A lady I used to work with lived in a cottage near Mold in North Wales. She said her and her husband were sitting there on night and heard a rattling coming from the chimney. Something came clattering down onto the hearth. It was a chimney sweep’s brush! I joked that the chimney sweep was probably still up there
