    Just so. With a clear understanding that if it all goes pear-shaped, *no
    one* is coming in after you, you're on your own.

    I'd give it a go, in their place.

    The authorities seem very slow dealing with the problem
    considering that the Viet Cong repaired bombed bridges
    on the Ho Chi Minh Trail overnight.

    It's easy to say nobody would try to save them or go searching for the
    bodies but the reality is that rescue teams would feel obliged to do
    so.
    So would I if I was faced with getting out of bed an hour earlier to
    go to work.

    The army should blow the bridges up and be done with it.

    There would be a public health issue as well. Rotting body stuck (or
    not) in a washed out car....

    Why doesn't it surprise me that it was two white vans and a Jag?

    working practices.

    Wasn't me, I was in MK all day.

    No way would I want to do that commute in a car every day, it was
    taking me 35 minutes to do 20 miles on the bike and I certainly wasn't
    fucking about so you could add at least another 30 by car. Not my idea
    of a fun way to waste my time.

    It's not just them though, is it YTC?

    For instance, what if a small child was innocently playing under the
    bridge when someone drove over said bridge and it collapsed? What
    then, clever clogs?

    No, they're swinging across between the abutments on tyre suspended
    from a length of rope. Probably.
    You know a bit more about mermaids than is healthy, you know.

    Well, that's easy. You find the person they stole the rope from,
    prosecute them for failing to keep it securely away from children, and
    then hang them with it.
    I think it's nice that freaks of nature look out for each other.

    Can't be _all_ of their egg-beaters because two CH-47s pass overhead on
    a regular basis.

  18. Last time I looked the RE didn't have any helicopeters and anyway they
    don't build Bailey bridges with helicopeters.
    More importantly, they would love to go and build a bridge but Gordon
    won't pay for it.

    I watched the news for the deaf the other day, and the woman doing the
    sign language had 3 goes at 'Cockermouth' before giving up.

  19. But the Woka Wokas belong to Crab Air, who don't build bridges anyway.
