There were some fishy gaps and some dubious editing in it. I suspect the
British builder's other jobs were nothing like as bad as that and he
just wanted that one finished and out of the way, so employed some
casuals to get it done - bit of a mistake.

A local builder I used told me he used to be "on-call" for a tv company as a
rent-a-quote builder. They were doing a feature on an old lady who's
daughter reckoned she had been ripped off by a builder for guttering and
roofing work. My builder was asked to go and assess the job. He said the job
was OK but that he would have doen it for less but she'd agreed a quote and
that's what they charged so fair enough. When the programme was aired, some
of the guttering had been pulled apart and it was aired as a shoddy job.
This was not the case when my builder was viewing it. On the basis (as he
put it) "he has to live in this town", he has done no further work for them.
