One thing about Dibnah is that the guy is clearly not phased by
heights (understatement of the year award awaited....).

When I was a wet-behind-the-ears young electrical engineer, I started by
supervising two or three line gangs. Imagine my surprise and horror to come
upon one gang on a bright summer's day where one of the linesmen was doing
a headstand on a 6" wide steel crossarm fitted to the top of an 'H' pole
(two poles at 6ft centres) some 30 odd feet in the air. No belts, no ropes,
no nothing! A definite tightening of the sphincter that day......
