Wet feet.

Earlier today, an exceptionally high tide turned works warehouse and parking areas into a bathing area. All car owners, bar one who had dissapeared, were duly informed and sensibly moved their cars.

Our rescue effort involved one of our electricians using a pair of buckets as a substitute for Wellie Boots. This was a great plan until, as you can see from the photo, some idiot in a 1963 LandRover drove in and created a tidal wave.



The poor lad saw it coming and let out a scream long before the icy waters drenched his feet, I hid my head in shame as the amassed onlookers crumpled in laughter.

I, however, kept my feet dry by driving straight back into the warehouse after the heroic rescue, which you will be able to read more about on More Power, the blog.

M of VL wants you to know that she has put the first comment on the new blogspot.

Also, like TOCO before, we were FOCL over the buckets for boots incident!
