All joking aside toilets, vehicles, windows etc are all fairly easy to repair/ replace

Yes, if you have £175,000 in cash/insurance.

But what about all the hassle, stress and messing around - not so easy if you take the whole issue into account.

I feel for them and it certainly isn't a joke!

But then:The court heard how Crook had been sacked after moving an aircraft in a hangar - something he was not qualified to do.How can you get sacked for something so minor? There must have been more things that happened before he got fired...

Does it matter?....He's supplied irrefutable proof of his own irrationality.mental instability, lack of perspective, violence and generally flawed personality.....the only question i'd ask......why the fxxk was such a retard dingbat employed there in the first place?

Of course it matters. Surely someone wants to find out what made him react the way he did. I certainly don't believe for one minute he got the push for moving an aircraft in a hangar.

A very good question and one which the owners of the BFC must be trying to fathom out.

Like all these kinds of stories, there is more to this than meets the eye.
