micky 3,325 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I started work with Sid Aitkins Steeplejacks in 63 at £2 ,15 shillings a week , i was there for 8 months then i was took on by a local Builder at £3 a week. Fred did a good show but there is a lot more to the job than knocking Chimneys down Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borr 6,221 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 I have no issue with heights , been at a bit this week, only thing that pissed me off was slinger was on phone along with crane driver and even the labourer was at it while I'm 30m up with a steel beam. Wasn't happy , but wouldn't choose to eat my sarnies on the top of a chimney... Used to enjoy Fred and his love of steam engines... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Using all my likes right now on every bit of Fred film posted. A force of nature and 'The best of British' was Fred. Long may his memory stay in mind... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
