Hi Vectis,

As to Kevin's rational for doubting the statistic you quoted above, I would venture that even if they was all livin' in 'ovels ( an' they was the lucky ones), like he fondly imagines, there are a whole host of jobs that involve climbing ladders, albeit that the tumbler, in person might be an' 'ovel dweller.

LTS - Liked the crack about Tudor Bungalows!! LOL!!!!

Another thing that has just struck me is this. If Kevin's candidate for most common cause of death is true, looking at it one way, there would be nobody here. Oh I see it's only the Mother that dies.

Guest Marion:

How about a Railroad worker - found this intro to a book about Isle of Wight Railways, when I went looking after I had the idea.

"Born with hopes of becoming the main, if not only, railway in the Isle of Wight, this history of the Isle of Wight Railway has almost everything. Victorian entrepreneurs tried to build their dream railway only to become embroiled in a financial crisis that almost bankrupted their fledgling company. Accidents, typical of Britain`s railways at the time, pepper the history, while the inevitable staff problems and infighting with other railways in the Island added spice to the proceedings."

Lots of scope for built in skullduggery in that lot.

Good luck with the project anyway!!!
