Who needs edge protection?

Spotted this morning in a town in Warrington, England, two men working on the first floor façade of a shop, kneeling on a very narrow ledge.

We questioned the reader who took the photograph and he confirms that the two are still there this afternoon and are now using a ladder to reach the spot. The photo was taken on a mobile phone a 9:59 this morning and emailed directly to us.

hard to know how someone can work on such a tight ledge?

It is hard to understand how anyone would even attempt to do something like this, we assume that they climbed out of the open windows to reach the spot. We sincerely hope that the vans parked out front do not belong to the two jokers on the ledge. Since they carry the name of one of the most safety conscious and professional companies in the country.

Definitely one for the Death Wish series. Hopefully these two will complete the day driving home, rather than being scraped up off the pavement/sidewalk. Someone will know where this is, as our correspondent has not said, and if you know who these two are a quiet word in their ears might be appropriate.
