I certainly shan't! And thanks for your concern.
Apart from the point / question which I was implicitly making / asking in my post, I do recognise that all those years ago, the knowledge we have now is not what it was then. And not long ago, that was very relevant here. Shortly after we moved to this house, it was necessary to replace the roof & timbers on an out-house that is here. The roof was corrugated asbestos. (Some evidence indicated that this structure dated from the mid-1960's). I had it removed by a specialist and replaced by a builder using tiles. The cost of the removal and disposal of the asbestos was almost as much as the new roof!
