Attempts to retrieve huge tin trunk from beneath surface of Windermere, believed to contain thousands of girlie pics stashed away by local hotelier's IT manager.
Good earner. Good laugh too - but you must never laugh when seeing or doing the job.
Been on the wrong end of it once. Driving a tractor and launching a 25 foot Mobo. Launched the whole caboodle cos the winchman managed to knock the winch into neutral so's I could go faster.
Happened 3 times that week (only me once)...... I got fed up sorting the poor tractor.
Then I worked the winch and the problem went away.
