0:00:10 > 0:00:14It's goin'. Goin'!
0:00:14 > 0:00:17HONKING
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Done for!
0:00:38 > 0:00:40Do you like that?
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Looking back on it, Fred Dibnah, the Bolton steeplejack,
0:00:59 > 0:01:04reckoned the time after his divorce the worst in his life.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Livin' here alone weren't much fun.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13I'd go home, put my pie in the oven, put the kettle on, watch the news
0:01:13 > 0:01:19and try and keep the time for going to the pub as late as possible.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Usually, somewhere around eight o'clock,
0:01:21 > 0:01:26I'd roll down the pub and join the other divorced characters.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30I realised you couldn't go on like that for ever
0:01:30 > 0:01:35or you'd become just another bloke who props the bar up,
0:01:35 > 0:01:40with not a lot to show for your life on this planet.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Then, Sue arrived...- Hi.
0:01:44 > 0:01:50..a social worker, ready to take an intelligent interest in Fred's steam workshop.
0:01:53 > 0:01:59- This is my mechanical hammer. - CLANKING
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Wow!- When in doubt...
0:02:02 > 0:02:05And here, we have drills.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15CLANKING DROWNS SPEECH
0:02:18 > 0:02:23This is my wonderful steam-engine thing.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28It's a bit mucked up at present. I've not cleaned it for months.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Yeah, come on...
0:02:34 > 0:02:38I first met Fred at a big steam rally in Cheshire.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43It was in the middle of all the divorce problems and everything,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46and Fred was, in fact, VERY drunk.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51He looked awful. He was sad and miserable...
0:02:51 > 0:02:53quite a pathetic sort of figure.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57None of the bounce people knew him for.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03He invited us to a chimney felling and it was the one at Oldham -
0:03:03 > 0:03:07the one that he nearly brought down on the top of all of us.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Didn't you work your camera?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Well done! Congratulations!
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Shortly after that, a friend rang me and asked me
0:03:34 > 0:03:39if I'd like to go out with him to give him some support,
0:03:39 > 0:03:45because he was going to Halifax to talk to the Fred Dibnah Appreciation Society.
0:03:45 > 0:03:52When we arrived at this pub, there were lots of men similar to Fred -
0:03:52 > 0:03:56all wearing flat caps and smoking Woodbines.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I remember waking up in the middle of the night to a terrible row.
0:04:00 > 0:04:08Everybody had been hopelessly drunk. The landlord and landlady were throwing things at each other.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12The projectiles were going through windows!
0:04:12 > 0:04:19It sounded like there were a war on. When we got up, all the windows were broke. I'll never forget that.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24They married. And in 1987, their first son was born.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31Having learned, like, that my new wife were pregnant,
0:04:31 > 0:04:37the first worry were, would I be a proper father, as you might say.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Anyway, little Jack plopped out. Beautiful, you know, in good nick!
0:04:42 > 0:04:47He's an exciting feller who likes almost everything I do.
0:04:47 > 0:04:53- I can't do it, Da-ad. - You can't do it, Fred? Oh, right, where do you want to go now?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57This vicar friend of mine at Kirkby Malham,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00he had a problem with his flagpole.
0:05:00 > 0:05:07We went over to fix him up a new flagpole. While we were there, he said, "What about a weathercock?"
0:05:07 > 0:05:13OK, we'll make you a weathercock if you christen the little lad
0:05:13 > 0:05:18in his 800-year-old font which, of course, he did.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22While there, we were also fixing a lightning conductor.
0:05:22 > 0:05:28As we were digging for the earthing strip, we dug up somebody's bones!
0:05:28 > 0:05:32So we had a reinterment ceremony.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38I don't know who he were. Oliver Cromwell had been there so it's an old church.
