Shop owner takes demolition into his own hands following delays.
When someone far cleverer than us described the UK and the US as “two nations divided by a single language”, they really hit the nail on the head. But there’s far more separating Blighty and the Land of the Free than mere language, as is evidenced beautifully illustrated by the following story and video.
Here in the UK, a shop owner frustrated by the slow pace of some internal demolition works would have a number of options open to them. First they would “tut” just loud enough to satisfy themselves but certainly not loud enough to alert anyone else. If this doesn’t work – and it rarely does – the next course of action is a disappointed shaking of the head. If progress still remains slow, then the British shopkeeper has but one option – A stern letter (not an email).
On the other side of the pond, however, a more direct form of action is available. You simply climb behind the wheel of your pickup (and what proud American doesn’t have ready access to a pickup) and you set about doing the demolition yourself.
As YouTube user Pirate4x4Lance writes: “So our buddy Bob is moving his shop next door to ours. It used to be a butcher shop, and it was really disgusting. Bob decided he would have everything but the office and bathroom tore out. “The work crew was taking too long, so I took over,” Bob says.
