Many people think so. Many people certainly hope that there is. The people who hope that there is a monster there cal it “Nessie” Interviewer: Mrs Mackay: Interviewer: Mrs Mackay: Interviewer: Mis Mackay: Interviewer: Mrs Mackay: Interviewer: Mrs Mackay: Interviewer: Mrs Mackay: Interviewer: Mis Mackay: Interviewer: Me Smith Interviewer: Mr Smith Interviewer: 208 Loch Ness is in Scotland. itis a lake 96 km long and the water is very deep, and very dark. It is also very, very cold, but strangely, the water ever freezes. Many fish live there, so i's a perfect home for very large water creatures. Many people believe that a large creature does indeed live there. In 1872 and again in 1932 there were reports, They described a very large animal, which looked like a boat, People saw this animal in the water, swimming very fast. In 1933, Mr and Mrs MacKay saw the animal, Mrs MacKay, can you tell us what you saw? Yes, | was with my husband, and we were in the car. We were driving along the road beside Loch Ness, going from Inverness to Glasgow. What did you see? Suddenly, my husband saw an enormous animal in the water What did it 1ook tke? It had a tong neck, and a head which looked lke a snake. Could you see anything else? Yes. it" had big humps on its back Go on Well it also had a very long tail, which was splashing on the water. How long would you say the animal was? I's difficut to say. | should think eight, or perphaps ten metres long How long was it there for? It wasn't there for very long. We saw it for perhaps two or three minutes, then it went under the water, Mr and Mrs MacKay are not the only people to have seen the Monster. Many thousands of people have seen i. So many people have seen it that in fact i's now called “Nessie”. The interesting thing is that all the descriptions are the same, and this is most unusual. Everybody says i's hhatwean seven and ten metres long, and the skin ie a very dark colour It has a jong neck and 2 head like a snake. Unfortunataly, there are no good photographs of it Most people see the Monster when it's in the water, but sometimes it ‘comes on to the land. Mr Smith, | think that you live’ near Loch Ness? Yes, that's right, ‘And is It true that you've seen the Loch Ness Monster? Yes, that's right. It was in 1952. | was with my father in the car and we were coming home at night. Suddenly, we came round a corner, and we aw this.. this thing on the road! Go on. Tell me. What was it like? Me Smith Interviewer: Mr Smith Interviewer: Mr Dixon: Interviewer: Mr Dixon: Interviewer: Mr Dixon Interviewer: John Dixon: Interviewer: John Dixon: interviewer: John Dixon: interviewer: John Dixon: interviewer: ohn Dixon: Interviewer: Well it had a ong neck — several metres. long —— and great big flippers. What did you do? We tured the car round as fast as we could, and we drove away! Scientists are also very interested in “Nessie. In 1973, some students from Birmingham University came to ty and find the Monster. Mr Dixon, in 1972 you were a student at the Birmingham University Yes, thai's right. That was the year we went to tty and find "Nessie" Tell: me what you found. Wel, we had some sonar equipment Can' you tell me quickly what that is? You use sonar equipment for marking pictures using sound waves, Tell me what you saw, Mr Dixon We saw two stiange, large animals, about ten metres long in our sonar beam. Can you tell me how long you saw them for? Yes, we saw them clearly for about ten minutes. They moved very fast Anything else? ‘Yes, they dived very deep. Can you tel me what they looked lke? Yes. You won' believe this, but 10 us they looked like Plesiosaurs Plesiosaurs?... But... but thatt impossible! Plesiosaurs, Yes, | know what you aie going to say. Plesiosaurs became extinct ‘shty-five milion years ago. So, who or what is "Nessie"? Is there only one Monster, or is there a family of Monsters, and can “Nessie be a Plesiosaur? Does this mean that there are some prehistoric monsters sil iving amongst us, in the middle of Scotland?THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN (Unit 29) Characters Narrator Chaieman Shipton Voices Narrator: Chairman: Shipton: Voice: Shipton, Voice: ‘Another voice: Chairman: Shipton Voice: Chairman: Shipton: Lady's voice: Chairman, Shipton 2nd Lady: Shipton: Voice: Shipton Chairman: Shipton: Voice: 210 ‘The scene is the Royal Geographical Society in London, The time is october 1951, ‘Order!

