ChrisF Posted November 6, 2004 Posted November 6, 2004 I could not agree more with all of the above...Fred Dibnah was an interesting and colourful character. He always gripped me with his enthusiasm and made me smile many times...a sad loss Quote
taffy Posted November 7, 2004 Posted November 7, 2004 Top bloke! He will be very sadly missed in these days of "you cant do that because of health and safety". Bang on! Rob Quote
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Yeah a great loss to the world Met him 3 times over the years around Oldham, when he was dropping some chimneys near my home, had a chat with him while he was doing his prep work, proper bloke and a Joiner as well what more could you ask for Quote

I went to school with his nephew and we got a ride on the back of the steam roller once when he was en route to Warrington Steam Show. Excellent bloke and never lost touch with his roots. I feel i've lost a connection with the old country. Quote
Fat Albert Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 One of the few who in becoming a personality appeared unaffected by fame, I respected him for his knowledge and his honesty In particular his gentle, almost imperceptable contempt for PC struck a chord So long mate Quote
Buzz Billsberry Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Agreed his programmes were excellent I for one will miss his shows Buzz Quote
