There's even a word for doing this on a big scale in the
States. When a digger unearths and breaks a mains
or digital cable its called 'backhoe fade'. Backhoe is
a digger bucket. I've always liked that.


My mate Eric did that in the Beeb.

It was Bangor he blacked out; funny thing is he could never see the funny
