No, the barbecue was cold by the time I used it to break my fall. I do though remember feeling irrationally proud at the time of managing to light a cigarette on the way down. None of it was planned of course, it was just a random set of concurrent events. I expect it was the Zippo that clinched it, they stayed lit in the most trying of circumstances. Still have the lighter actually, despite having had no particular use for it for many years. Don’t drink beer much now either come to think.
The Land Rover was a manual in case you were wondering.
