaker 4: Yes, the fact that just the geography of it it must be quite haunting.
00:31:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was just it was quite moving. Will take some more stories in just a moment, but first it's time to jump in the time machine.
00:31:53
Speaker 3: It's time to flashback with Michael Smith.
00:31:56
Speaker 1: Michael Smith's Flashback seven US at six o'clock on nights.
00:32:00
Speaker 11: Mon I you, Michael, Good morning, Will and David. I'd like to start this morning with a challenge for both of you. Now, in the old days you might have won a World Series Cricket poster or got a free coke, but this morning it's just for fame and glory. Can either of you, in under four seconds tell me what the ingredients are of a big match?
00:32:18
Speaker 1: Well, David wins to.
00:32:19
Speaker 4: All beset patty special sauce, whettus, cheese, onion, pickles on a session we see bum winner.
00:32:25
Speaker 11: Well done, David. Isn't that incredible that a marketing campaign like that has lasted?
00:32:32
Speaker 1: It is amazing.
00:32:33
Speaker 4: It's like I'm fifty six years old when did the ed come out.
00:32:37
Speaker 11: Oh, I think they started that in the seventies, but it's had a few different iterations over the generations. Really really clever marketing. On flashback this week we're looking at the arrival and rise of fast food change in Adelaide. Interestingly, Macas was the last major one to get here, the first stoor opening in nineteen seventy seven. It's still there on Main North Road at Enfield. Colonel Sanders, by contrast, had been here, said it's nineteen sixty nine. He opened his first store, now demolished, on Greenhill Road at Dubwitch. And I found a great film actually of the Colonel visiting Adelaide in nineteen seventy six, and he's offered some chicken from an Adelaide chef. No secret herbs and spices, but I'm pleased to say the Colonel was suitably impressed by what was on offer in Adelaide. Hungary Jacks is the really interesting one, the first store opening of Everett Park near Locorne. You there on Anazac Highway, but you don't know why it's called Hungary Jack's here and not Burger King, even though it's pretty much a carbon copy of the American chain.
00:33:35
Speaker 4: Well, isn't it sort of named after the guy who started in Australia, Jack Cown.
00:33:40
Speaker 11: Interestingly, his name was Jack Cow and it's actually named after a plancake mix. That's a longer story, but the short version is there was an Adelaide entrepreneur called Don Durvan who already had a chain of burger stools called burger King in Australia.
00:33:53
Speaker 1: In fact, the first.
00:33:54
Speaker 11: One was on Anzac Highway at Everard Park, so when Burger King America wanted to open up here, he had the naming rights, hence Hungry Jacks. One of the really interesting things about all of them looking back is how fast food was marketed to South Australians. And the one thing all the chains had in common was the use of jingles. See how many of these you can remember?
00:34:22
Speaker 3: And get that jack, get.
00:34:26
Speaker 14: That men in and then relates.
00:34:37
Speaker 22: For one night, stempen for a night, You're welcome, Come on into the pizza hut and get any dessert for just twenty cents.
00:34:52
Speaker 11: Twenty cents off that at a cost of blifting. Christ this is it, and of course everything is so many South I was he kids got their first jobs as teenagers at a fast food join. I was a macas kid back in the eighties, so lots of nostalgia to look back on on Sunday night.
00:35:06
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and if only they can bring back the Jumbo as well. While we're talking about all of this, Michael Great flashback mate Michael Smith for seven years.
00:35:19
Speaker 2: Knockdown Bill two with Metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:35:25
Speaker 3: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.

00:35:33
Speaker 1: Seven after seven, Good morning to you and welcome to Friday on five Double A Breakfast, twenty fourth of April. The date is significant because it's Anzac Day eve ol our show before Anzac Day. And what we thought we'd do this morning is we'll get to know each other and our family is all a little bit better and in the process celebrate those that have served our country the Metro thanks to the great two people at Chanella's sixty two Prospect Road Prospect and the all task is simple. If there's a family member that you're particularly proud of, someone you'd like to share a little bit about their story who served tell us about the conflict, tell us about their relationship to You've you've got a story that goes with it all the better. But we've absolutely loved this first hour of callers, and we really appreciate everyone who's called in.
00:36:13
Speaker 4: Had some great calls, great stories so far. A lot of texts coming through. Wendy rang about her uncle Clive and also her son who served in each team or and also in Iraq, John rang about his uncle George. We're getting text through like this one from Keith in Findon, which includes some wonderful photographs. Keith writes, my granddad George proudly mounted his service medals and there's also a couple of picks here many memories he shared flying Lancasters during World War II. Thanks for that, Keith, and this is nice. Hopefully they were local kids. Someone who sent her a picture of that wonderful new war memorial in all Dinger. The war memorial itself isn't new, but the location is and they've set it out nice open space there, just next to the football oval and the new high school. And someone who's placed some rocks at the base of the memorial that have all been painted with the words thank you on them.
00:37:16
Speaker 1: It's lovely that's fantastic. I encourage everyone as well if this conversation triggers any memories or in curiosity for you to explore more about your own family. The digital records that are on off and how are unbelievable. You go to the Australian War Memorial site and you'll be able to find stuff about the unit your family members served in, maybe something about their story, some official documents. There is a trove of things, pictures. I found pictures of enlistment and the official paperwork of family members when they signed up for the First World War and so forth. It's unbelievable. It's actually pretty easy to navigate. So if there's any of this conversation triggers curiosity, I encourage you go to the War Memorial website. That's a good place to stay up. But there's a Trive information online as well. Hey, a little bit later today it is Foody Friday time. Stacy Lee will be joined by Chris Charmer from Jarmer's Kitchen for Foody Friday after three pm. Building a renovating. Your first choice should be visiting the speak show him at Debnly Distributors. Taste the difference with Smeg and powers. He's a wonderful guy. Chris Jarmer. We love him, We talk about his restaurants a lot, but our thoughts are with him as well at the moment with the shocking loss of his nephew. Story just heartbreaking. Is absolute tragedy, traveling in Europe and contract him in Jacockle four hours after he got symptoms he was he passed away. So our thoughts are with the whole Jarmer family. All right, let's head to Canberra and recap what has been a big week in federal politics. Michael Packi is the national political editor for nine Radio. Pack Good morning to.
00:38:46
Speaker 18: You, Good morning boys.
00:38:47
Speaker 23: How are you?
