It wasn't that long ago that me and a bloke called Taffy climbed the scaffolding on the Guilford post office early one very windy morning when the monoflex stroon scaffolding was bending over the train station full of oblivious people!
The scaffolding had no boards on it and was bending about 40 feet away from the building and as it blew back we quickly wrapped a few clamps together to secure it to the building!
Me and Taffy were up there hanging on for dear life as the wind blew us all over the place!
If the people on the station platform knew what was going on above them they would have sh-t!
7 floors up we were!
I laugh at those pics from the states because the men that taught me my trade did the same thing while the building was wobbling by the 22 smashing hell out of the other end!
You only fell once in the demo!
I take my hat off to Ronnie Marsh, Harry Sayer, (one hit harry from hackney) Ronnie Dormer, Ronnie Go-Fast, Jock and Taffy!
The Best Demo Top Men i ever worked with!
If their watching Billy Sollocks says hi!
Them fkers in America wern't fit to wipe these mens arses!
They most certainly wouldn't have had the balls to do the same work!
I have to add this!
Its very hard to do your job when a 3 ton ball is smashing the floor your standing on by a man who can't see you!
Them yanks never had to do that!
