Driver (stopping vehicle): Okay, time to dismount.

Keep driving, Hoskins. We're still over the river.

You can't fool me, Sir. The cables are exactly 0.3 KM long, and odometers don't lie.

When I joined the Pay Corps, I didn't realise this was how they carried out wire transfers.

Obviously the Chain of Command had trouble to get everybody thinking along the same lines.

Any Rigger will tell you Dual Blondells may be clever , but they are not as quick or convenient as a Skyhook .

When Hoskins laid a minefield across the track leading to the pub and didn't map them, it was a real spot of luck having Heath Robinson in the regiment...

Brilliant improvised crossing, Hoskins. Where did you get the cable?

Oh, I just borrowed a little from the bridge around the next bend.
