    I liked watching Dibnah knock chimneys down - less bothered with his later stuff.

    When I was working at Bolton Gate Company I met him in reception - he'd quoted for demolishing our chimney in the Mill yard, they'd knocked him back though, he was too expensive.

    Ooh yes I saw that. Good bit of telly and the work those chaps did was top class. (Impressed that they lined up the slots on the screws).

    oh I'm sure he does, but there is genuine love of the subject. He was like a little kid working on the steam engine.

    I usually enjoy most things he does, his enthusiasm is infectious.
