Some of them are so good that I have been recommending them to friends, neighbours. people I meet in Flood Meadows who are taking their dogs for a walk, shop staff who's eyes I catch and who fail to scuttle out the back of the shop quickly enough and even the Household Cavalry in London (as they just have to stand there and take it ;-)
So, rather than proselytize on a one to one basis (very inefficient - efficiency ed), thought it might be worth bringing my list to the world (or rather the guy from Alaska who reads the blog according to the statistics - guess it might be those long winter nights).
The first batch are simply essential watching, the rest are worth at least one watch and I have attempted to categorize them as best I could.
Simply turn you brain to on, and enjoy [please note that using heavy machinery whilst watching these videos is not recommended]
