I was out today when I came across this chap up a long ladder, trying to remove an old advertisement from a large ad board. He was on his own and no one was at the bottom holding the ladder.

There were rather high winds at the time and the ad board wobbled a lot and he was trying to hold on as you can tell by the way he is positioned on the ladder. I thought there were safety rules but there ya go!

Great photo! You wouldn't think to try and help him out, though? Ah now, tsk, and so on.

Good thing he didn't fall to his doom, the last thing he would have seen might have been the bottom of the advert board, taunting him sarcastically with the word "BRAVO".

All the safety regs in the world can't compensate for an idiot with a ladder.
