Mike Hunt and Wayne Kerr
As stupid single cell molusc undergraduates at out local pub, we used to phone the bar maid and ask if she could give a shout out for Mike Hunt, to see if he was in the bar.
This was before mobile phones, there was a phone kiosk in the entrance foyer
She used to walk around the two bars shouting. Has anyone seen Mike Hunt.
it was hilarious
