Dad Down.

The old man's currently in Hereford hospital with a seriously mashed up
nose & a body full of bruises. His four-poster ramp toppled over
sideways & landed on him! Luckily there wasn't a car on it at the time.

Parents - who'd have 'em.

They're a worry, aren't they?

Was there anyone around to help him?

Krusty wibbled:

Ouch.

I trust you'll be round there PDQ to give him a right royal bollocking.
[1]

Wishing him well . . . . .


[1] As he would have given you when you were a lad

 

It sounds hideous, was this a professional ramp in a garage or a
Clarke's job at home?

 

Champ says...

I don't think I'll ever really reach middle age then, my kids will
always come first.

 

Ouch.

Was it anchored down properly? It's nearly impossible for it to do that
if it was.

 

One would think probably not then...

 

Hope he gets well soon...

 

Surely you've come once before your kids have?

 

Gyp says...

<opens second black book and writes title - "First against the wall">

 

Just about 50/50 at the moment, so yes, agree 100%.

 

"Of course you're not dear. Now, next time press the button a little
earlier!"

 

... and I won't, on account of being an orphan.

HTF did this happen?

 

Aye, but lucky by the sound of it.

My dad certainly is. Phone calls from mum in recent years have included:

"He's fallen off a table at the Munich beer festival & broken his leg".

"He's had a stroke".

"He's had another stroke".

"He's fallen off his bike & been run over by a tractor & trailor"[1].

And now this. I think I'll have to give him a stern look next time I
see him.

[1] That was the really nasty one. Many, many broken bits of body.

Yes, the bloke who caused the ramp to tip over. At least they think
that's what happened.

It was a professional one, but at home, iyswim. 'Home' in their case
including a huge workshop.
