City Talk toss boss off the roof | Print |  Email to a friend
Friday, 29 August 2008

It seems that working everyday in their huge tower in Liverpool has gone to the heads of City Talk 105.9 .

 To support the Linda McCartney Centre and St Paul’s Eye Appeal’s annual abseil, they’ve launched Toss your Boss off the Roof and decided to try it out with their own gaffer first.  Not quite as impressive as jumping off the tower, Breakfast presenter Kim Hughes and Richard Maddock abseiled 200 ft down the Royal Liverpool Hospital.  Apparently there wasn’t too much screaming - by whom, we’re not sure.  “It was a thrilling experience though and Richard and I are delighted to have done something for this worthwhile cause,” said Hughes.   To watch the pair of them jumping off the roof, you can visit the City Talk website.
