But when the order comes through, it's just coming through as an email to your phone. It's like, fuck now, what do we do? Right. Okay. Get to the garage. Start packing your stuff. Put it together.

   Have a guess what it sold for. Half an acre of land in the middle of nowhere. No planning permission, no... I genuinely have no, like, I've got no idea what one would buy land for.
