We wear gumboots around sheep.... if ya stick their back legs in yer gumboots they cant get away from ya....

Safety First. Back in the 80s i worked for an American offshore drilling company, and we had the oldest drillship in the world for a refit in the oldest shipyard in the world in Malta. Shipyard workers all wore flip-flops and shorts, and carried canaries in cages when they had to descend into tanks. There was bare wiring of all voltages and forgotten welding cables burning puddles of steel on the decks, and they swung loads of deckplate overhead held only by handfuls of soft line. Fires were a weekly routine, but I never saw or heard of anyone getting wiped out. Even the drive to work and back was a road race with inches to spare. ..B.

Definitely a kiwi thing...we're known as sheep shaggers. Heck, even the local hot rod club call themselves 'Ram rodders'! Make what you like of that....incidently, I am definitely NOT a member!

No cliffs here. But the roof of a mobile home works, corners are best.
