Good God. I didn't know any of this.

BTW, my solution was to buy a scaffold tower. Ladders are scarey.



Jesus, what is this with ladders? The only accidents I've heard of round
here are to do with people used to heights who get sloppy e.g. stepping
off ladders at the top when they thought they were at the bottom
(probably while listening to Radio 1). D-i-yers are the least likely to
have accidents I would have thought.
