...and the results are in! Here's Mark's photo again just in case anyone's reading this without having looked at the start of the thread.
I was amazed at the number of entries, and it was extremely hard to pick just one winner. These are some of the ones that especially made me laugh, but didn't quite make top spot.
?Just belt him one over the camera, then we can get on with the digging? - Roger W
"That's right sonny, hand it over and nobody has to get hurt, because that's what's going to happen if you play the whole of tubular bells on that roof one more time." - rsch
?Look what I found buried in the rubble. The handle is engraved with someones name.... I think it says J.Lloyd, I wonder who that was?? - Big Jim
?Cavers become BT's last resort to get broadband to rural homes.? - Frodo
And the one I picked out as my personal favourite:
"Dismantling our own dig just to try win a conservation prize from UKCaving? Extreme, don't you think?" - TLH
So well done to TLH (who I have no idea of the identity of) - I think that means you've won some Buffs and a copy of the excellent Berger book. Perhaps Badlad or Pegasus will confirm that though?!
