How many men does it take to change...

...a lightbulb in a church?

the answer is four -- over three days at a cost of more than 1,300 pounds.

Preaching at St Benet's Church in Beccles, Suffolk in gathering gloom, Father Anthony Sutch had to call in electricians to change light bulbs that are 40 feet above the congregation.

Because safety regulations deemed the church ceiling too high for a ladder, scaffolding had to be erected for a lengthy and costly replacement operation.

Could Father Sutch have done the job himself?

"When I was a young monk. I climbed up a ladder to have a look at something and two girls whistled and said what good legs I have. I haven't climbed up a ladder since," he told Wednesday's Daily Mail.

Can you get ladders that would reach 40 foot? :)

Fair enough though, 40ft is quite a long way up. Think how high a 15ft ladder seems.

Churches are a complete pain in the arse for sparkies.

Is he gay?

Oh yes, silly me, of course he is. Useless git.

The answer might be light fittings that can be lowered to the ground.
