Probably found that one in the dentist’s waiting roomWhy would he pay for another if he already has one?
Hope the owner of the house was well compensated for the destruction of their family home...Reminds me of my time as an engineer on the M25, early 80's. The boss sent me down to oversee the demolition of a big house right on the centreline of the m-way, which needed to be levelled so the surveyors could peg out the centre line. I was to meet the "man from the electricity board", to get the leccy disconnected before the house got demolished. Got there, big CAT 245 ticking over and champing at the bit. Got the house flattened as directed. When I got back to the site office later in the day, the boss asked if the electricity got disconnected from the house ok. No I said, the man didn't turn up so we disconnected the house from the electricity. He laughed, 'elf n safety wasn't a big issue back then.
I hope they didn't panic.....and remembered their towel!!Hope the owner of the house was well compensated for the destruction of their family home...
Highly unlikely. It was in a very prosperous part of Surrey too. Many people lost their houses, some just parts of their gardens. One old boy in his eighties and an ex-housebuilder, completely dismantled his house and moved it further back from the motorway and rebuilt it before the job started. That impressed me immensely.Hope the owner of the house was well compensated for the destruction of their family home...

And my claim to fame; the only time I ever went onto a golf course in my life, was to plough a motorway through it . (with apologies to any golfists out there).
Comp purchase by councils are never market value and non-negotional...the reverse of that BITCH Thatcher...I hope they didn't panic.....and remembered their towel!!
