Lord love a duck
"What a laugh to be called at 7am to be dubbed a hero by all my work colleges and friends," writes Cassidy Construction's David Clendon, who featured in yesterday's Sideswipe as an unnamed bloke going off to save some trapped ducklings after hearing they had fallen down through a grate. "Yes I did save them all!" he says. "I was lucky to have the right gear and managed to lift the grate, it wasn't an easy task but I didn't give up. Through a small gap I lifted each duckling, one at a time, on my shovel. Job done. Everybody happy. No biggie."