0:05:40 > 0:05:46SUE: Fred had some really bad traits when I first met him.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50He was terribly self-centred and thoughtless.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55A silly example is, he would go to the pub and we'd be with some people
0:05:55 > 0:05:58and he wouldn't buy a round.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03He was SO busy talking about himself that he wouldn't get his money out.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I felt so angry with him.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Other things that upset me - because I could see they were damaging -
0:06:11 > 0:06:15were his bad habits of drinking and smoking.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20And, em...I eventually persuaded him to cut down on his smoking
0:06:20 > 0:06:24and of his own free will, he said, "I'm going to give up."
0:06:24 > 0:06:30To encourage him, I got him presents every day that he didn't smoke.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35Then, I'd a relapse. I went to look at a chimney stack at Great Harwood.
0:06:35 > 0:06:42The demolition man came up and he'd got two in his mouth and an American flame-thrower lighter.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47He lit 'em and before I knew it, I'd the thing in between me lips.
0:06:47 > 0:06:54I thought, "I might as well smoke the damned thing. This is definitely my last."
0:06:54 > 0:06:59When I got home at tea time, I said to Sue, "I've had a smoke today."
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I explained the tale. Ooh, very upset!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I've never had a cigarette since.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10I think I'm a slightly reformed character from what I was.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- Look at these swanky gates! Aren't they posh?- Yeah, aren't they nice?
0:07:15 > 0:07:21- Beautiful!- He's makin' it all into, uh...yuppie houses, you see.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24The chimney's round the back.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26How tall is it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:31We worked it out yesterday, me and Donald...sorry, me and Neil.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37- It's about 100ft high, I think. - Look at the lightning conductor.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47Stick it in that corner there and then we'll go and do the honours.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50You get up the hill wi' Jack.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54That's it. Right, we have it.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Now, you get up the hill and leave it to us.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Jack, look at those cows over there.
0:08:17 > 0:08:23What'll they think when the chimney falls down? They'll be surprised.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Look, they're looking at the fire.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I want to smoke for the last time, John.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51We went to the first chimney when he was about 18 months old,
0:08:51 > 0:08:56the first chimney that he really knew what was happening,
0:08:56 > 0:09:01and he watched the chimney fall down and as it hit the ground, he said,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03"It's all gone!" and started crying.
0:09:03 > 0:09:08We went home and we had a few people, and one of them had a video camera
0:09:08 > 0:09:13and we ran the video back onto the television and he was SO upset.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Fred was so proud. He said, "He's like me. He hates destruction."
0:09:21 > 0:09:23OH!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Oh, Jack.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Didn't have time to blow the hooter.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It fell in December, in the blizzard.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Fortunately, it went straight into a snowdrift at the foot of the tower.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- It had a lucky escape, then.- It was.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It's a bit out of shape,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- but nobody will notice that up there.- No.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Right, I'll send a rope down after.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Cock-a-doodle. Shout it. It's red!
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- Hello, there! - JACK: Cock-a-doodle!
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Cock-a-doodle! Cock-a-doodle! Cock-a-doodle!
0:10:36 > 0:10:41- Come on, Roger!- A second son, Roger, was born in 1991,
0:10:41 > 0:10:47letting Fred in for another year or two of morning marches to the nursery.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52It doesn't bother me, shoving this pleasant, little chap about.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55He never complains.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00He only ever cries when he's hungry which is a natural thing to do.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05He's similar to what I were when I were little - a pleasant fellow.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Just went off later on in life!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I'm sometimes taken as the grandad.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16That's a bit embarrassing when they say, "Are they your grandchildren?"
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Are they buggery. They're mine.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I'm in good condition - of breedable quality.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Now, then, here he is. - Hello, Roger.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- I'm not sure if he'll want to stay. - He will! ..Are you going to play?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Your mam's coming at tea time.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I'm off before he starts squeaking.
0:11:38 > 0:11:44It's a long time since Fred himself went to school in the ragged 1940s.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47The war was on, food rationed,
0:11:47 > 0:11:52everything wearing out - a cold and dreary time -
0:11:52 > 0:11:57but warmed for ever in Fred's memory by a gift from an old man -
0:11:57 > 0:12:00a beautiful, model steam-engine.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10One Sunday, I remember having it in the parlour on a card table.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15It were whizzing round and in an attempt to get more power out of it,
0:12:15 > 0:12:21I wedged on the safety valves a die-cast, Dinky toy car
0:12:21 > 0:12:26that had the effect of holding the dead-weight safety valve down.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29It was going like a bat out of hell.
