Quicker than waiting in the traffic though.

It's not so bad. I do it all the time normally while drinking a can of Natch also.

I'm reading Steven Brindle's magnificent book, ''Brunel, the Man Who Built the World'' at the moment.

Here's a quote from the early days of working on the Suspension Bridge.

''To help transfer materials from one side to the other, a wrought-iron rod 1in. in diameter and 1,000 ft. long was made, and pulled into position spanning the gorge, and a travelling basket hung from it, pulled by ropes. On the first day, the bar kinked, the basket stuck there and its ropes became entangled with a ship passing below. Isambard insisted that he should be in the basket which made the next run, and when, perhaps predictably, it got stuck in the middle, he swung up to the bar, to free it, high above the chasm. It was a very public display of physical courage, not unmixed with self-advertisement.''

There are no reports as to whether he he took a can of Natch with him on this mission.

Yes, I definitely agree with you. This could be dangerous for newly experienced drivers. But for the old ones, this is a great exercise. Even Tone can drive while smoking vape using his other hand. :laugh:!
