Mole Man William Lyttle in financial hole

Posted by daev

An Irishman who dug a labyrinth of tunnels under his London home is in a financial hole after being ordered to pay around £300,000 (€373,000) to stop it collapsing. Retired civil engineer William Lyttle (77) has been dubbed "mole man" because he excavated hundreds of feet under his home and beneath nearby pavements in London.
