Guy opposite slating a roof. I noticed a distinctive branding on his beverages.

Dibnah used to have a few pints every lunchtime then head back up a 300 foot chimney on ladders tied to the pointing. No harnesses ropes or any of that nonsense - flat cap was the only piece of PPE he possessed 😀

He's cracked one open.

I like a drink but 5 metres up scaffolding is not my location of choice.

Saw the thread title and thought of Dibnah but beaten to it....

Here's Episode 4 'Drinking and Climbing'. 13 mins in for the drinking and climbing.

Although if he spreads them out through the day he might just be alright...

Not my choice of elevenses but it takes all sorts.

Whilst waiting for the paragliding pilots to finish their lunch break in Samoens we watched one of them neck a pint with his bagette, I made sure we didn't fly with him!

It's a bit worrying.

The cans don't look totally secure on that bit of wood.

I don't think that's what the OP meant. I think he's more concerned about the safety of the employee and the cans are clearly a tripping hazard. 😁

Yeah, I'd give it a bad review too, it's missing a load of tiles.

Maybe the safest place in the workplace for those cans is right there.

You know, in case someone else has them away sharpish.

Can't expect him to hammer straight without a couple of tinnies in him.

European M&E subcontractors are well known for wine/beer with lunch.

Meh.....

A couple of beers before lunch is the norm. Four or five beers isn't anything unusual... And that's on top of the other stimulants... 😁

Have seen that Dibnah footage loads but it’s still amazing. If you watch his movements though he’s incredibly deliberate on everything he does - consomethinge professional...

Where's he peeing it back out?

Mate who used to work on roofs all day told me he'd crap in an open newspaper, fold it up and frisbee it off the top 🙁

One of the benefits of being self-employed I guess. Although what it's go to do with the OP is anyone's guess... Step away from the net curtains ffs. Why are you taking photos of builders?

Scaffolding - he's clearly not a real roofer.

roofers in canada, or shingle bangers as they are known, are renowned for being drunk drug addicts. no idea if there is any substance to it. (no pun intended)

@scuttler - There was a jokey/serious thread where someone on UKC graded the chimney climb E11 5b he did in another film. It’s this one here at 5:30, even with a head for heights I wouldn’t try it if you paid me! 😂

For non-climbing geeks E11 - terrifyingly scary adjective grade (properly brown trousers elite level) plus not a chance of protecting a fall with a relatively easy technical grade (still hard though) as he cuts his feet loose midway whilst hanging on loose boards...

This bloke's onto something. Having fallen through a roof and landed on my homebrewing equipment and then the concrete floor I believe that it would have been much less painful if i'd had four cans (even of that stuff) before I fell.
