Never. We could move together to the care home and pick a nice bunch of flower off the wallpaper for every female inmate under 80.
One of the funniest moments in my life was about 40 years ago when one of our theatres was converted into a bingo hall. We suddenly heard commotion in the lobby and found two women physically fighting over who was going to have the next turn on the fruit machine. The language and personal insults were the worst I had ever come across, despite the fact that both of them were well over 80. Fortunately I was with a very senior manager from club division. He took one of them by the shoulders and turned her around, while asking me to do the same with the other one. They both stopped screaming, looked a bit disorientated and waddled off in opposite directions. The manager then said that if we put them on a collision path again, they would start chatting like long lost friends. I had enough excitement for one day, so I gave that one a miss. The thought of ending up like that really frightens me.
We were just winding each other up. scratcho could still install a new roof on the theatre that I designed and built today.
We use full scaffolds and portable towers. But my mental image of yourself and about 30 other workers, all up individual ladders and the whole lot looking like a circus trapeze act really made me laugh
