[Radio Wrangler]

You may need more than a hard hat when lobbing wires up trees:

A friend in the Dunfermline club was putting an antenna up into a tree in the park for a special event station. He tied the wire to the ring end of a spanner and threw it into the tree. It swung round a branch and he got the spanner back in his face. A&E to put his lip back together.

I get on well with all the neighbours. I fix the odd thing for them and provide advice on electronics, vehicles etc. So I seem to get seen as a valued local resource. I got a lot of help when I was ill some years ago and there's usually a spare pair of hands around when I need something holding. During the recent deep snow, my range rover got most of the cul-de-sac's shopping trips done. Living in a street where everyone helps each other is, well, civilised
