The only thing the new generation need to worry about is laddering their tights. The Only Way is Essex generation of scaffolders, don't want to put on their v-gard in case it messes their boy band flick. Blouses.

old fred was a legend a very clever man who knew how to do his job
i loved the one when he took his wife and kids to blackpool,they thought they were going for a holiday but no fred and his sidekick joe were taking down a chimney while they sat in the van in the pissing rain
THEY LATER DIVORCED SUPRISINGLY
