    Because it is ridiculously dangerous and illegal to put a small child onto a roof to promote your business, and it seems without the parents permission, can you not see that?

    Then to put a great big picture online for all to see is mind blowing.

    I work on roofs day in day out, being sat on the ridge like that is bloody stupid.

    When I was about 8/9 years old I lived in a detached house and regularly sat on the ridge tile when playing hide and seek. At our school if the football was kicked onto the roof the janitor and teachers told us to go and get it.

    Now it's all political correctness and grass up anyone you disapprove of. Still if it gives people a feeling of self importance and superiority, go ahead.

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    While many people have "free" minutes, if I am on Pay As You Go, I sure as hell bet I would be charged.
    If you're so concerned, contact someone yourself.
    If you can't be bothered, then why did you bother to post it?
    I did contact "someone" myself thank you.

    You see no irony in that? By posting it again here, you just give it more publicity (or was that your intention all along?)

    If (when) I do really stupid and illegal things I do not post pictures on the internet showing all and sundry, that would just compound the stupid.

    However I am more than happy to show and discuss other people doing stupid and illegal things if that is their choice and wish.

    So, no that is not what irony means, not American or Alanis Morissette are you?
