don't go out with your carbon fibre pole in that then!

I was ALMOST struck by lightening once, it was when i was using ladders.

It was a red hot day, the rain came down suddenly and it started with the thunder like right above my head.  I packed up my stuff and was putting it away while thinking "It isnt a good idea to be carrying these big metal conductors around really" (the ladders)

A few minutes later a church just yards away was struck, if I hadnt have been near it, maybe it would have been me.

My friends call me Tuppence Clean
