At the end of the day, this is a feel-good story about a bloke who got lucky. It’s not about rich people problems—it’s about that universal relief when a thing you worried about turns out fine.
You know the feeling: when you find a forgotten $20 in your coat pocket. When the traffic light turns green just for you. When the council says, “Yes, you can keep your upgraded toilet.” That’s pure joy.
So pour a cuppa, give yourself a little pat on the back for all the rules you’ve carefully followed, and maybe send a cheeky “thank you” to Josh Widdicombe. He’s the reason we can all feel a little more confident hanging that picture frame without a spirit level.
Just don’t try this with a listed castle. That’s a whole other level of paperwork.
