many years ago, ( over 25 actually) i worked for the local authority on drains / sewers etc, and we went to one new place that was just built, they had run a length of 3" pipe for about 200 yds for telephone cables electricity etc, never thought to put some rope through it before they buried it, so the builder who was a mate of my gaffer asked us to come up to try and run rods through, way too tong a stretch.

 

So i went home, got one of my ferrets, tield a length of fishing line to his locator collar, and dropped him in the bottom end, not many minutes passed before he was out at the top lol. one happy builder, two very amused sewer workers , and a hefty backhander into the arse pocket lol.