00:38:48
Speaker 1: We're good, Thank you. Pack.
00:38:49
Speaker 4: This war drags on and on and on, and every day you wake up and it's the straits are open, the straits are closed, the ceasefires on, the ceasefires going to be off. It's hard to keep back of it all, isn't it.
00:39:01
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, look absolutely, And I think it's been pretty hard just an extent for the government as well, in the sense that for us in Australia it's been all about fuel and these fuel supplies and petrol supplies, diesel supplies, jet fuel supplies, I think the government is done okay, actually pretty well in trying to secure the amount of supplies that we have, given the level of challenges that we face. As you mentioned, one minute the straight is open, next minute it's closed, and it's affecting these oil shipments. What I think is interesting what the Prime Minister said yesterday is that we're now not only getting oil supplies from our traditional partners in Asia, but it's expanded. We're now starting to bring more oil in from the US, Argentina and Olgeria. These are countries where we would just get a very very small fraction of fuel, and now we're starting to in some cases even double the amount of fuel that's coming in from those countries. The government says that in terms of petrol, there's about forty six days in reserve, thirty days or so of diesel. But I did notice that Peter malanowskis your Premiere, yesterday, when he was asked about this, he said that it was good that these supplies were coming in, but he, along with a few of the other premiers, are a bit worrying about future fuel supplies, especially around that period in June or middle of June, because I reckon that we've got enough until about May and the start of June. But what happens after that? Given the uncertainty of what we hear every day.
00:40:36
Speaker 4: It's been a massive wake up call, hasn't it pack And obviously, you know, people like Chris Bowen have been the focus of a lot of criticism this week with his sort of weird comments about how fossil hills aren't really the bill and end all and that what's happening in the Middle East has got nothing to do with that. At the same time that the PM's been running around Southeast Age you're trying to get them. But yeah, not being overly partisan about at it, because you know, we had liberal governments that didn't pay any attention to the fuel reserves issue after it was a policy by Bill Shorten that he took to an election, but then it just fell off the collective national radar, didn't it.
00:41:20
Speaker 18: Absolutely? And I mean Angus Taylor, the current Opposition leader, who was the Energy Minister when the coalition.
00:41:27
Speaker 24: Was in government.
00:41:28
Speaker 18: He was trying to make some changes around this by trying to keep a few oil refineries open. And now we've got these two oil refineries, of which one has been badly damaged and that's going to cause some problems for months to come. What I do think is interesting is that just going back a bit on the oil refinery, the Viva oil refinery in Gaelong, I think the government is saying that day Viva and the Amphole refinery won't be getting any further government subsidies to refine diesel, which I actually thought was quite interesting given that we've only got these two refineries and we've got these challenges in getting this fuel through. But you're right, both sides of politics are to blame for what is happening now through the closing of the refineries, mainly and also not having a lot of enough of this stockpile. Yes, we've got the forty six days now, remember that, which is a good thing. But remember that the recommendation is ninety days, notty, not even forty six, So we've still got a fair way to go to get just that fuel in reserve. Government is saying, well, if we do get the ninety days in reserve, that may be well and good, but it is going to cost about twenty billion dollars to make sure that we can keep that fuel in reserve and you've got a budget that's constrained.
00:42:45
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, have a great weekend.
00:42:48
Speaker 4: Pack Thanks for that. Michael Packy, the national political editor for nine Radio fourteen after seven. It's takes some metre Friday entries that David has called it. David's the family. Maybe you'd like to give a shout out to you this morning.
00:42:59
Speaker 25: Yeah, good morning. I'll look at some behalf of my wife. So her family history extends far and wide with military service. But her grandfather was in the Port of Darwin playing two up when it got bombed. He survived, but he spoke about it very little. Her great great grandfather was a bit of a scully wag in World War Two and he kept on going a wall and eventually married his British wife. But her great uncles is probably so. There was Thomas Clarence, Lawrence John and Wilfrid Eglinton and they were brought from Broughton, Mandura and unfortunately one of those only one of the brothers, Thomas, was married. And unfortunately three of those brothers were killed in action. One of them was maimed and came home to live a pretty miserable life. And what we understand and what we researched and and John was discharged to come home and and look after the family farm. So it was quite a tragedy, all too familiar for a movie, I guess. But yeah, but seldom we've spoken about, but we always think about it, definitely.
00:44:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, during during of course.
00:44:16
Speaker 25: Makes a very humbling to think. We sort of get up and go to work every day and do what we do, but these people have put there it lies and on the line tragedy.
00:44:28
Speaker 1: It's full on.
00:44:29
Speaker 4: That's an amazing story of David. It's like saving Private Ryan, Isn't it quite literally the same storyline, isn't it?
00:44:35
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean you think of some of the statistics in conflict. World War One stands out of it because it's fantastic. Yeah, to film the first fifteen minutes is it's an appropriately hard watch for something that deigns to be an accurate reflection of how awful war is. Yes.
00:44:53
Speaker 4: I think the scene too where they're in that French town waiting for the Nazis to come through in their tanks. Yes, and there and they're listening to it's like an Edith pr type. So I'm sitting all my French bistro chairs. Yeah, And then you hear that. Just imagine hearing the sound of those tanks. Yeah, it's just as like a demonic sound, isn't it.
00:45:10
Speaker 1: It's just awful. Let's say to craig Burn Farm, Damien, good morning.
00:45:13
Speaker 26: Gooday guys. I'd just like to recognize my father's service. He was in the Australian Navy through and our years through World War Two. He happened to be at the surrender of Kowloon by the Japanese part of frittilla of Allied forces that entered Hong Kong Harbor, and you know, unfortunately it was witnessed to atrocities that occurred there, but also my father's great great uncle who went to Calipoli and like you described, you never made it out of the boat. And in the after war there was investigations by the military about the last witness to see people that had fallen. And yeah, the way in which the guide describes in the dead night the whistle blue, they jumped out of the boat and he was never seen again.
00:46:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's harrowing, isn't it.
