Not one of your usual requests.....

We are road building at our permanent site near Canterbury. We need a road 
roller to compact the road bed and then squash the scalpings that we use for 
the road surface - steam would be more fun, but Diesel would do just fine. 
Naturally, it would make common sense to use a roller based in east Kent, 
preferably of  a smaller size. Anyone any ideas about how we could contact 
such an individual? We would be delighted to pay for fuel and a bit more 
besides & very happy to help with publicity for the owner(s).

Regards,


Kim Siddorn.

Or failing that I'll give you the editor's tel # for the Road Roller 
Association - he'll sort something for you I would think. I'm in Cheshire 
and don't know anyone in your area.

Well there's a few owners of irish pogo sticks on this group who may
be in the area.
The thought of a group of vikings leaping about on those is
particularly Pythonesque.

That is indeed a wonderful image! I can't remember if this link to some 
of these devices in action at Astle park has been posted before but here 
it is anyway:-

Thanks Julian, I've e-mailed the Road Roller Association  off their website.

Just the contact I needed - I knew someone would know!
