Poor guy. But what was he doing up there? The radio was reporting this with some joviality this morning, obviously it did not end well.

Out of curiosity I streetviewed the area and came up with this. https://www.google.com/maps/@54.8902...7i13312!8i6656
A picnic table/bench on one side of the street - in the parking bay - and on the other side (if you pan around) three women have set up chairs and are just sitting there. I've never seen anything like that before.

I read on another news site that it appeared he had slipped and had one leg caught in the ladder and was dangling upside down... now that's what you call a head rush 
Poor bloke.

The question is how did he get there, the place was supposed to be closed off and fenced to stop people going there.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I see your changed avatar Mike. At our local remembrance cross I've noticed that the wreaths left there last November are still there (at least they were a couple of weeks ago). Any idea about that? Last year was 75th anniversary I think was there some sort of protocol of has just nobody bothered to remove them, I realise you might have no idea, but I saw the remembrance poppy and thought you might?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I always suspected this was the case. Living near a major road and worse air. We live on a major road, and 2 blocks from the port and based on the black soot that builds up in the apartment, that cannot be good for the lungs. Its not regular household dust.
I have also found I have more respiratory issues in this apartment vs others we have lived in.
