0:00:05 > 0:00:08I'm Terry Walker, and this is my scrapyard.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12- Morning, boss.- All right, Coxy. - Want a brew?- Cup of tea, please.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Happy days.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16There's profit in every ounce of a scrapped car.
0:00:16 > 0:00:1750 quid, pal.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20I buy 'em. Strip 'em.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Squash 'em. And then flog the lot.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25What a good day.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I started the yard over 20 years ago,
0:00:28 > 0:00:31A few years after, I met Lyndsay. The wife.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Don't go mad spending money.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Can I spend it on you, then? - Oh, yeah, no problem.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39He just makes money, like. It's just this knack he's got.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45I do it by employing lads that no-one else will.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Individually, they're good lads. They're all right.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50But together, they're just like a load of hyenas.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54It's like a circus sometimes.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59You got to keep laughing, cos if you don't, you'll cry.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Move these tyres! Move 'em!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I won't have the mickey took out of me.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05If they do that, they're history.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07There's more cars to come up. Get 'em sorted!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09If they show willing and they've got..
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And I can see something in 'em, I won't give up on them easily.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Can't get a job nowhere else. Nowhere else will have me.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20It's the Metro family, and it's the family I've created from scratch.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37It's 6.30 in the morning and all is peaceful at Metro Salvage.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41The grab is still.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And the first cuppa is yet to be brewed.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50This is the heart of the Walker's Bolton empire, a scrapyard and second-hand car lot.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54It's the first day back for Terry and Lyndsay,
0:01:54 > 0:01:59who've just spent two weeks at their holiday home in Spain.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05This is one of my rituals, which I do every day. Just make
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Lyndsay a nice grilled breakfast, then take it to her in bed.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11As long as I'm in the good books.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Here you are, love.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Why have you put big light on for?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- You all right? - Mmm.- You don't look it.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Where's me toast!?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Terry has built up the biggest scrap empire in the North West of England.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33But the pressure is always on.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Every week, he has to sell £25,000 worth of scrap metal,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40spare parts and second-hand cars, just to break even.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45It's Tuesday and there's only a few grand in the bank.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48And on Friday, the staff will need paying...
0:02:48 > 0:02:49in cash.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56All right, Gazza?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02All the lads in here are called Dave. So it's...all right, Dave?!
0:03:02 > 0:03:03All right.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06All right, Dave?! Yes, Dave! You all right?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Terry's built his multimillion pound business on a deceptively simple formula.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15He buys cars. He strips them for parts.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18And what's left, ends up here.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Gloria, the monster of the yard!
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Basically what you do is, you get as many cars as you can, get 'em
0:03:26 > 0:03:30all de-polluted, get them up to our Jason and he rips and grips.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33So you put metal in and out pops the money,
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Gloria processes up to 200 tonnes of scrap every week
0:03:38 > 0:03:41that Terry can sell for 120 quid a tonne.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's then shipped abroad to be recycled.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You have got to feed our Gloria. Just keep putting the metal in.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50As many cars as you can.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54It is hungry for cars, it's hungry for scraps, it's hungry, for metal. We need to feed it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58The yard needs to scrap at least 30 cars a day
0:03:58 > 0:04:00just to cover the overheads.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04No car, no money. No money, no wages. It's as simple as that.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It's the knock-on effect.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09The big machine that needs feeding.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12There's me, there's Gloria and there's Lyndsay.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Me and Terry have been together 35 years and had Metro 21 years.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26But we don't always see eye to eye on how the business is run.
0:04:26 > 0:04:31The thing that me and Terry argue about is the spending.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Because, to be honest, he has no idea what
0:04:35 > 0:04:37we have actually got money-wise.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Our Lyndsay absolutely hates me going to the auctions
0:04:41 > 0:04:44and buying too many cars. But I've got to feed Gloria!
0:04:44 > 0:04:45I honestly think he is addicted.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48It makes him feel better. He is always in a good mood
0:04:48 > 0:04:51when he's spent, like, loads of money on cars.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59I have to watch Terry like a hawk, because if it wasn't for me, he would probably be in jail.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Because there's one law for Terry and one law for everybody else.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Apart from our Lyndsay thinking she's the boss, she's fine.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Is she the boss?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10no, I'm the boss.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Can I help ya, pal?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Yeah, I want to scrap the car.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Right, let's have a look at it, then, eh?
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Yeah.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It's seen better days, hasn't it?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26A customer has arrived at the yard and Terry sniffs a bargain.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28How much ya want for it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:29500.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Knock a nought off and I'll have it!
0:05:33 > 0:05:40Prices are a bit low at the moment - £118 a tonne, 700 kilos - we're looking at 80 quid.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah, 80 quid. Yeah, that's fine.
