IN your quiz on May 8 you asked the question ‘What was Fred Dibnah’s original trade?’ On Saturday you gave the answer ‘steeplejack’'.
Whilst Fred might have earned his money as a steeplejack it was not his trade as he had no formal training.
In fact he served an apprenticeship as a joiner before completing his National Service.
This can be checked on Fred’s website where it states ‘a joiner by trade’ or even on Wikipedia.
Scott Shepherd, Southampton.
