Whistle in the Wind: Life, death, detriment and dismissal in the NHS. A whistleblower's story

Product Information

Unwelcome sounds emanating from your windows are almost always the result of air leakage and therefore the components of your window vibrating where they shouldn’t. To eliminate windows making a noise when the wind blows, it’s essential to first identify exactly what’s causing the problem. In most cases, whistling is the result of wind passing through a slight gap in the window – and anything that can be done to close that gap will help to eliminate the whistling. Filling hollow spaces and securing things into position will help reduce the noise – so be sure to do so. The same goes for whistling noises coming from your front door. The space between the window aperture and the window frame can also contribute to the window buzzing in the wind that we hear. Hollow spaces can act as amplifiers, causing quiet sounds to get louder (think of the body of a piano or acoustic guitar). When a new window is installed, the installer will fill any gaps with expanding foam insulation to prevent this noise from occurring.

It’s the film’s theme of innocence, and Bryan Forbes’ ability to show the world through a child’s eyes, that Neil believes makes it a timeless classic.

Whistling sound problems with old sash windows

The children are discussing what it would mean if the mysterious man really was Jesus Christ, and what a difference it would make to their lives: "Long Overdue for a Miracle." They realise that if they do everything right, they could save him, and that this could be the night "When Children Rule The World." In the barn, they beg The Man to tell them a story, and he complies, telling them a story which he says will be in the next Testament, "Annie Christmas". When he finishes, they ask repeatedly what the moral is, and when he admits that he doesn't know, they offer him gifts and promise that "No Matter What," they'll always love him. The adults prepare to hunt down the escaped killer, their anger in complete contrast to the children's innocence and happiness. Whistle Down the Wind is a 1961 British crime drama film directed by Bryan Forbes, adapted by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall from the 1958 novel of the same name by Mary Hayley Bell. The film stars her daughter Hayley Mills, who was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best British Actress for this film. [2] Old sash windows tend to be more prone to creating unwelcome whistling sounds than other sorts of windows – particularly as they age. Over time, a wooden-framed sash window may begin to warp and shrink, leading to gaps forming. These gaps can allow air to pass through, which as well as being terribly heat-inefficient, will cause that unwelcome whistling sound. Christine was the oldest teenager in the cast and she wasn’t embarrassed about being recognised in the street.

The above lines tell how she asks her friend to leave everything that hunts him. He wants him to abandon all the woes and tensions that bite him and stops his enjoying the pleasures of life.

Thus, the phrase has been used with literal meanings. Example #2 In an interview with Lancashire Life in 2014, the current Lord Clitheroe Ralph Assheton, said: ‘It’s not so much a philosophy, more a wish to conserve nice things and avoid the ugly bits.
