I go along with what you say Lynn.

Also, it's not morbid curiosity that makes me ask what kind of overalls can do that to a man? It's a desire to find out the circumstances of the accident so as hopefully there will be no repeats.

I tried to kick-start a discussion on Land Rover instability and suspect tyres for the same reason.

We've lost a couple of good people in preventable circumstances so far this year, one in a forklift accident and one in a rollover as well as almost losing a couple more, one down a mine shaft and now Bob who's future is still in doubt.

Cautionary tales do serve a purpose, perhaps we can start there. One I know of is to do with a fellow HMV enthusiast who was using a wire wheel to clean up a part and believed he'd finished. When he took his goggles off he noticed a spot he had missed. He didn't bother to put his goggles back on as it was only going to be a few seconds work. The result was a wire buried in his eyeball with just the end sticking out.

I will finish by simply saying. C'mon Bob, we need you.

David
