Indeed Kev, we paid ours off when I was made redundant, that was 19 years ago now.

Well done Kev! I remember when we finished paying for Hey Farm.... A bloke asked me why I looked so cheerful and when I told him why he said I was a lucky bugger. I'm afraid I gave him the rough edge of my tongue. I said luck had nothing to do with it! Where was he when I was doing over 80 hours a week.... Answer, in the pub!

See THIS report on 'Britain's Kindest Plumber'......
A firm run by a man dubbed "Britain's kindest plumber" breached multiple fundraising rules, a year-long investigation by a regulator has found. Depher Community Plumbing and Heating CIC, founded by James Anderson, was investigated by the Fundraising Regulator following multiple complaints. The firm posted on social media about fitting free boilers for elderly and vulnerable people in Burnley, making Mr Anderson a viral sensation at the height of the UK's cost-of-living crisis. The posts brought in at least £2m in donations, but a BBC News investigation last year revealed some of the stories shared online had in fact been faked. The Fundraising Regulator has now confirmed it investigated 13 possible breaches of its code. Gerald Oppenheim, chief executive of the regulator, told the BBC: "Our investigation into Depher CIC found the organisation had committed eight breaches of the code of fundraising practice; particularly those provisions concerning misleading information, evidencing the claims made by the organisation, and ensuring that restricted funds were used for the claimed purpose."