0:05:44 > 0:05:4780 quid, sort this gentleman out, yeah?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51If it had been a little bit cleaner, I might have tried to sell it as a runner.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Subsequently, I think we'll probably just sell pickings off it.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Engine and gear box is probably worth 30 quid and the shell is worth
0:05:58 > 0:06:03another 50 quid, so probably looking at 50-60 quid profit.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08It's not a lot, but if you do it on volume, 1,000 cars a month,
0:06:08 > 0:06:09job's a good 'un.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The scrapyard's a seven day a week operation, employing 35 staff.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Many of them wouldn't get a job anywhere else.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Have you got ADHD?- I did have it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Then you've still got it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- What?- You've still got ADHD. - Have I?- Yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:3418-year-old Boyle is the youngest member of the team.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36He's also the yard gofer.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Left school when I were 13-14 and just worked here.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Terry said he'd give me a job for life so I never went back to school.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Boyle always gets second chances,
0:06:44 > 0:06:49because he reminds me of what I was like when I was his age.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Because I wasn't the best of kids.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54I ended up in a children's home and people gave me a chance
0:06:54 > 0:06:56and I feel I should pass that on.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Before he went away, Terry gave Boyle the job of filling
0:06:59 > 0:07:03containers, or bowsers, with copper wiring from car dashboards.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Human snipper, I am.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Won't get no-one doing better than me doing this.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Terry wants me to do it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Got to get 100 bowsers, but I've got 20 up to now,
0:07:13 > 0:07:18so not that far off. Only need...80 more.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25I am big on the job, me. I do it well.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26I do it really well.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31Terry can sell copper to a buyer in Poland for two grand a tonne.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35But he's got to sell in volume and Boyle is behind schedule.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38While I've been away now, I've had reports of you slacking.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- Yeah.- So why?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- I don't know. - You knew what you had to do.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Yeah, I know, I have been doing it, but not as much.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Well, why, though? I don't understand.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Really you should being doing more, not less. How many is there?
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Two... Nine... I can't count.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57We've not had that many cars to strip.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Awwww, excuse.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Making excuses. I don't know.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06But Boyle may have a point about the lack of cars.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10As a rule of thumb, we are bringing in between 30-35, sometimes
0:08:10 > 0:08:1440 cars a day. And yesterday was 22 or 21 or something like that.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17So, yeah, influx was down.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21With the pressure of the weekly wage bill looming,
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Terry's decided to take action.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Despite Lyndsay's views on his spending, he's hoping to make
0:08:26 > 0:08:30some quick cash, by bagging a few bargains at a local car auction.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35We'll just have a quick mooch when we get there. Have a look round.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I'll show you what to try and spot.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42It's also a chance to train his son Jon,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45who runs their second-hand car lot.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- What have we got now? 60...62.- Ford Fiesta.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52That's too new. It doesn't say here what's wrong with them,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54so you've got to just go and have a mooch.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59I absolutely love buying cars. That's it, isn't it?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I want to spend money. I've got money. I want to spend it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I'm basically looking for cars that stand out to me,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09which look lonely. Like, what is the SP with that?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13If you look at it, it's quite a tidy car, apart for the mirror.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I've got a mirror.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I've got everything to totally rebuild that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Got a little cheap runner just sitting there doing nothing.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I'm bidding on the vehicles that nobody else wants.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Where's Jon? Jon! Come here!
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Let me try and teach you something.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33This car, I know, in this auction will be too dear to break.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Not got a lot going for it. Air bags have gone off, you know,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39pretty much all of them and you've got to fix down that side.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I think this car is in or around two grand.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59At the yard, Boyle is getting busy.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00But on all the wrong things.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04I've posted that scooter on Gumtree.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07He's got his own little sideline going, with an old scooter.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12But Terry don't know about that, because it's in work hours.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I shouldn't have done it, but I have done.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Hey! You OK?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20It's there. Do you want to see it? It's only for parts.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Everything's been sold off it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's only worth about £60, engine and all that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27I'll just sell it like that now.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Get rid of it, innit? Buy it, you sell it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31How old is he now, 18?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's like he's a 12-year-old.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Want me own yard, called Boyle's Breakers.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38A scrapyard, like this.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44For Boyle, that's normal behaviour.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49He gets under your skin. It's like having a second kid.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I think he's Terry's little protege, so...
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Does he gets away with murder? - He gets away with murder.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Hiya!
