      Seeing all you work Nick reminds me of this man,anyone guess who I am thinking of?
      • "Did yer like that!?"
      • " Mmmm. Aye. Oh aye. Y'know?"
      • "A man who says he feels no fear is either a fool or a liar."
      • "I realise that steam engines aren't everyone's cup of tea. But they're what made England great."
      • "The modern world stinks."
      • "We've become a nation of con men, living by selling double glazing to each other."
      • "Steam engines don't answer back. You can belt them with a hammer and they say nowt."
      • "I set out as a steeplejack in my youth to preserve chimneys. I've finished by knocking most of them down."
      • "Height gives you a wonderful feeling of grandeur. You're the king of the castle up here."
      • "I have a wash more now than I used to y'know... I have a shower everynight."
      • "I'm just a bum who climbs chimneys."
      • "Anybody who destroys anything made of stone should be prosecuted. It is not all beautiful, but it took a man all day to make one stone."
      • "Steeplejacking's a bit of a spasmodic job, so you can play with your steam engine instead. It's a bit like being very rich."
      • "If you make one mistake, it's half a day out with the undertaker."
      • "It's a funny thing this celebrity. If you don't wave back you're a miserable bugger, if you do wave back you're a big-headed bugger. I don't know."
      • "The thing is nowadays, you'll have 20 men working, yet 60 men telling them 'You can't do that, you ain't got a tin hat on'".
      • "Teaching boys to bake cakes? That's no way to maintain an industrial empire."
      • "By 'eck it were grand."
      • "Them fancy London types don't know the pleasure of eating chips with fingers"
      • "That's Bolton's biggest chimney that... and I climbed it for a ten bob wager. Never did get the ten bob though."

        Read it out to my husband Lazydog. He knew too who you were reminding us of.
        A great guy - sorely missed. R.I.P.
