To be irritated about DP and the tunnel?

DP (we don’t live together) has just moved into a new house. It’s in a right state, needs ridiculous amounts of work doing to it including a whole new heating system (currently just has coal fires in each room!) new bathrooms (of which there are 3) and roofing repairs etc etc - he kind of inherited it but not completely, he has had to pay for it but at a daft price. It’s a listed building with land, pretty isolated.

Anyway! He’s been in there a few weeks and found a tunnel in the basement that was bricked up but the bricks had began to fall apart which is how the tunnel came to light. I found this fascinating and asked where it led and he said he didn’t know. I asked “did you not go in it??” And he said “no, it won’t be anything excited”. Why would you not go in it?? I’m desperate to know where it leads!! I’ve asked him a few times to have a look and he said he has more important things to be doing - I can’t get my head around it!!

im staying there at weekend and I said I’m going to explore the tunnel - he rolled his eyes and said “ffs can you stop fascinating over that stupid tunnel?”

it’s making me quite annoyed

I'd get in touch with the local history society, they'd be really interested in this.

yeah agreed, you'll be able to find something out about a property like this surely. I really feel worried people think you should just go into it! Has nobody watched Buffy the Vampire slayer? There could be demons or vampires 😂

Living above a tunnel like this would terrify me, but would also have me beside myself with curiosity!

Could you walk upright or were you bent in half?

In other words how big was the tunnel?

Width and height etc?

Can you please provide photos 🤣

I'm really loving the remote control car and the go pro. Great visions 🤣

@RockHardCake
Are you ever coming back? You can't leave us hanging! (Unless you're stuck in the tunnel, in which case you're forgiven)

Kidnapped by morlocks! 😳

Ooo, love a tunnel! www.ricsfirms.com/ go on here and find a proper surveyor, the tech they use is pretty cool 😎

@RockHardCake - are you still in the tunnel?

SoupDragon · 06/07/2024 15:17

There is no tunnel.

tanstaafl · 06/07/2024 16:04

The only tunnel was the one we were all left in the dark in.

KnickerlessParsons · 06/07/2024 16:17

I am very annoyed with the OP.

I worked for a family who had a tunnel. From the monestry which her home was part of...down to the sea to help escapees on the run.. A mile apparently.. It was blocked off.
