Fred Dibnah's house for sale
Defender:
I had the pleasure of meeting him a number of years ago. What a fantastic, funny & interesting bloke.
It would be good if his house & workshop were made into a museum & properly preserved for all to enjoy.

Fred Dibnah MBE was truly unique.
He never failed to make everything he did entertaining and interesting to anyone who saw his shows... whether they were interested in the subject or not..
He was so down to earth he was half man, half mole.
The bloke that did my LPG conversion got the job cos he looks and acts like Fred.. even to the point that he answers to the name !

Hi,
Dont you think that saying a man who was as steeple jack is "down to earth" is a poorly chosen turn of phrase.
Buy yes, he was great, makes all of us blokes in sheds know that we have a huge history of tinkering for the sheer joy of it. I hope the BBC never lose track of programs like his in the age of "Help me Anneka im infested".
