More fallout from Jimmy Savile it would seem. I have a feeling that, like The Mousetrap, this is going to run and run ::

Questions like this always lead to subjective speculation. Lets just see how it pans out.

[DJHawkes]

having been at work all day I for one knew nothing about this and so thanks for the update mikey.
Having moved in the circle of similar DJs (and sporting heroes) in the 70s I absolutely know exactly what went on back in the day and could, if I felt so inclined, make my own historic allegations that may or may not put several ex - house hold names in the frame. But I choose not to. I don't have any real opinion on the persons making these current claims, I only know how I saw it then and see it now.

I don't really remember him that well. He is the only one I'm surprised with, so far. The others have been obviously creepy. I have another in mind, I'm waiting for...

[jno]

if there was anything illegal, shouldn't you be reporting it even if it didn't happen to you, Dot?

[sir.prize]

pixie - do you really find Jimmy Tarbuck creepy?

[DJHawkes]

nope, it would serve no purpose and I've never been a bandwagon jumper. I am in touch with 3 other girls that lived through it all with me, it was an amazing time and really just a blur, but as I say, history, some people may regret they were there but I won't, don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide.

[pixie373]

Yes

[Bbbananas]

Am liking that dot - don't cross the river if u can't swim the tide. I see where you're coming from.

The one that has surprised me is Rolf Harris.

[woofgang]

Dot, was it illegal then?

[DJHawkes]

lol i drove my car for a year with no license from 1973 - 1974, the local traffic warden used to help me with my reversing, that was illegal.

[Hopkirk]

Like Sally, I too was surprised by Rolf Harris.

That DLT is accused doesn't surprise me at all.

[Zacs-Master]

Like I said......

[pusskin]

Saville was the only one i ever found a bit creepy mikey.

[Bbbananas]

And that Stewart hall creep.

[pusskin]

oh yee, forgot about Stewart hall. Lots of pervs about aint there!!!!!

[Mattk]

Quack quack oops

[FredPuli43]

Sky News says that the CPS decided not to charge 7 other alleged offences, for want of evidence. What's left must meet their criteria, so it may be an interesting trial for the defence.

[ummmm]

Dot - 2007 wasn't 'back in the day'

[DJHawkes]

i wasn't talking about 2007, that was the date in the newspaper article in the link in the OP. I was talking about the 1970s.
