Talking Point: Stuck in a Hole?
Created | Updated Sep 25, 2003
Accidents happen, as you will know if you have ever watched 999 with Michael Buerk. You set out for a nice day's hill walking, but it all goes wrong when you fall down a pothole with no way out. Your colleagues have called the emergency services who are on their way and you are none the worse for the ordeal. The only thing is they might not get to you for sometime.
How on earth are you going to pass the time?
If you were stuck in a pothole, who would you want at the top, talking you through the cold lonely night?
Would you go for a family member, your partner or a celebrity?
Would you choose a Hollywood action hero, a famed raconteur or your teenage crush?
What home comforts would you want winched down to you, while you wait for someone to dig you out?
Would you choose a nice cup of tea or a hip flask of something stronger?
What would you do while you are waiting?
Would you want your fellow walkers to keep you amused?
Or would you demand a Bluetooth enabled laptop to keep in touch with h2g2?
