Fred Dibnah, Steeplejack.

When I were a youngster... I used to do the steam rally circuit with my old motorbikes. He'd often be in the bar all night 'holding court'. He could tell a great tale, a true raconteur.

We're still proud of our Fred 'ere in Bolton

Go past Freds old house quite often, he was a legend wasn't he.

Lived a simple life & was very happy just to do his job.

I/we, watched him blow up a chimney stack once back in the 70's, as kids then it was a special event.

I'm kinda hoping Rich will rise again, but back to your point...
...I think Freddie and Fred are on their way back. Maybe an infants' teacher could inform us.

There is a Fred in jnr's (Henry's) school class, along with a Xavier, Harrison, Ellis and Simpson..
