Anyone see the Grand Designs revisited last night. Your man got their in the end - bit strange though - project unfinished, bank issued repossession notice and a stranger offers 400k to finish project!

It was some build in fairness, amazing house when finished if not completely over the top of what he needed. Turning it into a B&B, albeit a very expensive and luxurious one, made sense and will help pay the 1m bill he has hanging over him.

Found that quite strange myself, missed some of it, did he at any stage indicate who benefactor was, family/friend?
Tbc....

No, made it out to be a complete stranger, some woman, who heard of their plight and offered to help out. Maybe she seen the original programme and wanted to see it finished. Maybe "she" is a diesel launderer and had some cash spare.

I was puzzled.

Seen it alright - kind of thought it was a bit shitty the way he got this money when there are people out there who can't make ends meet. But i can get past that and it was a very stunning home - his budget was a complete joke when you consider it took £1m in total.

PS did he say anything about northern bank notes???
