awesome what a guy, i missed a talk with him years ago in a village down the road, i was gutted. His neice stayed with us years ago, a friend of a friend from Nz long lost friend ha ha. I love how he holds onto the side of the ladder not the rungs, does anyone know why? i think i do:biggrin:

 

Why did he hold onto the sides of the ladder, not the rungs?

I was always told to hold the side of a ladder (You have got to remember Fred only used wooden ladders) incase the rug you grabbed hold of was damaged, then you would fall off. But if you hold the sides there's no chance of that happening. If you get my drift.

I'm sure there's a beter technical reason, but the obvious one that springs to mind would be the fact that there's a good chance of getting your hands covered in what ever the last person put there via his boots.

Its one thing climbing that ladder, I have the most respect for the bloke who put the ladders there in the first place. Although that was probably him as well.

Or your own boots, you do have to come back down the ladder.

Fred wasn't the kind of bloke to worry about getting muddy hands. Whenever I saw him on telly he had more oil on his hat than i've got in my car.

The ladders would be ficed by Fred. Used metal spikes driven into the mortar joints then roped together using polyprop or hessien rope. One of my friends was involved in the digging of the mineshaft in Fred's garden. Apparently he was an interesting character.
