Northern hero that bloke. His programs got me interested in Britain's
industrial past, in particular because my roots are in the industrial
north.

RIP.

 

Some acquaintances in the traction engine/steam world don't speak
particularly highly of him.

 

Time Team syndrome - they'd soon change their tune if they were asked to
appear on TV with him...

I shall fire up my boiler[1] tonight and run some steam engines in
tribute.


[1] Not, in any way, a euphemism.

Looks like the "cappyitis" turned malignant.

RIP Fred.

 

More than likely. It was arrogance and not buying drinks that were the
main criticisms.

 

He's a northerner, deep pockets and short arms are the norm.

 

He will be buried at the top of St. Peter's church, Bolton.

 

Bloody steeplejacks. Think everybody's beneath 'em.

 

As opposed to suvverners, who've short arses and shallow brains. ;-)