Quentin Simpson Joan Bennet Mrs Gammon (Retired teacher) Gillan Morison Rosemary Francis (Bank executive) Mr Davidson Mr Brown (Personnel director for Moss Engineering Ltd) Chairman: Joan Bennet Chairman: Mr Brown: (Chairman: Mrs Gammon: (Chairman: Mrs Gammon: Chairman: Mrs Gammon: 212 Good moming. For the next fiteen minutes we shall be bringing you ‘our reguiar Monday morning phone-in-programme. This week Our topic is “Women at work”. To discuss this topic with me we have Mrs Winifred ‘Gammon, who is a retired teacher having spent many years teaching in a gi'school in North London. Then we have Mrs Rosemary Francis. ‘She began work as a bank clerk, but she tells me that what begun as “just a jOb' soon turned into a career. She Is now a top executive for a Yeading bank, and specializes In loans to industry. Finally, we have Peter Brown, who’ is a personnel director for an engineering firm in the Midlands, and has recently appointed two young women to managerial positions in the company. Now for our first calle. Helio, caller, wil you tell us your name, please? Yes, good moming, Mr Simpson, my name is Joan Bennet, and my Question is: Why is it that so few women get jobs as managers? ‘Thank you very much for that question. Let me repeat it. Why is i that 80 few women get jobs as managers? Mr Brown. fm to say that the most important reason in my opinion is because many people sil think that a woman's most important job is to have children. In the old days, many children died soon after being born, and very few people lived to an old age. Before we had machines, nearly all jobs ware done by human beings, and it was necessary for families to have as many children as possible. Many people saw children as the best, in fact, the only insurance for old age. Of course, these conditions have changed, but human nature changes very slowly Thank you very much, Mrs Gammon, what would you like to say about this subject? What was the caller's name again? Joan Bennet | think that one of reasons why women don't get many top jobs, Mrs Bennet, is because men belive that women are too emotional. Even (today, wien women have more freedom and equally than ever before, there ‘are many men who have stiong prejudices against them. Women are supposed to be emotional, timid, given to panic. They are supposed to gossip a great deal, and they are thought to be ‘catty’ about other People. Above all, one of the reasons, | think, why women don't get many top Jobs is because people think that they are unable to keep a Secret, and that they have no sense of humour. Do you agree with these views, Mrs Gammon? No, | certainly do not. It is quite wrong to attach these characteristics only to women. As'| know from my own experience, men gossip just as much as women do. Chairman: Joan Bennet Chairman: Gilian: Chairman: Mis Francis: Chairman: Mr Brown: Gila: Mr Brown: Chairman: Mr Davidson: (Chairman: Mrs Francis: Thank you very much for those views. | hope that you found them interesting, Mrs Bennet Yes, thank you very much We have another question now. Who is our caller? My name is Gillian Morrison, and | should like to hear something about ‘sex discrimination legislation. Can you tell me what this means in practice, please. Yes, thank you for that question. It's about sex discrimination legislation Rosemary Francis? Yes, one aspect of the Employment Protection Act conceins maternity ‘An employer cannot give @ woman the sack for becoming pregnant. If she has a job which would be dangerous for a pregnant woman, such {as being a radiologist, then her employer must offer her an alternative |b, until the baby is bom. Women also have the right to get their job back, up to twenty-nine weeks after the baby is born. They may not get exactly the same job, but they do have a right to get back to the same employer. Thank you. Have you anything to add, Mr Brown? its Miss Morison, isn't t? Well, Mrs Morrison, actually, I'm sony, Mrs Morrison. | would simply like to add that the Equal Pay ‘Act also ‘says thet women must have the same pay as men, and that women’s work must be given the same value as a man’s job. It also ‘says that women must have the same holidays as men, and must have the same conditions of work, such as shift work, bonuses and luncheon vouchers. | tnink’ we have time for one more shor question, Who is our caller Good moming, Chaiman, my name is Davidson, and | lve in Tunbridge Wols. | just want to say that am very saddened to hear all the comments by the members of your pane. My question is tis fnt rue that ho ‘number of divorces in this country is going up every year? Don' the ‘members of the panel know that there is already a very large number ‘of broken homes, and of children living with only one parent? Aren't the ‘members of the panel aware that juvenile crime is becoming @ very Serious problem in this country? Now the reason for all this Is that far 100 many women are going out to work. There are more married women at work in this country than in any other country in Europe, and this is development which ought to be stopped. | would like 10 ask the panel why they dont come out with the truth {and say that more giris should be prepared to stay at home when they get married and look after their children, This would have the added advantage of reducing unemployment, since many women are taking away tne Jobs that men ougm to be doing. Well, that is a difficut question for us to answer, Mr Davidson, in the remaining few minutes of this programme, but’! wil ask our panel members to reply. Mrs Francis? | think Mr Davidson is talking nonsense, and moreover | think he knows that he is talking nonsense. In this society we are trying to ensure that ‘women are equal to men in every respect. This means that they should bbe free to seek employment, and i means in particular that they should be able to have the jobs which up to now have been cone oniy by men. Why is it that there are so few women bank managers? Why is, 213Chairman: Mr Brown: Chairman: it that there are harly any women members of Pariament? Why isi that there are 80. few women head teachers. in our ‘comprehensive schools? Does Mr Davidson think that fs because women are incapable Of doing these jobs? Women in our society must be free 10 make their own decisions, Some may wish to stay at home to bring up their chiren. Of course, one possiblity ‘that’ men. of some men at any rato, may wish 10 stay at home and look attr the chicren, whi thei wives go out to work. Other women may wish 10 work at the same time as banging up a young family, and then there fs the possibilty that' some women may Wart "© devote themselves fo a job, and not have a famiy at al. But the most important thing Is that they should be free to make their own choice No, Mr Davidson, you will have to think again Im aid that you wil have to learn to be more up to-date, Tank you Rosemary Is there anything that you would like to say, Mr Brown? This wil have to bo.a shor answer, '™m aad Wel, Rosemary hasnt answered the first part of the caller's question, you know. i seems to me that thore is a case to be answered. None of us can be happy about the lage number of divorces, and none of us can be content to see the large number of broken homes, or the very igh figure for chiidren Iving with one parent. However, | agree with Rosemary, we cannot try 10 80ve ths. problem By ‘discriminating against women in employment ‘Thank you very much. There we have to bring our programme to an fend, Thank you very much for caling Unt next weok, at tho samo tne TRISTAN DA CUNHA (Unit 32) Characters Tristan Da Cunha is one of the loneliest places in the world.