00:46:18
Speaker 1: Thank you, David. The statistics we've heard, but they hard to wrap your head around, especially World War One. So one percent of the Australian population perished in the First World War, sixty thousand people, or more than of a population at the time, it was just une to five million people. That's one of every hundred people walking around Adelaide just gone to the war, but one in more than one every ten men enlisted. Yeah, it was five hundred thousand people enlisted. Just staggering, incredible. It led to that remarkable exchange between Prime Minister Billy Hughes at the time at the Treaty of Versailles at the end of the First World War where the US President at the time, they were trying to work out what would become of the German colonies, and Billy Hughes had a really strong view about Papua New Guinea, which had been what's now Papua New Guinea but had been a German colony, that it should be come to Australia. The view at the time among the other allies was that it should go to Japan, which really would have changed the complexion of World War II from an Australian perspective. Billy Hughes said, Billy Hughes said, this is ridiculous, and at the time the US President said to him. Woodrow Wilson said to him, sorry, I think it's a bit inappropriate, you piping up from this tiny little country. Well, how many people are you actually speaking for? And Billy Hughes is one of those famous quotes in Australian history, said, I speak for sixty thousand dead for how many do you speak? Because Australian lost more people in the First World War than the United States, and the sum of that exchange, Papunau Guinea would become an Australian colony. You know, the scene of some very famous battles in the Second World War, of course, none more famous than Kakoda. And yeah, imagine if it had been a Japanese colony, It's incredible. It would have looked very, very different. I didn't know that line. It's a great line. It's a great line. Yeah, one are the great lines in Australian political history. The other thing we wanted to do this morning, and amongst hearing your wonderful stories and tributes to your family members, is hear from some other notable Australians and often guests to our program about Anzac Day. And indeed are the many and varied ways in which it has inspired them, and they've contributed to Australia's proud history as well. Starting with a somewhat regular guest of ours and a name I'm sure you'll recognize, and if you don't recognize the name, you'll certainly recognize the song. This answer day, we remember the service.
00:48:53
Speaker 16: I shall not weary them you are, the years condemn, the sacrifice, the going down on the sun and in the morning, and.
00:49:01
Speaker 5: The personal histories that continue to shape our families.
00:49:05
Speaker 3: We will remember that this is our Anzech story.
00:49:10
Speaker 27: I'm John Schumann and I'm very proud to be the singer songwriter responsible for I was only nineteen.
00:49:17
Speaker 28: I was only nineteen.
00:49:20
Speaker 1: Well I wrote it.
00:49:21
Speaker 27: I had no idea that it was going to weave itself into.
00:49:26
Speaker 1: Our cultural and historical fabric. Very proud of that.
00:49:29
Speaker 27: I've always thought that Australians are a fair and decent mod There was some underlying, unspoken anxiety and guilt that we hadn't done the right thing by our Vietnam veterans. The story gave us all the chance to look over the fence into the backyard of the Vietnam veteran and it was like an I get it, min it there is something quintessentially Australian about how we go about things. You know, we go about it with honor and respect and compassion, with courage.
00:49:56
Speaker 28: But the other thing that I have learned is that when Australians are in a combat situation, when they are fighting for their lives, they're not fighting for the government. They're fighting for their mates.
00:50:10
Speaker 1: Honoring the past through the voices of the present.
00:50:14
Speaker 2: Lest we forget, knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
00:50:22
Speaker 3: Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:50:25
Speaker 5: David ben Burthy and Will Goodies five Double A Breakfast, Scrap Podcast steps Tim ginevah on five Double A Breakfast, g.
00:50:43
Speaker 1: Big Weekend and Footy Your Head. It all started last night and of course with the headliner of Anzac Day tomorrow. Lots to talk about Timmy g Joy just wanting you Tim, Oh.
00:50:52
Speaker 29: Good morning gentlemen. Yeah jeez, it's just that timing year every time it comes along your sort of gripture, There's no doubt about that. Having done quite a few things that I went to Villa's Brettanu, which is a French town that the Australians they love the Aussies. And I went there because I did a little couple of days in the Simon. I got to say, I couldn't say that it was an amazing experience. It was just so so leveling and just brought me just into a different world. And you know, there's this little school in Villa's, Brittany that have a sign up in there. They have the Australian arms on their on the front of their building and they celebrate Anzac Day every year and they actually have a sign up there saying, let us never forget Australia. It's just amazing stuff. And yeah, I heard your numbers there will about World War One. That was just and that's what is so sobering about it. You go and read these signs and these stories of all these different people, and this old fellow has written this thing and he lost his brother and he comes back every year while he was alive to visit the site of where he lost his brother, and he writes this story and he goes and what was it all about. It was a bloody waste of life and it was all over a family row. It just unbelievable, just brought it back to reality.
00:52:24
Speaker 1: It's like, Wow, he's spot on.
00:52:26
Speaker 29: You know, it was such a waste of life, wicked And I love that bit you just had on with John Schumann, a terrific bloke.
00:52:34
Speaker 1: Johnny.
00:52:34
Speaker 29: I've been able to spend a bit of time with him. But last year I went to Vietnam and went and visited the tunnels and we had this driver who was I couldn't speak English, but we did it through the Google Translate, and he kept giving me the phone to read it. And he said, my father helped the Americans during the Vietnam War. And he said, and the Americans when it was they were about to evacuate, said listen, you better come with us, because they won't let you survive. And he said, well, I'd like to sort of bring my family, and I said there's no time. And so they took his father and his mother had to raise him and his five siblings on her own because they would have they would have murdered him. And he said that because of that, and they knew that he worked for the Americans, their family for three generations are not allowed to hold a job other than labor.
00:53:38
Speaker 1: Really, wow, that's amazing.
00:53:40
Speaker 29: To this day, and it's still going down to his son, so his son will only be alloble to do a labor job.
00:53:49
Speaker 4: You said the tunnels. Was that those Chwo cheese channels to the Kong tunnels?
00:53:53
Speaker 29: Yeah, and the well I attempted and he said no, wisely, I think, because it just gets thinner and darker and all the rest of it. But the network that was underneath there was incredible. It went all to all the way to Sigone, which is this would be like being at Victor Harbor to Adelaide, and the tunnels went all the way underneath all the way through to Sigon, which has ed him in now just as staggering inside. And he actually took me to an Australian War memorial if you like, for to celebrate the Aussies. But he said that it's it's there, but it's it's looked after every day, it's cleaned, but it is not allowed to have any signage.
00:54:44
Speaker 1: Wow, amazing incredible stories.
00:54:48
Speaker 29: I think when you play football it puts all of that into perspective. And I think this weekend, when we've we've got all these rounds of football, you sort of again it just brings you back to you know, what's really important and that is celebrating your family and hopefully enjoying a pine or pasty at the footy.
