My goodness, how did those neighbours stop themselves from throwing him in his 'swimming pool' and filling it in! I wonder what happened next? 

[bookbinder]

Send him to Rwanda.

What an absolute bustard.

I love the way divs like this put it all down to bad luck. Someone once said.......

"Good luck is when opportunity meets preparation, while bad luck is when lack of preparation meets reality."

I'm thinking of taking up brain surgery. Nice indoor job. I've got my copy of 'The Ladybird Book of Neuro-Surgery'. 

Can't be that much to it surely?

^^^ I was hoping that you'd see this thread, TB 😊

The heading on the video dates it to 1981. That's just the sort of house for Homes Under the Hammer.

[The Builder]

Thanks Chris  🤣

Priceless isn't it?

[Atheist]

Builder; I hope it wasn't you!

[Barsel]

That is truly shocking. I would love to see the outcome of it.

[Atheist]

Barsel; the outcome was about fifty years ago, and the bustard went on to become a multi-millionaire (his name is now ******)

[The Builder]

I wondered that myself Mr A 🙄

But with a beard like that and 1981 hair..........  no chance  😎

This story is just crying out for some sort of follow up programme or newspaper article.

Wow, jno. All looks lovely now. Storm in a teacup.

[Barsel]

I wonder if he got his swimming pool?🏊‍♂️

[jno]

probably on the top floor.

[Buenchico]

The Google Street View image is of a house further down the road.  The higher-numbered houses (including number 50) were demolished due to subsidence.

The 'builder' in the video eventually drowned when his home-made harness failed as he was lowering himself into a well!

[Barsel]

Seriously Chris?
