Well done, go for it. I have always thought there was money laundering involved, particularly the Potts retirement plot in SA.And this is exactly the confusion that arises from the crime family's use of relatives to act as contractors. Ostensibly Armoire is the handyman. Is he an electrician? He's installed the electrics or tampered with the electrics in the courtyard. Is he qualified? As a handyman he's paid by Fanny. When it comes to restoration my bet is that he morphs into a contractor and is paid by the Association. So, here's the scam.
As a contractor to restore and work on the collapsing not so grand salon, he submits a quote which is highly inflated, to the Association. Conveniently, the Association is run and managed by his girlfriend, cousin and Aunt. The association accepts the inflated quote and pays out. But, where are they paying? Has Armoire set up a company in Panama? Jersey? South Africa? I don't mean Armoire literally, he's too dim. I am referring to the 'family'.
If I were auditing this shambles I'd want to see at least 3 quotes from contractors. And there had better be a very very good explanation why Armoire got accepted. But to continue with the scam.
So Armoire fronts the restoration. He gets paid for his work, then he subcontracts to experts who do the actual job but adds 20% or however much the family agree to the bill. That 20% is sent offshore and divided amongst the family. Remember, the public have no access to the accounts because Fanny changed the wording on the Patreon account. The only 'members' of the Association are the family and therefore only the family have to see the accounts and attend the AGM. Was the AGM on boxing day when Phillipa's parents arrived?
The money was generated by Patreon tax free and this is a way to get it out of the Association tax free while also increasing the value of their asset, the farmhouse.
Listen here, I used 20% as a guide. It could be 100%. we'll never know... Or will we... ? I'm going to report this to the UK authorities because there are Patrons in the UK so it falls under their jurisdiction. Within 2 weeks Auntie, Uncle, Armoire, Fanny. Isabelle, Percy, Nick Larkin, Michael Potts will be being looked at by the authorities. I say 2 weeks because it's going to take me at least a week to write the letters and collate all the information. And I'll certainly advise them to read this blog. It's been frustrating for me to not be able to do anything and now I can. I'm chuffed.
There is another name for this other than fraud and tax evasion. It's also called money laundering. HMRC and the Serious Fraud Office are going to have a field day. I'm jealous because I'd love to be part of the investigating team. Actually might offer my services... It ain't over until the fat lady sings and I've put on a lot of weight lol
If we do nothing the scam continues, because there's the Chapel. I can't resist and apologise in advance... be warned...
THE LE LANDE CHAPEL IS HANGING BY A PRAYER HA HA HA HA

Okay you filthy animals, here we go.
Firstly, the whole thing was a hodge podge of old footage to include Potty bloopers, singing, getting a free box of wine in Bordeaux, kitchen sit arounds, and Ricardo grinding on Stewie during a dance off. Oh and there was also footage of them finishing decorating Gerry’s room after he arrived.
This was all inter cut with Fanny sitting in the winter salon editing while PhiPhi cooked “tackos” for his parents for dinner. Remember how she said they weren’t filming or editing so they could spend time with his family. Yeah right. He ends up bringing her a “tacko” to eat in there while she was editing.
The most ridiculous aspect of the video is that her mother comes in and informs her she has been sitting in the room the whole time with a pigeon. I tit you not. The idiot doesn’t even notice there is a wild bird in the room. Of course she names him Perigrin or some such tit. She sits there editing while Mummy brings it bread and water. Fannys plan is to open a window and turn the lights off when she leaves.
She just keeps on working while the bird lands on furniture, the nativity and the Christmas tree. She fades to black without the issue being resolved.
No renovation, no updates, but I did spy a Christmas tree in the courtyard. Excuse me, I now need to go and try to dislodge my eyes, they’ve become stuck in the eyeroll position.
Happy New Year - ya filthy animals!
oh fanny didn't buy that car for her mother - she only said she had.It would indeed be most fitting. She should not be driving anymore, with or without dementia, she's too old. I was actually surprised that Fanny bought that car for her. But then again, Fanny is so clueless, she only sees what she wants to. Having to care for a parent with dementia is no easy task, it would be karma for her too as she has never cared for anyone. They should consider themselves lucky, using up some of that negative karma in one's lifetime means you don't have to do it in the next life, at least that's the Buddhist way.
I'll have a G&T with a splash of lime juice please!Thank you @Karma baby! and @OhIDontKnow... for the fabulous Patreon recaps! I will make you both some very strong drinks in the VIP lounge. (Even though @MojoDublin banned me from making drinks behind the bar due to my small arms, you both truly deserve cocktails right now!)
Speaking of VIPs, Congratulations to our latest, @Gertrude Maud! Step right up to the bar- I will be your bartender this evening (until someone shuts me down!)
Coming right up! LOL, I know, and almost made mention of it!I'll have a G&T with a splash of lime juice please!
I still have my VIP lounge key from my ooolalande days.. No one took it away
This is why one should NEVER allow oneself to be photographed or filmed at these kind of parties unless you are very close to death or headed to prison for life. It's always going to be out there!Potty having a mini stroke trying to say the name of the wine

Nope the patrons did. Bought it from... auntie! Surprise surprise, keep the cash in the family.oh fanny didn't buy that car for her mother - she only said she had.
Ricardo is definitely a hard worker, and did a lot of things right- with a lot of proper prep work (I am not certain how much Andrew assisted, so won't throw shade.) But, I am confused as to why he did not mud, tape and sand the drywall seams behind the bar before applying the wallpaper? (I will say, though, he certainly did do a fantastic job at hanging the paper- I just hope it doesn't bubble where he did not fare the drywall seams.) Also, why on earth was he NOT wearing a mask while spraying paint? (Is there a shortage in France of PPE?!? Why does no one use it?) The things that did have me scratching my head were the flooring (vinyl makes sense when one has pets, but it was not a good quality one), the furniture (which was mostly Ikea-style flat-pack), and the use of blue tape versus green (perhaps it can not be gotten in France? Blue tape is terrible!) With all being said, the room did turn out very lovely and cosy. While I am not a wallpaper fan, I do like the pattern and that it was used more as an accent- behind the bar, and framed on another wall. I hope the white slipcovers on the sofa come off easily to wash, as they will not stay white for very long with two small dogs. I think Ricardo did a fantastic job.3rd installment from the Pug Poofs.

Ricardo appears to be doing all of the work.
