Where did we lose our sense of adventure, our curiosity? Where did we go so wrong?
"I'm glad I don't do that for a job" declared a casually dressed woman strolling past. Snappel, Loops and I stood around the cover inspecting a shaft, legit in thigh rubber and viz. We looked at each other and laughed. A job, we do this for kicks. I presume the though of descending into the dark warren of victorian brick has never crossed her mind. Offer her a thousand pounds and she might give it serious thought, offer her an afternoon of adventure in a storm relief sewer with no costs, no contracts and no strings attached and she'd look disgusted at the mere suggestion.
