Why have so many people put 'pot-holing' on their lists?
I've only ever been pot-holing a couple of times in the Peak District, but it was fascinating and very enjoyable.

Same reason others have bungee jumping on their list ... simple doesn't appeal.

'Cos i bet it's like getting in your own grave. Sod that.

Why have so many people put 'pot-holing' on their lists?

Because. Wet, dark, tight spaces. I know it's perfectly safe, but also heights and stuff. No ta.
I remember in Lanzarotte on a cycling holiday hanging on to the stone wall taking a look at the 'views' over the edges of the road/mountains, especially the 'pink lagoons' in the north - don't do heights.

Doesn't appeal - the correct term is 'sh1t scared' and I'll admit to that. Don't even like rollercoasters - but I do do them, and have no bloody choice when we go to Disney next year.

Given a choice I'd rather go pot-holing than pot-noodling.

I have a friend who was stopped in the street for a consumer survey. He was very polite and smiley throughout, but took a fake call on his mobile a few seconds into the survey.

After brief salutations he said to his pretend collocutor: "OK, take the gag off him, but he stays tied to the chair until he talks".

He hung up quickly, but by then the consumer survey person had lost all interest.

I've been waiting to do that myself, but since hearing of it I haven't been approached.

As an unconnected observation, I'm amused by the number of people who say they'll never cheat on a partner. A psychologist would have a field day with that. Fancy that thought being to the front of one's mind...

For thems that can't see themselves going skydiving OR potholing.....






Nah. On a stick.

I suppose that is an interesting observation.
I cannot imagine ever being in the position where I would want to cheat.
