...I’ve sent Hampton down to Surrey on Oaf’s bike 3 days ago. I’m delighted to say that he arrived there, somewhat exhausted but remarkably in one piece, some 5 hours ago. He’s now monitoring the weather conditions and has followed my instructions implicitly. The intrepid Hampton is in a field balancing on the top of a step ladder, wrapped from head to foot in Bacofoil and Clutching a 20ft copper pole. His phone is permanently turned on...so I’ll be the first to know if there’s any stormy conditions brewing. I must say...well done Hampton! He may be accident prone and a bit useless but if the last 4 hours are anything to go by, the chap has ‘turned a corner’ and consequently gone up in my estimation! There may even be a Jaffa cake instead of a digestive in the shed when he returns!
