John, I don't think anyone who was in the MN would fail to recognise the MN emblen, what has got lost in the numerous posts was the discussion about a depiction of a badge with a fouled anchor which was a RN badge

Tragic !!!!!!!!!
I only hope that as we are all friends and comrades on this site and would not jeopardise it for anything. That these 2 jokers get banned from any radio station as presenters not just in Sydney but the world over. I read in today's news that they carried on playing the hoax call made to the King George V11 Hospital after the news broke of the tragic nurse who took the call Jacintha Saldanah worked committed suicide. Very sad indeed 46yr old nurse with 2 children. I hope you have the Xmas i wish for you Mel Creig/ Micheal Christian. I see they have deleted there twitter accounts lets hope they take some responsibility and delete themselves off the air waves Regards lads Terry.

If it is any consolation one of our major supermarkets here have now pulled all their advertising off that radio station.
The prank may well have been stupid, but the fact is there is a serious flaw in the system when someone can get through in such a manner. The telephone protocol of the hospital needs to be overhauled.
The two panksters have been stood down by the radio station concerned.

I see Kate came out of the hosp[ital with a bunch of yellow roses in her hand.
I came out of the Dreadnaught Semans hospital with nothing. Just goes to show there is no such thing as equality.

A nurse without a life.
Yes it is sad that this nurse committed suicide & yes the prank was infantile not in the remotest funny except in the DJ's eyes & been done before. Worse the accents were shocking. How they fooled anyone is bemusing why was a nurse on the switch board, why not a trained receptionist? Could this nurse not possibly have had much more serious personal issues to have committed suicide rather than specifically over it, could it just be that it was the last straw? Am surprised the hospital had apparently not spoken with her over it, could that be true & anyway what could they say to her about it? The advertisers pulling their adds off the radio station is a hollow joke. Do they think by doing that shopper will shop there more because they did.....? Whether they will, the DJ's be sacked or suspended I doubt it as with all of these sort of things the station will make hay whilst they can for the ratings & the public who listen to these type of shows will tune, in again sadly that is life. Either way a very sad incident with her children the main losers I'm afraid.

Wont Have That,
The nurse was obviously happy in her work and with her life. She had worked there for 5 yrs to much of a coincidence. These idiots not just these 2 i remember a hoax call made to Andrew Sachs' Granddaughter here in the UK. By Russel Brand and Jonathon Ross. Bad career move on there part i hope these 2 clowns get all the stick they deserve Regards all Terry.
