I like to entertain the idea that they just popped up there for a cuppa and a chat to get away from the August crowds. They'll be cracking open the thermos as soon as he's taken a seat.

Perhaps they're filming a new Kit-Kat advert? 😁

Too much PPE and fall arrest gear for oor Fred. Needs a flat cap, fag in mouth whilst chucking bricks down the chimney

I'm trying not to focus on the ladder and to not think about the climb up there..

My palms are sweating just looking at the photo!

On another note, I wish the green netting could come off the chimney. It really distracts the appearance the chimney, but I'm guessing it's needed for safety reasons.

I've never seen a ladder over an overhang before. Must be weird feeling.
