Default BBC's UK's Worst

It was also different for the people affected by the Channel Tunnel
Rail Link. The tunnel passed underneath their house and caused a
massive hole the size of a house to appear in their back gardens. Not
only did this ruin their gardens and put lives at risk (luckily no one
was hurt, but if someone had been in their garden at the time then
they'd have been in serious trouble) but it also caused structural
damage to their houses. They had no reason to expect this would happen
when they bought their houses and even if they'd known about the rail
link, they still couldn't have expected that sort of thing to happen.


Nobody, so far, has mentioned that there were apparently old wells at the
back of the house and it was they which had caused the void into which the
house almost fell. True it might not have happened if the CTRL machine
hadn't been boring under the gardens but it would be nice if people would
give ALL the facts occasionally !!
