BBC Guernsey’s mid-morning radio programme was broadcast live from the Herm Trident ferry on Friday 27th August. Jim Cathcart, the presenter, boarded Herm Trident V at 9.30am just as his programme started and did a series of interviews with people on board travelling to and from Herm. Whilst the boat was unloading he chatted to some Herm residents. The 12.35 arrival on Herm was VERY busy with arrivals, mainly coming to stay at the campsite for the bank holiday weekend. I managed to get a photo of White House Hotel head receptionist, Linda Gijsbertsen being interviewed by Jim. Just before the interview started Linda had a surprise meeting with one of her ex-tutors from her college in Holland! He had just arrived on Herm for a short visit and hadn’t been expecting to see Linda at Rosaire Steps!
There were so many bags being unloaded that a chain was formed right to the top of Rosaire Steps. The truckies earned their crust yesterday!
Jim Cathcart’s programme can be heard on the Listen Again page of the BBC Guernsey website http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p009j51g/Jim_Cathcart_27_08_2010/