0:11:03 > 0:11:06'09, the year, round the clock, miles again there, 24...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Know what he said? You know that Fiesta on the car park,
0:11:09 > 0:11:12the one that's smashed on the side?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15They've refused four grand.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18It's not my cup of tea, Jon. I'd rather just do it online.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Terry's still desperate to buy, but not at these prices.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28These vehicles here now today are too dear,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30so I am a little bit miffed.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33You know, I've come to spend.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Been a good lad, so I don't think we'll upset our Lyndsay today.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37We won't upset your mum.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Terry's back in the yard.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51That skip, you need to push it down!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53And he's discovered that things haven't been
0:11:53 > 0:11:56running as efficiently as they should.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59There's too many tyres going in there.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Tyres with good tread can be sold for £20 each.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05But the lads have been dumping them in the skip.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- This is all gone to cock now, this...- What has?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Half of them tyres in there are good.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Yeah, yeah, half of them are.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Why put them in the scrap skip?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16He tries to do everything himself.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21He takes control of every part of the yard, all the jobs, everything.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25But it's the pressure on him and that's why he bawls and shouts.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29But they get shouted at for things that they're not doing right.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31How you can laugh, I do not know!
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I'm smiling, because I've seen you.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Engine specialist Little Dave is also in the firing line.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Dave, there's 20 engines here that are not on the list
0:12:42 > 0:12:47I've come in this morning at half past six, especially,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49gone through them and put them all back on.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Very good, but you're going to have to stay now
0:12:52 > 0:12:55till gone half past six, to get them all back out again.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Little Dave was meant to stack 100 engines for export to Dubai.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The order is worth 15 grand.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04You're just making the job proper hard.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07My mistake that. I hold my hands up for that. I'll sort it.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Nice one.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Do you e-mail one another and think
0:13:10 > 0:13:11"Right, tomorrow, we're going
0:13:11 > 0:13:14"to create a conspiracy, just to wind Terry up"?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I would never do that, cos I know what you're like
0:13:16 > 0:13:19when you're mad and I don't like it. It scares me.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20LAUGHTER
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Dave has worked at the yard for ten years.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I've not too long been out of prison
0:13:29 > 0:13:33and I was struggling getting jobs.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37If it wasn't for Terry, I'd probably either be dead now,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41or doing life in prison or something,
0:13:41 > 0:13:42so I do owe him a lot.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Done. How long was that?
0:13:47 > 0:13:4925 mins.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Ahh! That's a bad time, that.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Cos we were talking and getting emotional.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56David, your dinner's ready.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58SHE LAUGHS
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Sisters Debs and Michelle have run the on-site cafe
0:14:02 > 0:14:04for the last five years.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Our role is agony aunt.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Nurse.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Yeah. Doctor, I have diagnosed.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Diagnosed, yeah. Moneylender.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Moneylender. I lend money.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19It's a case of, if they have any problems, they'll come and...
0:14:19 > 0:14:21The majority of times, when they have a problem,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24it might be over something at home with the missus or whatever.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- And they might want to get it out a bit.- Sounding off.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Sounding off. - Someone to sound off to.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31What's the saying?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33A problem shared is a problem halved.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Yeah, that's the one.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Look at that, look at that. Ooh, yes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40How's things with you, David?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Not good.- Not good, love? Why?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46It's our Terry on one again in yard.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's just a bit emotional sometimes, when he goes at you.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And he's having a go at you and you think, "Why me?"
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It winds me up sometimes.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57He knows I can take it, but it's not about knowing you can take it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- It still hurts, doesn't it? - Course it hurts.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Thank you for my dinner.- No probs.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- I'm always here for me boys.- OK.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09You've got to keep laughing, cos if you don't, you'll cry.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12You would. Well, I would, at this moment in time,
0:15:12 > 0:15:13because I'm menopausal.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14SHE LAUGHS
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Just hold on, because I'm having a...
0:15:18 > 0:15:21a hotty.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Warm.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29There's more frustration for Terry.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I feel like I want to rip his head off.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35He's just found out about Boyle's secret scooter.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Right now, I'm absolutely wound up to the- BLEEP.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I haven't given you permission to buy anything. Don't buy nothing.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Everything's got to be through a proper procedure.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Paperwork, procedure, receipts - everything. Do you understand?
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- Yeah.- Right, I want you to get all these tyres here into that skip
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and I want a proper working area making here, yeah?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Crack on and do the job right.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Every vehicle in the yard must have all the right documents.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07It's a rule Terry is very strict about.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11It's been round the back, unbeknown to Terry,
0:16:11 > 0:16:15for him to sell the parts of it for his own money.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- What's he like?- It's really out of order, that, isn't it?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22He'll never learn. Ever.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26There will always be something with Boyle. Always.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30Without paperwork, Terry doesn't want the scooter on the yard.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33There's only one place for it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37MUSIC: "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg
0:16:50 > 0:16:54He was very, very, very close to being sacked today.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59I had to walk away, to regain some normality in my head,
0:16:59 > 0:17:04because I just wanted to rip his head off and kick him up the backside
0:17:04 > 0:17:05and send him on his way.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I want to make my own scrapyard, so I'm trying to buy things to
0:17:09 > 0:17:15start it off, but Terry doesn't like it, so I've had to stop.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Boyle's plan for his own yard will have to wait.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Today, he's lucky to still have a job.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I think everybody has a soft spot for Boyle.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37He's a nice character, I don't know what it is about him.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Just cos he's a lad.- Yeah.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40But he's silly.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45He's no concentration. He used to have that ADH.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- D.- Is it? AD...
