    Hmm..are you suggesting he might have asked them if they had a policy with his company and if they had he would talk them down and if they hadn't, he would just stand aside? Interesting!

    Read about this guy earlier, good man though it's just something you'd surely want to do anyway if people regularly appeared at the end of your garden time and time again for one thing only?'

    good man don but may 've been a touch of the "just remember there's much younger bucks much, worse off than me!" about it too and people can easily attain hero status / feelgood factor in depressing places.. not saying don was a zero in a previous incarnation but a veritable prod in the back to have such a profound and rewarding effect is not to be sniffed at!

    -RIP Don.

    He stopped people over a 50-year period. Much quicker ways to attain hero status in fairness. ;)

    I thought this was about that lad with a tow-truck up in Kilmacanogue. Very uplifting, he stopped more jumpers going astray than the store detective at Bennetons.
