Dad stories"Do anything good for your birthday?" one of your friendly B3TA moderator team asked in one of those father/son phone calls that last two minutes. "Yep," he said, "Your mum." Tell us about dads, lack of dad and being a dad.

Dangling dadWe had a problem with our chimney so my Dad hired a scaffolding tower so he could fix it. When Mum saw how high it was she forbade him to climb up without first tying the tower to a tree, and with me there to hold onto it. I was sitting reading when Mum calls from the kitchen that Dad is shouting for me to go and help him. I amble round the side of the house to find the tower leaning at a 45 degree angle, secured only by a rope passing round a small ornamental cherry tree, and my Dad hanging off the top-most platform, legs dangling. Somehow I manage to right the tower and Dad climbs down. Shaking and white-faced he turned to me and said, "Don't say a word to your mother".