00:55:06
Speaker 1: Correct. If there's ever a day, Tim, we're going to get you on a not talk sport. This is the right day for it. Good on you, Tim, Thank you story, appreciated him getting some lovely text through and some terrific stories on the open line as well. Keep your calls coming in. We're going to get to some more on the other side of five double.
00:55:22
Speaker 2: News knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro Homes. They do it all for you.
00:55:31
Speaker 5: Deep in pen berthe and Will Goodings five double a Breakfast.
00:55:40
Speaker 1: Nineteen minutes too. Eight. If you're joining us for the first time on this Friday morning, well we've got to meet try. I think this might be the most democratic meatro I've ever had, in the sense that I suspect just about everyone listening can participate, because.
00:55:52
Speaker 4: I also think that it's actually almost impossible to judge.
00:55:56
Speaker 1: There is no judgment here. We're going to pick someone against the met Yeah, yeah, with the Betroit thanks to Sina, So you know it's going to be great. We've received so many wonderful messages over the course of the morning. People appreciate hearing the stories, and so do we. Frankly, we love hearing from our listeners, giving you our other listeners and insight into their family, their family members who have served a little bit about their story. We're getting to know a lot of people and a lot of wonderful South Australians over the course of the morning. Let's say to Glenelg North, Helen has called it good morning, do you Helen?
00:56:28
Speaker 23: Good morning?
00:56:30
Speaker 16: My father and his brother were part of the Rats of Tabrook, second forty eight Infantry and yeah, that was in the Second World Well, I just wanted to read you out a little poem if I could, very briefly. My granddaughter who was ten years old, she wrote this last year on Remembrance Day. I think they had a service at school, but this is what she wrote, remembering iridescent poppies bloom with the roses lining in the branches, a field of grass and one of war songs, so sad but of peace. Once more, countries they clash and people they fall. We love those who left lost, but never forgotten. Bodies lay heavy before it begins, for it is a war and no one ever wins. Lest we forget.
00:57:29
Speaker 4: It's beautiful, Helen, It's for.
00:57:32
Speaker 16: Ten years old. It's unbelievable, isn't it.
00:57:34
Speaker 4: It's incredible where it's a wonderful, wonderful poem.
00:57:37
Speaker 16: It is beautiful. Yes, I just wanted to share that because it was so lovely.
00:57:42
Speaker 1: Thank you for that, Ellen, It is great work, wonderful. And to the Rats of de Brook, I mean, I think people know them by name, but talk about an undertaught element of Australian war history. We know Gallipoli, we know the tragedy and the senselessness of it. The Rats of the Brook story is a story of Australian excellence and exceptionalism. These guys went to Brook, they took it from the Italians. Then they hurled it against Rommel's Germans that had never lost a battle on land until that point. So this is North Africa. This is North Africa. This is on the German tank warfare right, that's right on the Mediterranean. These guys dug into sand that was hard. You picture digging into in the First World War when you're digging into Western Europe and it's muddy and sloppy. This was desert sand. It wasn't designed to be building trenches and things. And these guys helped this city where for large periods their ships were cut off because it's the Mediterranean, it was hotly contest of the time. These guys held it. And then these same guys, when the Africa campaign was over, went to New Guinea and fought the Japanese there. And the legend of the Rats of de Brook and Leslie Moore said is they gave the Germans their first defeat on land in North Africa and the Japanese their first defeat in Asia when they tried to head south towards Port Moresby. That story and Leslie Morse head, I think it should be required reading for everyone growing up in Australia. And this is one of the reasons why I'm really passionate about the Second World War, and not to discredit the First is that these guys were this is the first generation of guys that were both born in Australia that then rose up to become the guys who commanded Australians. The First World was all the Brits and there was still a bit of that, and certainly in the navy and things in the Second World War, but a lot of these guys were the first time it was Australian soldiers led by Australians.
00:59:30
Speaker 4: And it was a sense of like, we weren't doing it for the Empire, that's right.
00:59:34
Speaker 1: There was a sense of autonomy about it as well. We were there under our own guidance. So thank you for that story, Helen. That was spectacular.
00:59:42
Speaker 4: Resident name, isn't it. Just looking on Google Maps to brook obviously in Libya, which was an Italian colony, colony, Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and they had some Baliland, they had Abersinia.
00:59:54
Speaker 1: Well, the war in Ethiopia that sort of kicked things off. But then the British colonies were like Egypt and ark and that sort of area, so they butted up against one now.
01:00:02
Speaker 4: But just looking to Brook Avenue Saint Mary's to Brook Avenue, Kilburn, to brook Bridge in Penfield Gardens, to Brook Drive, Salisbury Heights, that name resonates for a reason.
01:00:13
Speaker 1: It does, all right. Let's said to Peter havehook the RSL President in Onley because there's a really wonderful local story that's developed over the course of this week with regard to some lost medals that were seen found in an op shop and have they have been reunited with the family of the person who won them. Peter, good morning to you, Thanks for your time. So tell us when you became involved in this story and a little bit about the family at the center of it.
01:00:39
Speaker 30: Sure, it was about mid last year. We got an email completely out of the blue from an op shop in Melbourne and we had no connection to them. This gentleman, his name is Jason Silverstein, lovely Boke, had been trying to he had fend these medals donated to them and been trying to find someone to help him find the family gone the war memorial, several arslves on the East Coast and just complete roadblocks or people weren't getting back to him. So he had researched this guy. As you might know, on the edge of each rim of the medal is the person's name, the recipient's name, and a service number so you can look them up, and found mail from Adelaide somehow found out a little sub branch and sent me an email. So we decided we're trying to help him.
01:01:22
Speaker 1: Now that sounds that my my. I've been watching the story on seven last night. Peter. It was the Distinguished Flying Medal was the one? Was that the one that allowed you to track it to the family.
01:01:33
Speaker 23: Yeah.
01:01:34
Speaker 30: Fortunately all medals have the gentleman's service number on the service number their name, so that helps. But being a recipient of a rare metal like the Distinguished Flying Medal does make it a bit easier. So yeah, it's significant metal to have received. When when someone's ex military sees a group but that I set of seven medals, you instantly realize this person's had a significant career and a long career, so you know that you know makes the research.
01:01:58
Speaker 21: Of the Verdesia.
01:02:00
Speaker 4: It's an extraordinary, extraordinary story.
