Dibnah Fear, Pet

You dont get many men like Fred Dibnah these days thats as damn sure as Strongbow. A proper working man from Bolton who sadly passed away aged only 66 (from cancer) in 2004. He was the type of man who was seemingly born with gifted hands because whatever the popular steeplejack did it looked like he did with ease. (And of course being a mechanical engineer helped.)
Watch the video (above) and you can easily see that Fred was a million miles from the type of vacuous, attention hungry celebrity on todays television screens. He was down to earth, humble and could talk at length on almost any given subject. None of those things could be applied to the reality dimwits in 2012.

1979 BBC documentary Fred Dibnah: Steeplejack.
