Good point. Mr Darwin sir, I think that you need to up your game across the pond.  rubschin:

There is a guy up the road working on Miss A's house...

He needed some scaffolding to reach the roof and I arranged with my next door neighbour that he could borrow his (he has loads) for free...

But no... rather than driving 30 seconds up the road and taking the free scaffolding (did I mention it was free?) he is using the single-level scaffolding that he already had (about six feet high?) with an extending ladder precariously perched on top of it to reach the roof...  noooo:

To be fair, he has got a bag of cement at the bottom of the ladder to stop it slipping... facepalm:

If they did that then you wouldn't have as much of a chance to thin out the gene pool...  rubschin:
