Toronto...
.....I was, yer honor, guilty as charged. I was doing the commentary from the lakeside base, my first ever!! The "anchor" was a chap from CBC.
"Right rossian just remember there's a million and a half people listening out there" I froze!
He smoothed in and asked me about myself, where from etc. My cool returned.
Then the bloody crew went adrift from Trenton to the show - site four and a half mins late in a six minute slot. Extemporise extemporise .... That's when I was grateful for the latin teacher who made us translate on sight while he threw chalk at any mistakes - coolth under pressure.
As I walked away from the dais I was met at the fence by two women who had been in school with me back here. "recognised your voice we did". Happy days.
