I'm glad it's not just me. For the life of me I cannot see what possible use the printouts Mike has sent would have in determining what calls were made. I can't even work out what some of them are.
You cannot see what possible use the logs I have made available have in showing which calls were made, and when? Well, there's no hope for you then, because it cannot have been put any clearer. But I will try to explain one last time in the hope that it becomes clearer?
What you have are records in the form of metered call logs obtained from WHf, which show the different types of call made from there at different times of day, on different days during March 1985 (commencing from 19th March 1985). There are / were different times of the day when these metered call logs refer to, when calls that are / were charged differently to the customer. Details of the calls, were / are recorded in sequence, and give duration of each call. Three relevant periods during the day and night, headed, Cheap rate, peak rate and standard rate. What this allows the police to do, is find out how many calls were made from whf during the cheap rate period, between 6pm on Tuesday, 6th August 1985, and 8am, on Wednesday, 7th August 1985? For the record, police found out that there were only three calls made from the scene during this cheap rate period, and the activation of the attack alarm. From information provided which gives details of the duration of these logged calls (metered call log records) it enabled the police to determine that the first of these calls was of a considerably long duration which they found out related to a call made from the scene by June Bamber to her sister Pamela Boutflour. This call was followed by a very short call, then a longer call which corresponded to the one made by Ralph to the police at 3:26am, and the activation of the attack alarm - this sequence of events as recorded in the metered call log from whf for that particular day (7th August 1985), satisfied the police that the information contained in that log related to (a) the call from June to Pamela, (b) the call from whf to Jeremy, (c) the call from Ralph to the police, and (d) the activation of the attack alarm which sent police scurrying to the scene at 3:35am (before Jeremy made his own call from 9 head street to the police a minute later)...
Sequence of events as recorded in the metered call log at whf during the relevant (aforementioned cheap rate period) being:-
(1) - call by June to Pamela (10pm) - Tuesday, 6th August 1985
(2) - call made from whf to Jeremy's cottage - Wednesday, 7th August 1985
(3) - call made by Ralph to police (3:26am) - Wednesday 7th August 1985
(4) - activation of attack alarm from scene received at Witham police station (3:33am) - Wednesday, 7th August 1985...
Police were able to obtain a similar metered call log record relating to the telephone records at Jeremys cottage (9 Head Street, Goldhanger), for the same relevant period, between 6pm on Tuesday, 6th August 1985, and 8am, on Wednesday, 7th August 1985, as follows:-
(1) - call by Jeremy to Julie Mugford - Tuesday, 6th August 1985
(2) - call by Jeremy to Julie Mugford (about 3:30am) - Wednesday, 7th August 1985
(3) - call made by Jeremy to the police (3:36am) - Wednesday, 7th August 1985...
The details recorded on / in the metered call logs shows the duration of each call made, in the sequence the metered calls were made, information which the police were satisfied related to the calls listed here...
Nothing could be any clearer, or simpler...
