Tom, read this at your liesure but do not open the "R" section, it can be a bit rude, and i know Jack's can be easily upset because of their Christian upbringing

Glad you're in work and it's obvious your giggle reflex is still functioning.

Yesterday, out of the blue, my Dad said to me "Do you know that during the war they employed lady steeplejacks because all the men were in the armed forces?" Has this been documented on OGFB or elsewhere? Is it true? Is my Dad pulling my leg? (It has been known.)

Its untrue Tizer,steeplejacking was a reserved occupation so many of them didnt have to go to war,although it was only the select few..
