I remember watching this at the time in the 90s. I got the impression Bob was the sort of bloke who would back you up completely, but would be capable of delivering a very serious bollocking when it was due

Hello how long did your dad serve with greater Manchester county fire service??
@FloozieOne6 жыл бұрын
Having been present when an idiot poured gasoline on a campfire, because the wood was wet and not lighting fast enough, causing a huge blast of flame, (which not only killed but blew apart the idiot), I have been afraid of big fires. I can't imagine the courage and devotion to duty of those men who went in knowing that the tanks could blow at any minute turning them into charcoal dust instantly. I respect FF's to the max and am extremely grateful knowing that they will come and deal with any kind of fire especially when people are at risk.

Yup. I was a teenager when these were shown. We’ve recently cancelled our Sky TV due to there being eff-all worth watching. I love KZbin and it’s worth the 16 quid a month for the ad-free version as it means I can binge watch all these older shows!

you dont have 45 mins to search/deal with casualties...you have 15/20 mins at best. 1/ you need enough air to "make the return journey" and 2/ The harder you are working...the faster your air runs out.

Anyone remember Spitting Image when it was first around in the 80s and 90s? I remember they used to take the piss out of Michael Beurk by putting him in random, non-emergency situations and him doing his miserable voice-over as it happened.
