    Aye, so it do seem. Like.
    Indeed. I was captivated by him when he first appeared and although
    he could be a bit short with fuckwits and was obviously a
    single-minded sonovabitch he was always worth watching. The worlds of
    engineering and industrial architecture are poorer for his loss.

    RIP, Fred Dibnah. One of a kind.

    He used to advertise at the side of the masthead on the Manchester edition of
    the Grauniad.

    An unemployed mate of mine in Sunderland went to the Jobcentre for an
    interview. At the time, he was making quite a decent living tyvm
    doing wiring and tiling for a kitchen fitter so he didn't really want
    an Official Job. So he told the OfficeBod he was a steeplejack.

    Three days later, he was 300 feet up in pissing rain on a scaffold ...
