Funny ?

At least you don't come across many of those in the UK.

My stories tend to be of things that go wrong when travelling.

The twin-engined flight from Basle to Eindhoven with one engine coughing, the hostess on hands and knees to distribute the sandwiches and landing sideways in a strong crosswind.

Or spending Christmas eve sleeping on the floor of terminal one because 2 inches of snow had shut down London.

Or having to spend three days by the swimming pool of a luxury hotel in Niger because a politician had preempted our flight out.

Or taking senior managers to the really deepest levels of a very wet, very muddy mine to teach them safety auditing.

My word, but it's a fun job.

Hi
I was having a tour around a construction site for a new-build factory a few years back. The Site Manager went to great lengths to explain how much edge protection they had on site and how many ladders they had purchased to ensure safe access and egress. As he was doing this with a three storey building behind him, somebody took a running jump off the first floor slab using the pile of sand below to land in.
