Found an old but fully working ladder... any takers?
Can put your tools and materials on aswell. Good for working at height and tray work.
@Pete999 this looks like the sort of thing you would have had during your apprenticeship!

Saw a guy at the Edinburgh Fringe balancing on an aluminium ladder...he pulled off the plastic end-cap from one of the uprights and pulled out some nylons, saying, "oops, I've got a stocking in my ladder!"
 
I worked in my former primary school a few years back.... They had a huge pair of metal fold out stepladders for changing lamps in the hall- must have been 10 feet high or more. Heavy and near impossible to carry on your own.
I used them once, but couldn't keep my balance.

Anyway, the old janitor had them out one day for something when we were there... There was a little nudge - luckily no one was on them at the time - and they came crashing down and literally flattened my tradesmans cantilever toolbox...
I think every school round my way had them at one time or another they weren’t made by Ramsey ladders where they?
I remember working for the council round here and getting an emergency call to one of the primary schools one of the ceiling lights was threatening to fall down and a speaker tile had already fallen on a poor wee boy and ripped through his calf after someone had booted a ball off the suspended ceiling - yeah in a gym hall :rolleyes: I remember balancing on top of them trying to get the light back in the grid and I can honestly say I’ve never s**t myself so much in my life. Spent the next 3 weeks sticking catenary wires on all the light fittings in the school after that.
 
GJH, I think I may have solved your xmas present problem:

My xmas list consists of large amounts of aftershave. My shelf will look like the house of frasers beauty counter after xmas! Got to smell good.
I have been a good boy this year!! Well i think i have anyway..
Whats on your letters to santa?
 
Yes, MFS.- Ramsey ladders. Made in Forfar and more metal in them than the Forth Bridge.

Had to be careful closing them up. The folding parts could take a finger off
I have an old Ramsey double extension ladder from a school it was going to be skipped so I took it rather than let it go it’s very very bouncy though :rolleyes: it weighs a bloody ton feels more like steel than Alu with the weight but it’s definitely alu.
After using it for years I’ve treated myself to a nice shiny new triple extension no more bounce :) I do still have a little set of Ramsey steps bloody solid as well 5 treads and a platform sturdiest set of steps I’ve ever owned by far
