A vacuum cleaner, some rag or a ball, and a piece of string...

Nah, won't work in a 4" or 6" earthenware duct that's under a road, has to
be a compressor hose to blow the ball through.

Our lads (BT) use a plastic carrier bag rather than a ball - doesn't half
fly down the duct )

I still remember the first time I saw a "duct motor" in action, years
ago as a damp-lugged BT apprentice. Damned funny things to watch
throbbing away on a concrete yard, let alone when it's a crowd of
teenagers and the odd mucky-minded Essex (Suffolk, near enough) girl.

You can if you're a Tory MP and also have a pair of stockings and some
fruit.

Before the Age of Cotton Wool I made a shed load of dosh for the local
junior school at their school summer fete with a compressor, plastic
drain pipe and some old tennis balls.

The Cannon of Doom fired balls all over the field all afternoon to
delighted kids.

Now I would be arrested for terrorism and not having a full risk
assessment done and ten million in insurance.

You mean "the missus, a kick up the arse and a torch" surely?

I'm off... please don't any of you dare tell her I said that as she's
bigger than me. And don't tell her I said that either!!!

I'll get me coat.

And you'd be done for ageism for using 'old' tennis balls...

And sexism for using any balls at all.

A hamster, sellotape and a piece of string. If the hamster doesn't run
at the sight of the sellotape then you can always find another use for
it.

But hamsters aren't much use for wrapping parcels?