01:02:03
Speaker 1: Peter.
01:02:07
Speaker 30: What we were able to find out was they belonged to Ken Peters. He grew up in millicent enlisted in World War Two. I think by way of Peterborough was looking up on the railways that three family in Edwardstown became an air crew. He goes on to serve. He was shared with the Wrath Bomber Command in England. So I heard just some of you speaking about OSSI's commanding o HES in World War Two. I think it was commonplace in World War II to send some of our ro Austrail Air Force guys over that way. He's flying in the back of a Sterling bomber, a heavy bomber and doing raids in nineteen forty three over Berlin, no less, occupy Germany. We've got a transcript of what he said about that night. We're going to share our dawn service, and it's just truly amazing. But he was effectively hanging out the back of a bomber and message Smith's flying at him within four hundred meters trying to shoot them, and they lost some of their own guns, tower guns, and he was able to take down those planes And is the first tund account of what he told about that night. But from that action he was awarded the Distinguished Flane Manner.
01:03:18
Speaker 4: For listeners in the only area, Peter, whereabouts is the dawn service tomorrow?
01:03:24
Speaker 30: Yeah, we're at the only Soldiers' Memorial Gardens two hundred and six only road, according to Will started at five thirty five am. We always get a pretty good response. We expect four or five thousand people to turn up. Really great community.
01:03:38
Speaker 4: It's a wonderful part. It's a wonderful garden there and might I understand you're also going to be part of the Anzac commemoration before the Stert Glenell game and only two. Yeah we are.
01:03:51
Speaker 30: Yeah, we've actually got three football games to host that day, the Sturt game at two o'clock and encourage your listeners to come and join us. We'll also be helping good Wood Saints div wine women's mats and the Grannga Rams did one men's mats two o'clock as well.
01:04:06
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:04:07
Speaker 4: I think it's great the way sport becomes a vehicle for making everybody stop and think. No bigger example of that than the Essenon Collingwood game at the MCG. But it's great that that local grassroots footy is doing. It's a bit as well. Thanks for joining us, Peter, Peter have a hot the only RSL president.
01:04:25
Speaker 1: All right, let's take another story. Let's go to mitcham Jill, good morning.
01:04:29
Speaker 19: Good morning.
01:04:30
Speaker 31: Yes, a friend of mine just told me to ring through because my father flew Lancasters. I just listened to that really interesting story. He was in bomba command as well, flew over to two O seven Squadron and did thirty two missions over Germany and his first trip thirty Yeah here, I know, people say to me, Gifore, of course you live because I'm my life and he's a bomb aimer trained and from from Adelaide flew and tiger moster train, went by Sydney and to New York to Edmonton to train in Edmonton in Canada, and posted over to England and he end up in the Australia. Left on his squadrons all died, but he flew quite a few missions and the second to last mission when he was flying the plane was very badly shot up, and being a boy, he had the front guns and in his logbook which we still have, he shot down three German planes and had to land there with no wheels and on the grass with thousand pounds bombs still attached as to the.
01:05:32
Speaker 21: Plane.
01:05:33
Speaker 31: But the worst thing that people don't realize, he came back in February forty five, just before bore finished because he was tour was up. And when they landed Sydney, a guy called Peter Reese wrote a book about Lanecaster men, and I always knew the story that he was treated really badly. When they came back, they had big placards at Sydney Harbors saying Ireland Dodgers sitting in England having cups of Tea and they threw all this gear in the city harbor. He had to hitchhipe back to Adelaide and the RSL would not let him into the RSL because he had the distinguished the emblem of the English, you know, flying in England bomber Command, and a lot of the futhers wouldn't accept them in. And Peterbreeths wrote the story so people don't realize that they were treated quite badly. And when he came back to Adelaide, we lived at Claire and leased the march, and when we came to Adelaide to live, the RSL would not let him march because he was in an English squadron and not an Australian squadron, and he said you don't belongder in his squadron. So I had to sit on my dad's shoulders and watch the Anzac mag make march. The worst thing is in up getting ms when I was a child. Ended up being quadriplegic in the Julia Far Center for fifteen years. And eventually, you know, they said you want to go in the bus and have a look at their march. We said, not too late now. But just those little stories that people don't realize how they were treated badly. And you always knew how the Vietnam bets were treated when came back because he had the same story. It's very unknown about that, but the guy called Peter Rooster write the book. But Midlight in England, you know, on the terrorit Simms Squadron and went over there in twenty ten and managed to go to the Kirkby.
01:07:15
Speaker 23: Museum.
01:07:16
Speaker 31: They've got the Just Jane Lancaster there and they take it out on the car match and they had the engines roaring.
01:07:22
Speaker 23: Was incredible.
01:07:23
Speaker 31: Then they can do a tour on the plane and I can't believe how small it is in there. He's loved the little bubble.
01:07:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, with how many people that on board.
01:07:30
Speaker 7: Yeah.
01:07:31
Speaker 31: I went down to the rear gunner, thinking how did they ever survive down there? But his crew basically the same crew nearly all the way through, and his pilot was a DFC, so I think they were quite lucky. But just going through over the big huge crossbar. You know, I'm not very big and I've found it really really tight in there. And when they had the engines going.
01:07:50
Speaker 23: It was just incredible.
01:07:52
Speaker 1: All those planes, what experienced Jill, that was terrific. Wow, thank you for that. We appreciate it, did Jill in Mitchell, Steve and Tony have stories of family members as well they'd like to share. We're going to hear from them right after.
01:08:04
Speaker 2: The break knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment. Metro homes.
01:08:11
Speaker 3: They do it all for you.
01:08:13
Speaker 5: Deevid pen Burbe and Will Goodings five double a breakfast, three.
01:08:19
Speaker 1: Minutes to weight. Let's send a broad view Steve the family member you'd like to shout out on this Anzac DAYA you, good morning to you.
01:08:27
Speaker 23: Yeah, good morning David. Will, It's great to talk to you.
01:08:30
Speaker 26: Yeah.
01:08:30
Speaker 23: My dad served in the Royal Australian Navy on a ship repatriating the diggers from the islands in the war, and he sent us homeless poem or sent homeless palm, which I'd love to share with it. It's not a long one, sog, I know you a shorter time.
01:08:45
Speaker 1: No go for it.
