Always attach your 5 point safety harness to the top rung of the ladder.
Just a little H&S advice.

Neither.
It is grease lubricated. Perhaps my second name is Schmidt but, on reflection, it is more likely to be Schultz.

RAF humour can be somewhat unconventional. A Shackleton based at Changi in 1970/1971and the subject of an Airfix kit, was decorated so that to any interested observer it was flying on behalf of "White Knuckle Airlines."

Pa (RN for the war) was fond of telling us that the RAF always had the best nicknames. His favourite was for army types, "Brown jobs". Another I heard from a AAIB presentation "Mechanical palm trees" - helicopters.

After leaving the Sea I worked as an HGV driver.
One day I had a delivery note with just [Evans - Caerphilly] on it, so phoned the Transport Office from a phone box (remember those?) for a proper address. "Have you tried looking them up in the phone directory?" said the wise traffic clerk! Remembering I had once been at sea I replied: "**** OFF - have you seen how many pages of Evans there are in the Caerphilly Directory?" On another occasion, I was in the said Office when an agency driver phoned in about 2 hours after he should have completed his delivery. "I'm in Wales" he said "I can't find this Tunbridge place anywhere."

For some completely unknown reason, one of those PG Tips adverts (where they are moving the piano) came into my head:
Son - "Dad, do you know the piano's on my foot!" Dad - "You hum it and I'll play it, son!". Es viernes! Rgds. Dave