0:12:29 > 0:12:36Mother and Father were listening to the Albert Sandler's Palm Court Hotel. It's 8.30pm, Sunday night.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Bloody great bang and the Dinky toy blasted off up into the sky
0:12:41 > 0:12:46and stuck in the ceiling, followed by a big plume of boiling water.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51All the globules of water dripping off the ceiling onto the couch,
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and the best, shiny, parlour table.
0:12:57 > 0:13:04I didn't wait long before Mother arrived and a great bollocking for mucking up the ceiling.
0:13:04 > 0:13:12We had a patch on there for years after - a little piece of paper stuck over the dinge in the plaster.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16An introduction to me and the steam-engine.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- Whereabouts do you come from? - I'm coming from Germany.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Now in his mid-50s, Fred had become a man of some fame
0:13:27 > 0:13:32and his workshop, a place of pilgrimage.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37I was lucky to find two steam rollers. I've got a Rutmeyer and a Zetmeyer.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Have you had to spend a lot of money?
0:13:41 > 0:13:48Not a lot of money. It was very cheap to buy compared to English prices here.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- It's expensive. - They've gone a bit daft.- Yes.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I only gave 170 quid for that one,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57but it's 20-odd years ago.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Aye, now, they've gone berserk.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07It's becoming some sort of tourist attraction, this here garden.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11You know, we get all sorts of people round,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14you know, coming to have a look.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18A few weeks ago, we had some American visitors
0:14:18 > 0:14:22who professed to be American steeplejacks.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26They set bloody fire to the parlour carpet.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32They brought their video company with them to do this interview
0:14:32 > 0:14:38of the Americans interviewing me as an English, sort-of-eccentric, steeplejack
0:14:38 > 0:14:44and, of course, all their tattle were a different voltage than ours.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46They're supposed to have an adapter.
0:14:46 > 0:14:53They plugged this gubbage into my electrical system and we'd been at it for half an hour,
0:14:53 > 0:15:00when suddenly, there were the most unbelievable explosion and the bloody carpet's on fire!
0:15:00 > 0:15:04We did well out of that. We got a new carpet.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12- < What did your family think of your job?- Mother didn't like it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15She wanted me to work in an office.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Next question?- Right...
0:15:18 > 0:15:22What part of your job do you enjoy best?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25..Putting the ladders up, I think.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Putting them red ladders up the side.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33..What are you doing with Gilnow Mill?
0:15:33 > 0:15:38Oh, well, in the very olden days, before your school were even built,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42there were two big chimneys where your school were.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And it's a rather exciting story.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I sort of knocked the wrong one down.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08You start on that side, there's a good lad.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12You'll have to rub harder than that, Jack.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Jack was now four and making progress in his education.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Dad?- What?
0:16:18 > 0:16:23- I see some sign of rust! - No rust? That's very good, Jack.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I see some sign of rust!
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Jack's a damned nuisance round here.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33In his way, he's trying to give me a lift,
0:16:33 > 0:16:38but if I put the spanner down, it disappears round the corner.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41All sorts of weird things happen.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45You know he's had it. But he's got such a good memory.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50If you knew he'd had it last weekend...it's amazing...
0:16:50 > 0:16:55and if you say, "Where's that big lump of iron with three holes in?"
0:16:55 > 0:16:57he'll go straight to it and find it.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01One fault, though, is he likes digging holes,
0:17:01 > 0:17:07especially if it's raining, there's bloody holes all over full of water.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10He's a frustrated coal miner.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17WHISTLE BLOWS
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Hey, that were all right.
0:17:24 > 0:17:30Fred's actually succumbed to a bit of, em...domesticity?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Is that the right word?