01:08:46
Speaker 23: It reads how long before this war will end? And to home shores we once more trend Japs know we're bound for Borneo for we heard them on the radio of these all these We have no doubt. We know they'll put the JAP to route. Some may die in tropic hell, but Digger stands where Digger fell. They'll rest this land from evil foe. So on we sail to Borneo. And as I think of home and wife, all our plans for future life, I cursed this rotten scrounge scouts called war. But I know what I'm fighting for.
01:09:32
Speaker 1: What a wonderful little piece of old man rate that state.
01:09:36
Speaker 23: Yes he did, he was when he came home. He was a man that served a lot for the community. A builder, built a lot of homes around Adelaide. And yeah, he was a wonderful man.
01:09:47
Speaker 4: What a brilliant thing to have.
01:09:48
Speaker 1: That's a great little piece of writing. Doesn't attach to the moment to thank you, Steve. We'll quickly get Tony in two wells in before we go to five double a news morning.
01:09:56
Speaker 8: Tony here going, guys.
01:09:58
Speaker 24: I get nervous about coming on. But my dad did the whole six years of World War Two. He is in the first couple of thousand people to join up in South Australia, from Arthurton down to Adelaide. And it's all he was going on an adventure, I think, but I think quickly worked out that it wasn't an adventure. He did the seven medals, he got posthumorously got one for Greece, which when he was on Crete in about the nineteen seventies, but prior to that he had the six campaigns like Middle East and everywhere. And obviously Crete was a lucky one because they were very lucky to get up with the Creek. And then they finished with New Guinea, which was even though he got malaria six times there or something that was. He was the easiest because they had air support in the last one. And he is a bit of a romantic story, is a bit of American. He used to call him Skeeek because he was little like a mosquito and he romantol. He met my mum in towns with during the war and married her and brought it back to South Australia, and he wrote a poem about when he was on Crete. I could quickly say it if you want, he said. He wrote the poem, and then many years arfter he died, it was published and someone else said they wrote it. So we never got a chance to our dad, but he never gave us any reason that he would ever tell a lie.
01:11:14
Speaker 1: But you know.
01:11:17
Speaker 24: It says on the isle of doom, which was creete. Here I sit on the isle of crete, bludging on my blistered feet. Little wonder I've got the blues with feet and cased in big canoes, khaki shorts instead of slacks, living like a tribe of blacks, except the blacks don't sit and brood and wait throughout the day for food. So it was just a month ago, and that boar we sailed increased to win the war. We moaned and groaned beneath our loads while bombers bombed us off the road. They chased us here, they chased us there. The devils chased us everywhere. And while they'd dropped their loads with death, we cursed the bloody RAF. Yeah, the Orif was there in force. They left a few of home. Of course, we saw a tire force one day when I spit for us that the other way. And then we heard the wireless news when Portley winced and gave his goose to Raf. He said, in Greece are fighting hard to give us peace. And so we scratched our heads and thought, this smells distinctly like a rought, and if in Greece the air force feed, and when where the bloody hell are we? And then at last we met the Harnet odds to thirty three to one, and though he made it pretty hot, we gave the devil all we got. The bullets with the big guns roared, and we howled for ships to get aboard. At length they came, and we got on and hurried from that cursed spot. And then they landed us on crete and masked us off our cursed feet.
01:12:33
Speaker 10: The food was light, the.
01:12:34
Speaker 24: Water crooked, and I get fed up and slung the hook the turn that night full up with wine, and the next day caught the two quick fine. My payoo was behind the hell. When the pay was called, I said, oh, well, when they won't pay me, I'm sure of that. And when they did, I smelled a rat. The next day, when their rations came, I realized they're wily game. So sooner they sit down and die, we'd spend our digs on food supplies. And now it will look like even betting than a man will soon become a cretin and spending his days in blackest Bloom on adult filers is written by one who got away, Tony.
01:13:09
Speaker 1: That was amazing. Thank you.
01:13:13
Speaker 2: Knockdown build two with metro homes, move into one and keep the other as an investment.
01:13:18
Speaker 3: Metro homes. They do it all for you.
01:13:21
Speaker 5: David Ben Birdy and Will Goodings five double a breakfast.
01:13:26
Speaker 28: There's nothing.
01:13:29
Speaker 1: Eleven minutes after eight an extraordinary morning we've had on five double a breakfast. Handing the meat tray over to you. Our listeners to tell us stories are family members you're proud of who may have served in any theater of warre and which is ever featured Australians. And we've got some wonderful stories.
01:13:44
Speaker 28: You know.
01:13:44
Speaker 1: One thing that is abundantly clear. We've heard three poems this morning. How did poetry get this reputation of being some sort of a fansy, effeminate sort of pursuit the bravest and toughest bikes of all time in this country down and wrote poetry.
01:14:01
Speaker 4: Well, the good thing about poetry and writing is that it's a way of processing things that are often beyond the realm of human comprehension and emotional capacity to absorb things. And World War One brought us people like Wilfred Owen dot de Gorimez yeah, pro patry and maury, how beautiful it is to die for your country, my friend, you will not say with such cruel jest. What is it?
01:14:29
Speaker 1: I can't remember the final part, the startup? What is it?
01:14:32
Speaker 4: Bent double like old beggars, knock kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge. Amazing bit of writing. But yeah, Rupert Brooke the Englishman died during World War One, one of the most celebrated poets.
01:14:49
Speaker 1: But these Sigfried's so soon there's that wonderful celebrated poets. But the thing that I think stood out this morning is well, this just was something that an average Joe teenager did in war once upon a time. It's quite aside from the point, I just don't think that's a way in which people would naturally think to express themselves these days.
01:15:10
Speaker 4: I understund really old here. I sort of wonder whether you know, these days we spend far too much time worrying about how you going with your PowerPoint presentation, as opposed to the year oldie discipline of giving someone a pen and a piece of paper and saying write something, you know, just just write something. And even through to the Spanish Civil War, like all the best writers in the world at the time, you know, some of them on different sides. But that drove so many people because it was a dress rehearsal for World War Two. It was fascism versus a democratically elected government, and you know or well, sure, so many people immerse themselves in that. But yeah, it's different an era where it wasn't seen as oh, you're right in the poem, are your mate?
01:16:03
Speaker 1: Yeah? But how did that happen? But all these families we've had, people are just sat there one day in a trench or in a jungle or on a boat, writing poetry about people from Adelaid, people from South Australia and surrounds. It's been quite extruded wonderful stories.
