    80K for a hole in the ground, they must be on drugs. To be honest, I wouldn't pay 11K either, living in Yorkshire we are surrounded by dozens of old Pit sites and brickworks which all had great big clear blue ponds(well not all clear blue.!), which as kids we lived in. most are still there and know nature reserves or fishing ponds so who needs a heated swimming pool... Lol

    Everything with swimming pool in its name has a 10x price multiplier. The guy to fitted the liner has a 'swimming pool liner vacuum pump' to suck the plastic liner onto the pool shell, this machine cost him £2k. It was a £60 machine mart dust extractor fan like we use in our workshops with a nice stainless steel pool company badge plate riveted over the 'Clarke' label, unbelievable.
