Eventually the topic got around politicians and their role as our leaders. The old farmer said, “Well, as I see it, most politicians are ‘Post Turtles’”. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was. The old farmer said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle.” The farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. “You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do whilst he’s up there, he’s elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder which dumb idiot put him up there to begin with.” * * * * * SCAFFOLDING Small jobs very welcome Reliable Service 7 days CITB-Construction Skills Registered Erect & Hire Domestic & Commercial Temporary Roofs All Types of Site Work Bandstand Hire Free Estimates 8 Week Free Hire £10 Million Public Liability FRIENDLY, HELPFUL ADVICE ‘We’ll beat any price guaranteed’ Mobile [phone] or 07850 953749 Office 01883 341615 [email protected] www.prjonesscaffolding.co.uk 12 * * * * * Wedding Vows . . . !
