The one on tonight looks like a place on one of my regular cycling routes in Dinton, Bucks. A sort of ruined tower which has been rebuilt over the past few years. Should be a good one if so...

So 15% of budget on groundworks!

It was the listed people he mentioned, but it sounds like their both as bad as each other.
