    Is there anywhere left in the UK where you can still get thick wool sweaters like that? Yes, if only she'd tell me.

    Don't worry mate, we're all getting older. I jumped in the car on sunday for my Mrs to drive me up to work and as we pulled away I said, no word of a lie, "****. I've forgotten my glasses again."

    Her reply. " You're wearing them!"

    ............which I was. <doh> :emoticon-0145-shake

    You know how on You Tube you get a split screen with other videos you might like. When this one finshed there were at least three more in the same ilk. Have you seen the one in Austria with the metal staircase in mid-air which you have to climb in order to get to the summit? That is even scarierbecause you can't even hide your face in the mountainside and have to be extremely disciplined not to look up into nothing or down several thousand feet back to land.

    Not done that before but here is the link. Paste that into your browser and it should come up. The German narrator was visibly terrified doing it

    I wonder how many people have fallen from there because there had been a shower or even worse a bit of drizzle. and they slipped This will be one where it will be just as scary going down as it clearly was for her going up.
