Much snippage

I like the cut of your jib, young RW, and plan to follow your suggestion to
the letter - as soon as I've tried the hose pipe method. Just because I want
to, and I can for it is my pole. I'm seeing all sorts of things going wrong,
most involving me getting very wet.

Well whatever way you do it without a concrete collar or weight, just
be brave enough to come back in 6 months time and tell us if the pole
is still as vertical as you put it in. The plonkers in the garden
next door did something similar and both poles are leaning inwards by
about 20 degrees.
