Saw a bit of this last night when I was down the gym. so no audio.
Anyway, some dodgy geezers were doing a garden feature for a little old
lady.

What amused me was that after the program makers did a "this is how it
should be done" feature where they installed a new water feature and
pavement someone stole the lot. Hmm, which dodgy character with a truck had
recently been at the house?

Also it would have been interesting to know what they spent on the replacement
rockery. Me thinks a tad more than the £2500 the customer wanted to spend.

They needed double the number of workers to finish the job in the alloted
time. That said, the sort of project i=involved is hte sort of thing I've
done in a weeked by myself. Much of the re-work was ********, for example
the renting of a skip. Why in the name of $DEITY? When I did a similar
water feature and rockery at a previous home the dug up old concrete
pavement was used as the structural element in the new rockery, saving a
fortune in good stone which only needs to be in a location where you can
see it.

The new scheme also used hundreds of bedding plants which is damned silly
in a rockery.
