Based on a true story. Set in 1980/90's England, this humorously engaging account, being the sequel to the amusing book, For A Few Pennies More, continues with Charley's first-ever meeting with a very pompous bank manager. After being made to feel like a vagrant after a bowl of soup and a bed for the night, Charley asked him to fund his first speculative building project of six luxury Tudor-style houses! Charley was soon on a roll, going from strength to strength, building and winning major housing awards. After twenty long years of struggling, he had finally made it! But then, like a bad dream, the bubble burst. Bank interest rates hit a massive 15% triggering the onset of early 1990's recession. The pound plummeted! Mortgages dried up! And the whole building industry just collapsed like a pack of cards, leaving Charley paying double poll tax on each of the ten new houses that he couldn't even give away! With no light at the end of the dark depressing tunnel, the future was looking very bleak. But then Charley didn't want to just roll over and give up. Risking everything, he purchased an enormous semi-derelict 400-year-old listed building with outline planning approval to convert into eight luxury flats. Rumour had it that the building was haunted by some troubled mysterious being or other, which in turn, led to a hilarious conversion for Charley and the boys on site!
