The Bosuns Call is a whistle used to make announcements or pipes in @RoyalNavy which used to be used for all sorts of things. Such as to inform the crew to get their food whilst it’s still hot, hence ‘piping hot’ and at the end of the day when all must be quiet we ‘Pipe Down’

It’s not over when the whistle blows. Every game is broken down, every call is reviewed and dissected. Beyond the Whistle streams 6 November on the RFL YouTube channel. In partnership with @AcmeW

People think referees just show up and blow a whistle. In reality, they’re some of the fittest, most committed people in the game. Beyond the Whistle, a documentary going behind the scenes with the RFL’s match officials, streams 6 November on RFL YouTube! #BeyondTheWhistle

Had a fascinating visit to ACME Whistles today, learning about their incredible history—from creating the world’s first police whistle to exporting 6 million whistles a year! Great to meet the team at @AcmeW & see their craftsmanship in action. A true Birmingham success story🔔

Training in bad weather conditions is a must . See if your dog runs straight into the wind! Can the dog hear the whistle ? Ask those questions & more to find out the answers . @Skinnersdogfood
