I have towed and have been towed by rope, I prefer to be the tug.
When being towed you are *very* close to the tug and really have to
concentrate looking past the tug so you can anticipate the tug
slowing and keep the rope taught. The tug just (ha!) has to remember
that the rope might be slack and pull off very gently until they
feel the weight come on or can see that the towed vehicle is moving.

As I said, both drivers must know what they're doing.

Hardly the case when I needed towing halfway across the country

soon picked it up, hardly rocket science

more of a case of ****wits need not apply, I think

That's why I would not tow another electrician home when his van packed in.
I have been a passenger when he is driving - wrong lane at roundabouts, an
emergency stop every 20 miles and a ride that you would pay money for if you
were in Alton Towers.

You re all turning into Dennis clones, I fear

I've already promised you that if you turn into dennis I'll shoot you.
That's what friends are for.
