The BBC Again
I meant to post this a while ago, but only just remembered!
A few weeks ago I saw a report on BBC News about the restoration work done on Nelson's Column in London. The reporter was perched at the very top of the column and may have been giving the Pulitzer prize-winning, purple prose laden report of his life. I didn't notice as he was wearing a fluorescent jacket and a hard hat.
Now, 'So what?' you may well be wondering...just think about it. Nelsons Column is around 300 yards to the nearest building and is itself propbably that tall (really should check me facts, eh). However, stood in the peak of Nelson's Titfer attired thus, two questions struck me about the reporter.
1.0 What was he going to bang his head on?
2.0 What was going to run him over up there that necessitated a hi-vis jacket?
