If it hadn't been for a looooong string of hot bricks, the VC would have taken the Mountain in 1966, in almost factory trim. Nothing wrong with the Leaning Tower of Power either.

Not that I don’t like agriculture. School mates dad was an engineer at Tonsley Park. They all drove fast slants, if you call 85mph in second gear fast. One got airborne at 100mph over the train crossing on Brighton Road one night. Suddenly we all grew up…….

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