01:16:18
Speaker 4: You've ever written a book about South the South South Australian war effort, like specifically about s.
01:16:24
Speaker 1: A great question, not one I've read. So you should write it, mate, seriously, sitting here this morning with your military knowledge and love, I would love to do it. You're you're the right. Unfortunately you can write.
01:16:39
Speaker 4: I've read your stuff. We've held breaking it eight over till Monday. We've got a we've got a really good story. We're going to hold until then, mainly because we want to devote the maximum amount of time to covering Anzac Day. And we're getting a lot of really nice feedback from our listeners who you have enjoyed telling and hearing these stories, family stories that are part of our national story ahead of our most important national day. So we've got Brad Flaherdy, the rsl SA President on the line instead now, Brad, good morning, ahead of such an important day. We just felt that, particularly with it being on a Saturday, we wanted to devote the maximum amount of time to covering Anzac Day ahead of all the dawn services tomorrow. I'll tell you there's more than a couple of them too, and it's a terrific thing. I'm sitting here thumbing through a spreadsheet. It looks like there's about one hundred and seventy odd dawn services in suburban and regional South Australia.
01:17:38
Speaker 32: Well that's there, right, We've actually got about one hundred and twenty sub branches rsl sub branches throughout South Australia. So most small regional towns were impacted by World War One World War two, probably in a percentage high than the average in the cities, so you will find a lot of memorials around in the regions and.
01:17:57
Speaker 25: Even the suburbs.
01:17:58
Speaker 32: I suppose coming into the city of our population level was really pretty small in nineteen fourteen, but we had huge amounts of people that volunteered. So it we had four hundred and eight thousand was the population, and thirty five thousand enlisted in World War One and five and a half thousand didn't come back and around fifteen thousand more were injured. So it's got a significant impact on not only the regions, but the city and the culture build of what we became as a country.
01:18:32
Speaker 1: I believe.
01:18:33
Speaker 4: How have the Dawn Services changed over the years, Brad? I mean, as we said, those numbers are heartening, aren't they? That there are still so many branches, so many people will be fronting up tomorrow. But how have you seen this sort of evolution?
01:18:50
Speaker 32: It dropped away in the seventies, I suppose, and started to build probably in the nineties, about ninety eight onwards, when we started to have some pretty sick, significant offeration national tempo for our defense forces. I saw this is only my point of view, and I saw a pretty big increase both in the regions in the city, and people becoming more and more aware of how we become the country that we are because of the operations that we've served in in World War One, World War two and other areas. And it just continues to build that ethos of honor, sacrifice makeshift and now I see family and obviously a reflection on.
01:19:30
Speaker 1: Veterans, what would you say to younger people who've got still medals in the family that would like to march on the day or participate in Anzac Day, but are a little bit unsure because either maybe they're embarrassed because they don't feel, you know, that they they're fit to walk around with their grandparents' medals on, for example, or they're just a little bit unsure about getting involved in how actual veterans would perceive their participation. What would you say to those people more.
01:19:58
Speaker 32: Than welcome feel embarrassed at all when you're wearing your relations or your granddad's medals, wear them on the right side. The official medals for people that have earned themselves is on the left side. But the RSL and our communities, particularly our local government level people, we would welcome anyone and everyone who can come along it doesn't matter if you don't have any medals of your relations to wear. Just come and be a part of a pretty moving sort of ceremony. I suppose it's a commemoration. Particularly the dawn service is very, very moving, and it's an opportunity for our older people to.
01:20:40
Speaker 21: Educate.
01:20:40
Speaker 32: It's not the right word, but I suppose advise and expose our younger people to what we've been through as a country and as a group of people as veterans.
01:20:51
Speaker 4: Brad, do you feel that enough he's done in our schools about teaching the importance of Anzac Day. I know that every year, like clock, our kids come home and say, Hey, Mum and Dad, ats Harmony Day. We need to get the orange clobber to celebrate multiculturalism different events at different points throughout the school year. I mean, I'm not trying to get all cultural wars about it, but does the RSL feel that it is intertwined enough with the school communities to make sure that kids are learning about why tomorrow is so important.
01:21:29
Speaker 32: It's getting better than what it used to be, and I know that through the Virtual War Memorial there's a lot of the educational type programs that are intertwined with the education system. The biggest concern that I've ever come across though, with our educational process is context. A lot of the time, our people that who want to learn and want to be able to teach correctly don't understand the context of the fact, like, for example, the Vietnam War, how Australia was involved. They don't understand that while we work with the Americans, we weren't a part of it a lot of the time, you know, World War two. People don't understand who we foward a lot of the time, and it's just a matter of of honing that awareness. I think, Look, I think it's going in the right direction. I believe that that there's more and more awareness in the educational side of things, and the kids are more where and the processes like the virtual War Memorial that are putting forward opportunities for young people who interact with veterans is just outstanding.
01:22:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
01:22:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely. Where will you be tomorrow, Brad?
01:22:33
Speaker 1: Everywhere? Yeah, I'm sure.
01:22:36
Speaker 32: So We've got We've got the night visual with us tonight. We've got young people that are going to be guarding the war Memorial on North Terrace from about seven o'clock onwards tonight all night, so there'll be different groups of Air Cadets, Army Cadets and girl guides. Gee I can't remember the groups all of them, but there's but they're doing it one full job coming out there and guarding the war memorial for us. Then we've got a dawn service that will if you get any dawn service anywhere in South Australia, if you hit there about quarter to six, you'll be good. And then we've got the big march at nine point thirty. Then we've got the the remembrance service at the Cross the Sacrifice, and then there's a big footy match later on the afternoon after the ANZAC drinks on the Torrens Parade Ground, so the RAA sponsoring us there and other organizations are sponsoring us there so that we can have a barbecue and a few beers and a bit of two up on the parade ground tomorrow afternoon. I think that's about That would be about lunchtime, I think. And then there's the big footy match with Port Adelaide playing against Geelong where they're honoring us with with the ANZAC appeal and supporting us all the way through there, So.
01:23:54
Speaker 4: It's worth plugging that appeal too because that raises funds for assistance to families, helping people who are struggling with things like PTSD. There's a lot of important real time work where obviously ANZAC Day is often it involves looking back, but it also involves the present day very much, doesn't it.
