More cuts

I lived in a "new town" i.e. one giant building site, and I do remember there were a few accidents, and a few dead kids in the paper, although nothing I saw on building sites personally compared to my sister putting a garden fork through her foot, or the kid from school who somehow shorted the overhead railway power cables to the bridge using his body.

As the tester mentioned, an element of natural selection.
 
He survived, but he wasn't a pretty sight. I wonder how much time has done to heal the scarring.

Anyone remember that public safety film about that stupid kid who chucked a frisbee at an electricity pylon and then climbed up to the live wires to fetch it?

When they showed that at school we all shouted 'good riddance, yer prat!'

It was quite strange about 25 years or so ago when they started closing a few mills and being invited in to blow bits up and generally storm and secure the place.

We got shouted at when we were kids for trying to do the same thing. Go figure!

Building sites were great. Especially when they had those big concrete pipes lying around for you to ride your bike through.

Not to mention diesel tanks and powder actuated nail guns.

The kids who lived at Hillside gardens are lucky to be alive today.
