Watching these gives me the same feeling as going over a hump back bridge.

I have to hold onto my puter desk tightly just in case I fall off.

Like lots of people i have seen Freds series over the years and still fascinated how he erects the scaffold till the chimney's demise but i prefer to stop on the ground and wouldnt like to do anything like it.

Yes Tom it made me smile when he said its pretty comfortable up there like being on the ground.

I just think Fred was amazing. Very brave aswell - i'm not a fan of dangling in mid air climbing a ladder that high.

H&S would have a field day with that now , You must have three 'points of contact' when working up ladders now . so unless you can work on handed you need a harness as well as a hard hat and all tools attached to you in case you drop one .

Nah Dave, that's got something to do with Dragons Den. Saw the brush thingy on a trailer for the prog.
