Apologies for sharing a link to he Daily Wail.

For Brian:

A film fan has built his very own cinema in his back garden in tribute to a now-defunct movie company. Anderson 'Andy' Jones, 38, has spent four and a half years and £70,000 of his life savings building the 34-seat ABC cinema from scratch.

The father-of-two's movie house mirrors cinemas of the 1930s with big red curtains and red seats. Anderson Jones, centre, has built his very own cinema in the back garden of his home in Stoke, pictured. His wife Jane, left, and son Ethan, right will help him host family and friends at the theatre starting next year.

The brick building, which is adorned with an ABC sign, is 40ft tall, 22ft wide and 20ft high and takes up half of the garden of his three bed semi-detached house. The theatre, which has a 17ft by 7ft screen, has its own projection room, black and white old-style toilets and a foyer with a concessions stand that offers popcorn and sweets.

The entrance is just yards from the back door of the bus driver's house in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Everything in the cinema - from the door handles to the exit sign - has been reclaimed from old cinemas of the past.

Obviously a talented chap. ;-) This IS the Daily Mail we're talking about.

Brilliant project though. Occasionally have fantasies about running my own small cinema.

My wife's comment:

"He's even bought his wife an usherette's outfit. Imagine how thrilled she must be!"

I'm amazed the planners didn't nobble him & what did the neighbours think?

Your secret is out. A Daily Mail reader. Another socialist hypocrite.

Just buy a big flat screen TV & screw it to the wall. A few chairs and job done!