0:17:32 > 0:17:37Em...if I ask him to hoover, he makes a super job of it.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39He does much better than I do,
0:17:39 > 0:17:44and because he's a perfectionist, things like that are very good.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The brass work's his responsibility.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52And window cleaning! I never, ever clean windows.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55He loves twinkly windows.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Things I wouldn't ask him to do...
0:17:57 > 0:18:01I wouldn't ask him to change the baby's nappy
0:18:01 > 0:18:08because Roger wouldn't like to be stood on his head, which is how Fred would do the job.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17Some things have changed, you know? I've got a more up-market wardrobe.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22Instead of one suit and a waistcoat, and various pairs of jeans,
0:18:22 > 0:18:27I've now got a grand selection of pullovers and cardigans
0:18:27 > 0:18:32and two pairs of shoes and various caps for doing various things in -
0:18:32 > 0:18:38appearing in public in posh caps and going to work in dirty caps.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43I have a wash more now than I used to. I have a shower every night!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Years ago, way before I was married,
0:18:48 > 0:18:54I would have expected my husband to do more than Fred does in the house,
0:18:54 > 0:19:00but I never envisaged the sort of lifestyle that I'm leading now.
0:19:00 > 0:19:06The general consensus about this sort of sharing things in the home,
0:19:06 > 0:19:11I think, doesn't really hold for much when a person like Fred,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16who is doing a very hard job, comes home cold and wet.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21You know, he's been out really grafting hard all day.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Sometimes he'll come home and he'll have busted his thumb with a hammer.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31You couldn't expect him to come in and then start doing housework.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I just don't think it's fair.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39You've got to strike a balance. Ours is about 90-10.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Me for 90% housework and Fred for 10.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- All right?- Good morning. - Everything OK?- Not so bad.
0:19:48 > 0:19:55We've got the ironwork up and all them iron rods and the castings will stop any cracks getting worse.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00How long will it be before you finish?
0:20:00 > 0:20:06Give it a fortnight cos we need the ladders. We're off to Cambridge.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Movin' on! Fred Dibnah International! We get about a bit!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13HE HUMS
0:20:22 > 0:20:26You're not doing it right. Just a minute.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Basically, I'm like a Victorian.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50This feministic outlook, I don't think you can escape from it,
0:20:50 > 0:20:57but the Victorians... There were more of them sort of working for a living then, than what there is now.
0:20:57 > 0:21:02The lady's place was to be at home getting the tea ready.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Now, half of them buggers come home and they have to get their own tea.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12All these, "I've just come home from the office, darling.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17"Your tea's in the oven. I'm going out to the bingo."
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You know, it's a weird situation now.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25It's a bit like the end of the Roman Empire, innit?
0:21:25 > 0:21:30They all either turned homosexual and went queer,
0:21:30 > 0:21:34and went into a great nation of pleasure seeking
0:21:34 > 0:21:39after they retracted back to Rome from all over the world.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44They learned us how to have baths and underwater floor heating.
0:21:44 > 0:21:51Then, they went bloody mad and now they make racing cars and washing machines. It's the end of the road.
0:21:51 > 0:21:57We've had OUR day. I don't want to seem a die-hard type of person,
0:21:57 > 0:22:01but if you think about England, you know,
0:22:01 > 0:22:07the perfecting of the steam-engine in 17-odds, early 1800s,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11made England lead the world in engineering
0:22:11 > 0:22:14from about 1790-odd to about 1914,
0:22:14 > 0:22:20and I think ever since then, we've been going a bit down-brew.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42 You're cutting all the prickly tree! Yes, I'm cutting the prickly tree.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51SUE: Do you know you've to sing?
0:22:51 > 0:22:56What do we sing? I don't know. Course you know, Reddy.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00# Happy birthday to you... # BABY GARGLES
0:23:00 > 0:23:05- He's singing!- # Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, dear Daddy,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08# Happy birthday to you. #
0:23:08 > 0:23:13- Blow the candle out first. Blow it out.- Oh, right.
