Hi  All
 
Just thought I  would share  a little  safety tip I worked out today.
I was called to  remove a swarm of  bees from  our supremecourt.
This involved  walking over a steep roof carrying all sorts of odds
and ends. I slipped a lot.  This was not so good as I was three
storeys  up on steep arched roof. I saw some honey in my basin that I
always take for waste comb. I smeared this on my shoes and did not
slip again.
 
For aybody else doing removals in funny places you may  find this of
use.
 
Keep well

Time = Honey
 
After careful consideration, I have decided that if I am ever a V.I.P
the I. may not stand for important.
(rather influential, ignorant, idiotic, intelectual, illadvised etc)
