[Margaret Pilkington]

My Dad used to sweep the chimney and he had a lot of canes that slotted together.......he put these down the lavvy hoping that the hen would perch on them and he would be able to lift it out.......but everytime he got the thing within arms length it fluttered off back to the bottom.........we also tried filling the kitchen sink in order to prime the tippler action, but that didn't work either. I can tell you there was a lot of very unchristian language that Sunday.......but it was ever so funny!
