    I just broke a fingernail. I don’t see anyone offering to fund my next bottle of rum as a result. 🙁

    Are you having a laugh? Whip round for middle class man with broken ankle or whatever it is – get a grip ffs.

    Give it to charity instead.

    He could spend it on shovels and wheel barrows. I’ve not seen him working on that bike park for at least a week, maybe it would motivate him.

    I tend to save my whipround donations for people facing financial hardship as I think thats the main reason for the. I don’t think there are many on here in that situation.

    What would be the point of a whipround for this guy?

    He did say his ladder was broken too.

    Maybe we could each sponsor a rung or something and get him a new one?

    Fair enough if thats the reason, I thought it was to put money in an envelope scenario.

    you want a whip round for someone ive never met and dont know, cos he fell off a ladder.

    i empathise, 12 weeks out broken is harsh.

    i have nothing more than empathy. sorry

    EDIT: Im in a good mood, so im willing to club together with 499 other regular posters, for a penny a piece, towards a box of choccies.

    well, i dont know why he was up the ladder, why he came to be on the floor more quickly than expected and what impact any of this has on his life outside of riding………..

    so sympathy is on hold.

    Yes there was mate (for the charity he supports). I raised well over £500 thanks to the generosity of the forum folk.

    Stick me down for £50, those african kids i’ve been sending money to can rough it for a couple of months, they’ll understand 🙂

    Cleaning the gutters has priority over the cleaning roof, however it should be undertaken after cleaning the roof as debris and detritus from the roof clean will accumulate in the guttering system possibly reducing the effect of the guttering’s ability to dispose of rain water during a heavy downpour or storm. I also wonder why the roof was being cleaned and the state of the guttering if the roof clean had been started as we’re going in to the winter months.

    What’s wrong with him then? I thougt he’d broken his ankle and was comfortably off?

    I fell off a ladder once, we’ll not strictly true, the ladder slid down the wall with me holding on most of the way – ladder hit ground, I hit ladder at considerable speed. I have some big scars to show for that one.

    I wasn’t cleaning the roof though as I get people in for cleaning jobs. As this chap has to do his own cleaning perhaps we should have a whip round.

    Well it was a couple of years ago but cash/chocolates/card would be appreciated. I’m still suffering the psychological affects so paper money only, no loose change.
