One for @secondmentions I reckon - firstly John Humphreys labels Fred Dibnah “Britain’s fearless steeplejack”, but in a follow-up report from Sue Lawley we get the switch to “chief chimney toppler” 👍

In 1983, an orange cat named George got stuck on top of a 160-foot chimney in Bolton, England. Fred Dibnah, a famous steeplejack, tried to rescue him, but George wasn't making it easy. After a 30-hour standoff, George was finally brought safely back to the ground.

BBC News: Fred Dibnah foiled by ginger tomcat, 1983

"It's stuck on there with bloody glue, I'm sure... and fear." Fred Dibnah's early attempts to rescue the stranded cat from atop the 160-foot Bolton chimney stack had failed.
