Mel and Perry are joined once more by Geraint Jennings, Jèrriais Promotions Officer and take a tour around the year and find out why St Brelade parishioners are 'caterpillars' and people from St Helier had the runs!

In today's episode, Mel and Perry are going to be talking to Paul Lister, he'll be sharing first hand experience of what it was like to work in a Cold War bunker here in Jersey. Hidden in a street in the heart of St. Heller, this Jersey Command Center was used to pass and receive messages of potential nuclear fallout around the UK and Europe. We are really lucky today to be joined by Paul Lister, who worked in the Cold War Bunker in the late 1980s.