01:24:19
Speaker 32: It does look the ANZAC appell dot com dot au. If you want to make a donation, you can do that through there or you'll see service people around the place today and definitely tomorrow that we'll see you a badge. Please make sure that you can donate because as you said, it will support veterans in their families and the transition to civilian life. And also we operated an advocacy and a well being an employment to profile for veterans, and any donations to ANZAC a PILL always helps us in those areas. I think one of the key things is that if you've served, if you put the uniform on, we're very proud of what you've done and we.
01:24:55
Speaker 1: Would like to look after you.
01:24:57
Speaker 4: Get on your brad once what we forget. Thanks for coming on Brad Fleery, rsl SA President.

01:30:25
Speaker 4: You should read this text out well, Mike from TURINGI it's long. It's about your account of to Brook earlier. I can do it if you want, Yeah, you want to do it. I get my meat Troy Friday, my feedback Friday questions already, he says, Will and Dave. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to many stories of how OSI's punched so much above their weight when it came to contributing to a war that many felt didn't have much to do with us at all. I feel it important to share a perspective from the other side, one that makes me proud to be an Australian. My non grandfather, that is in Italian, was a lieutenant in the Italian Army. As a child to have many memories of him sharing his stories of fighting in what later became Italian colonies in Eritrea, Somalia, and Libya. I was only nine at the time. I'm now sixty five, but I understood that Italy was no different than many other European countries when it came to expansion as policies, especially with Mussolini's vision of a new Roman Empire. The reality, though, as everyone knows, is Italy didn't improve on their nineteen twenties resources and were stretched very thin, especially in North Africa. My non stories fit with Will's assertion. With supply lines cut, no food, fuel, or armaments, they had no choice other than to surrender, and although never fought against Australians. His stories concurred with what n Nett we now know about to Brook. When as a nine year old I asked him about to Brook, he went very quiet, stating that Italian soldiers had the highest respect for Australians, not only because of what they did there as Fears fighters, but because they were fair and kind hearted to the captured prisoners. It's a conversation I've never forgotten and one I felt well worth sharing today.
01:31:57
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for doing, Mike, really appreciate it. The most of the recorded interactions between the Australian and Italian soldiers backed that up. So they Australians took to Brook initially from the Italians, and then it was Rommel's forces and the Germans that tried to recapture it. Hence that famous story about the first land loss that the Nazi suffered being to the Australians. But there are lots of recorded interactions between Australians and Italians, Italians being totally bemused as to why Australians are in North Africa to begin with, It's worth remembering though there's no natural sorry, just to that point, there was no malice between those two between Australians and Italians that were there by circumstance of the Second World War.
01:32:40
Speaker 4: One of the best books about Vietnam is actually written by a Vietnamese guy called Bao Nin The Sorrow of War. Abought it years ago when I was in Vietnam, and an unbelievably good book, and it's written through the eyes of a Viet Kong soldier who has a full blown nervous breakdown after the war and can't stop thinking about one incident that he witnessed which was too horrible to discuss on air, but it resulted in him killing an American soldier. And then it's actually like a really presciant book because it's about PTSD. It's about this Kong guy who becomes a homeless alcoholic and in his mind he's just replaying all of the events, and it's just that it is the best book.
01:33:22
Speaker 1: Amazing, it's awful. All right, let's do feedback Friday.
01:33:30
Speaker 29: Friday Day feedback.
01:33:35
Speaker 1: Might do a shortened feedback Fridays. We've had so many wonderful text and stories over the course of the morning. For the Meat Trait, Shandeal and Salisbury Planes is up first. Shandel, Good morning.
01:33:44
Speaker 34: To you Hi, David, A real great show.
01:33:47
Speaker 1: Thank you Sandel, Thank you Shandal. We've really enjoyed hearing everyone's stories. Chandel. Have you ever seen a lion.
01:33:56
Speaker 34: Only at the zoo? Only at Nada? I was just recently at Menado, that's the onion place of scene alone.
01:34:01
Speaker 1: Did you see that Russian zoos story earlier in the week where they escaped from the from the display that was going on. That was just terrifying. Yes.
01:34:12
Speaker 4: In Mexico when I was sixteen, the circus came to town and we were sitting in the town square after school having coffee, and the ute went past with.
01:34:20

Speaker 16: Remembering iridescent poppies bloom with the roses lining the branches, a field of grass and one of war songs, so sad but of peace. Once more, countries they clash, and people they fall.

01:40:12
Speaker 1: Well, there's Helen with their met tre Friday winning a call and a nice recitation of that piece of poetry as well in the number four spot.
01:40:21
Speaker 4: Could this affect great white sharks?
01:40:23
Speaker 7: I don't know about great white sharks specifically, but a recent study came out from Brazil fourteen sharks with high levels of cocaine in their tissues. So I don't know if there are high enough concentrations to affect behavior, but we are definitely finding cocaine and other pharmaceuticals and drugs in our top order predators.
01:40:41
Speaker 1: Wow. Well that's genuinely terrifying. That was David floating the concept of the cocaine shark live on the air. That turned out to scientifically have some basis fish behavior changing because of cocaine leeching into waterways, smugglers losing some of the of the drug overboard, and yeah, the prospect of the cocaine shark introduced this week. Number three had.
01:41:05
Speaker 8: An interview job interview.

01:41:17
Speaker 24: I just answered the.
01:41:18
Speaker 36: Phone and I was reminded of an interview, and I jumped straight onto teams. But I forgot to put the pants on and unfortunately always exposed.
01:41:30
Speaker 1: Job of interview gone wrong. I still one of the more memorable calls we had this week. In the number two spot, we have a fireman's calendar, except ours has been customized because a number of the firemen have my face cut out and put over the top my face on their bodies. We made it myself with the glue sticky and presented it on air live without giving you a permission for the ridicule of hundreds of thousands of people, which, to our living understanding probably constituted a series of breaches.
01:41:59
Speaker 26: There.
01:42:00
Speaker 1: The HR people were not prepared for our real world example. Yeah, we kind of derailed the HR meeting earlier this week when they tried to talk about things that were dos and don'ts in the office, and we realized their fictional example was a real life lived one for us. The number one.
01:42:15
Speaker 30: Spot, the barks got louder and louder.

Elrick entered the room and ped to be wearing some form of pajama sort of when you're there to try and just sort things out. He had to meet the hearing and turn the camera off for a brief moment while he attended to the dogs. Yeah, mister and missus Elrick would it wasn't their best night.
