Meet The Man Who Changes Blackpool Tower Lights

ID: 1613197
Blackpool Tower is one of the UK’s most iconic structures, but this is the bright spark who keeps it glowing - by changing the lightbulbs.
Paul Boydell, 32, from Blackpool, has been scaling all 518 feet of the landmark in his hometown for the last year to ensure it keeps on twinkling day in, day out.
With the harsh seaside climate throwing 30mph wind, sand and saltwater at the bulbs on a daily basis, light technician Paul spends five days a week on the tower making sure everything is working.
The 32-year-old reckons he has the 'best office in the world' but admits his family aren't so keen on his chosen occupation.

Nice one, though Fred Dibnah would have climbed up on wooden ladders, with no safety gear and just his flat cap.
