Hope there's no one on the pavements when he does a U turn.

Excellent!

I wonder how many people would need to hang on the end of the ladder to
lift the front wheels of the van off the ground?

How much effort would it take to rip the roof-bars out of their
mountings?

I think he actually said "Δώστε μου Î*να μοχλό αÏ�κετά μεγάλο χÏ�ονικό
διάστημα και μια υπομόχλιο στο οποίο για να το τοποθετήσετε, και εγώ
θα σχίσει το καπάκι από αυτό το φο�τηγό."

Hmm, yes that type of overhand is not legal though. Obviously has not heard
of folding ladders then.
Sounds like a prop from an old Eric Sykes silent comedy.

It's a photo of a smallish van belonging to Brad's Aerials, with a set of
ladders on a roof rack - including one very long one which extends about a
van's length beyond the back of the van.

A case of "overhanging load" if ever there was one!

[I have to admit that I didn't notice the ladder at first sight because
it's partially camouflaged by the building behind. I was trying to read
what it said on the van - in case that was what Bill was pointing out -
but most of the text isn't clear enough]

That's a lot of dinghy. What was it? (Mine is only about 6...)

Did you know? There are two 'e's in Greek?

(Take that whichever way you want.)

In addition to a normal extending ladder he seems to have a very long
non extending (ans so non collapsing or folding) roof ladder (21 rungs
by the look of it).

Sounds like a prop from an old Eric Sykes silent comedy.

You could well imaging some "the plank" like antics as he goes round
corners, swatting pedestrians off the pavement!

I bet that's modern Greek. What would be the ancient Greek for truck?