0:23:13 > 0:23:19- Do you feel a lot older today, now you're 54?- It's better than being 55.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- BABY SHOUTS - You, shut up.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I really think this is you!
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- Like a...- It's bloody...- It's like a dress!- No way I'm wearing that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36No, no, no.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I don't want one. It's not my style.
0:23:39 > 0:23:46- Look, some nice ties!- Leave it there. It looks like a bilious attack. I don't want any of them.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Oh, just your colours!
0:23:50 > 0:23:55- Oh! Very nice, very modern. - No, no, I don't want...
0:23:55 > 0:23:58How about, em...
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Look at that!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I'll stick to long johns, I think.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10- Right, come on.- Where's the jackets department?- Let's look over here.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15- Look at these.- They're all too light a colour.- I like that one.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- Yeah, if it were dark blue.- Yeah...
0:24:18 > 0:24:25- Can I help you, sir? - I'm not looking. My wife's looking for a jacket.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29A sports jacket. It needs to have some blues in it.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33About a 42-44 chest. 44.
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- It's slipped down a bit.- The best thing we can do, if you don't mind,
0:24:38 > 0:24:43is slip your jumper off and we'll try a couple on you.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53- Just pop this one on.- I'll put my cap back on.- Turquoise and black.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58< I don't think it's appropriate to keep your cap on!
0:24:58 > 0:25:03It' OK. We get all sorts in here. < Oh, Fred!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Does that feel comfortable?
0:25:05 > 0:25:10It's all right but it's too long. I'm glowing like a Belisha beacon.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15- It's gotta be very dark. - More sober. The check's a bit loud.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- It wouldn't last five minutes, this. - No.- A bit thick of stuff as well.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25The problem is, now you're coming into summer, everything's lighter -
0:25:25 > 0:25:28colour and weight, you see?
0:25:28 > 0:25:33- I'm very- old-fashioned. I'd noticed but I didn't like to say anything.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36FRED LAUGHS
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Let's have a look at some caps. Here you are.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45..Here you are. Take that dirty one off.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47That's it.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52- Let's have a look. - It's too big, that, you know?
0:25:58 > 0:26:04I rather like my oily cap. It has a smell all of its own.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08I've been in pubs and people have said,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12"What's the flash point of your cap?" You know?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16When I'm doing some blacksmithing,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20occasionally, I take it off and I get hold of some hot iron
0:26:20 > 0:26:25and it sets on fire, you know! There so much oil in it!
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I think it's really a replacement for hair.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33If I go on holiday without my cap,
0:26:33 > 0:26:38I feel as though somebody's shaved all the top of me head.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44On occasions, I've been so inebriated after days out with this load of old iron,
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I've ended up in bed with it on.
0:26:47 > 0:26:54One day, at work, Fred's cherished cap rounded on him. It was like being savaged by a trusted dog.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I've had a bad do with me head.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01I came out in red blotches the day before yesterday.
0:27:02 > 0:27:08Me and the wife were in the building society, withdrawing £2,000 to pay the income tax.
0:27:08 > 0:27:14I don't know if it were the shock of getting the money out or what,
0:27:14 > 0:27:19but I come over faint and she said, "You're worrying about the money."
0:27:19 > 0:27:23I came home, had a stiff whisky, come to bed.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28I were goin' worse. All these red blotches all over me bald head.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33Doctor arrived and he said, "You've got scapular cappy-itis," or summat.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I said, "It must have been me cap!"
0:27:36 > 0:27:43It landed in a puddle of water on top of the spinning mill, full of dead pigeons and stuff.
0:27:43 > 0:27:50I'd wrung it out, like, put it back on. By dinner time it were dry and I'd forgotten all about it.
0:27:50 > 0:27:57Apparently, some germ had got in the scratch that were on me bald head, and gone underneath me skin.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01If it gets round to your eye holes, it makes you blind.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06He gave me medicine and luckily it stopped before it got there.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12So I still feel a bit groggy but I'm on the mend definitely.
