The 28-stone Liberal MP was hoisted up in a special chair to prove the strength of a new pencil-thin rope at a Manchester textile exhibition. But despite being insured for £1 million, Cyril was taking no chances. �Five feet and no bloody further�, he instructed the crane driver.� (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
