Me too, much better than the Ingemar videos. It remembers me in my younger years, I also climbed high wooden ladders to pick apples and pears in the high trees of our garden (parents garden). The two things that surprised me:

• the (only) wooden ladder we had (an old decent one) was wider at the bottom then at the top, much wider
• we learned to displace it in a vertical position, not a skewed position, and now I think the way they do it in the video is much better!
• It was fun and also somehow slightly scaring to be in the top of the tree, because sometimes the ladder moved forward several centimeters between the branches.

And, believe it or not, today I spoke with the partner of my stepdaughter about the fruit picking on my wooden ladder in my youth, casualty, funny, strange, weird.

Nice to hear Jean.

Also with regards to thread coincidences; DCPU posted a picture of a snake being pulled out of a car's lining today and tonight I was watching a TV program about a vet in Yorkshire - part of the program focused on a colleague who had lost a snake in his Mercedes and they took it to the garage to have the car taken apart to remove the snake from a duct! Bizarre indeed.

For slow days and for those interested in boat building, this restoration is brilliant!

For every trashy waste of internet space, there are thankfully videos like these that add a bit of value to the world.

(edit - I'm in a cranky mood today)
