Alan Eaglesfield and The Joy of Motoring

Do you know Alan Eaglesfield? Are you Alan Eaglesfield?

A little less than a year ago I wrote a post on this blog about how Alan coined the phrase 'Spaghetti Junction' when he was a sub on the Birmingham Evening Mail. As I recall, I took the information from Wikipedia (naughty, I know).

Then, earlier this week, I received an email from Paola Rezzilli, an assistant producer for a TV company currently making a programme for BBC4 called The Joy of Motoring.

Paola is hoping to speak to Alan about coming up with the phrase 'Spaghetti Junction' but doesn't know his whereabouts or a way of contacting him. I told her I would put a request for information on this blog – and here it is.

So if you know Alan Eaglesfield, or if you are Alan Eaglesfield (and want to contribute to a TV show called The Joy of Motoring), please email The Engine Room or leave a comment on this post.

No, I'm not, but someone had to do this!

I'm wondering what it says about my work day that every hour or so I keep checking back to see if you've found him...

I think it says that this blog is even more exciting than your (undoubtedly thrilling) work day.

I don't think Mr Eaglesfield particularly wanted to be found.