0:17:48 > 0:17:49It's ADHD, not ADH.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Oh, right.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Nobody else would get away with what Boyle gets away with.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Terry, must remind him of himself, when he were that age.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01That's what it is.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05It's quite uncanny, really, cos he actually looks like him,
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- as well, when he were young. - Does he?- Yeah.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11At some point, I thought he might be his dad.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13He does favour him.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17He used to be friendly with Boyle's mum when they were at school.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Oh, now, there's a story coming here now.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23But Boyle's only 18. Well... I don't know if I can say this.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25But Terry had the snip...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28LAUGHTER
0:18:28 > 0:18:32If one got out, I don't know. You never know, do you?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I shouldn't be saying that.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- He'll kill ya!- I know.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42It's the end of a difficult day.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Terry is still worried there aren't enough cars coming in.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50So he makes a big decision and hits the live online auctions.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I'm in greedy mode. I need more metal.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I need more cars.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Yeah, bid on it now. Bid on it.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58I think there's wages in that, me.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01He's combing the country for bargains.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Ooh, look at that Peugeot. I like them.- GTI, that.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Come on, bring it on! Bring it on!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Ooh, I could do with that.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Caught it, our kid!
0:19:10 > 0:19:14I've just bought an Audi A4 S line for three grand on an '05.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17I think there's wages in that.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Does Lyndsay know you're on auctions yet?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- No.- She'll kill you. She'll go absolutely mental.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26Why would she? I'm trying to make money for the company here.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Is there no more open, no?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31No, that's it, mate, for today.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Next one's in the morning.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49It's Friday - payday.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52And the extent of Terry's online spending is just starting
0:19:52 > 0:19:55to dawn on the finance team.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Basically, Terry just, literally, blitzed the bank
0:20:00 > 0:20:03and spent everything that we had.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06This is our folder for the auctions.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09That's ten cars and that's just from one auction.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Then, it just goes on and on and on.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13There's absolutely loads.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16He's spent the lads' wages on cars.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I've just had a bit of an e-mail through.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Turn advertising off, don't buy any more cars.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Volunteers for weekend off, as there is no money for wages
0:20:24 > 0:20:26and we need to cut back.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28If we don't have enough money for the wages,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30then all the lads will be kicking off downstairs.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33The minute Lyndsay comes in and finds out that he's spent
0:20:33 > 0:20:35all this money, she's going to go mad.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39He's gone absolutely mad on these auctions.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I don't know why he does this. I don't.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- I'm fuming.- You're twitching.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I know! No wonder, I've got one nerve left. One!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50And he's getting on it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54He won't listen. He's going to ruin the business, honestly.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55He needs to calm down.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Lyndsay's texted me this...
0:20:58 > 0:21:00"This is ridiculous,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02"We've got to sell everything before you buy.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04"It's out of control now,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06"so we're nowhere near enough for the wages.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09"What am I going to do? What am I going to do?!"
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Bloody hell. Needs to take a chill pill, doesn't she?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14What's the point in flapping?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Just because I've spent a few quid on stock.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19She says "Don't buy no more cars!"
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Without stock, what have you got?
0:21:21 > 0:21:26My biggest problem is that I introduced Lyndsay to the business.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I shouldn't have done that, really.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Cos now it's all about business at home and at work.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35It's affecting me personally now.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38It's really getting on my nerves.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40You're working with him, not against him.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Yeah. But he's working against me.- Yeah.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Cos he's not listening.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48That's it. I'm getting emotional now.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Come on. Come on.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58You flap over nothing.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I'm not flapping over nothing, Terry!
0:22:01 > 0:22:0411,000 overnight has come out.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06That's what you've spent.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I've spent 15 grand on cars.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10You can only buy stock if you're in profit.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12That's how I see it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13You are nowhere near in profit.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16But yet, you've gone out and spent that without asking.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Without saying. You don't speak to us about it.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21You just go and do it.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I've not just gone out willy-nilly -
0:22:23 > 0:22:25"Yeah, just buy that, get that, just buy that."
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I've bought stuff we can sell.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30All I know is, if your shelves are empty,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32you try and put stock back on them.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You need to sell more before you start buying.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Everything is still here.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38So, you need to start selling some.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Concentrate on doing that.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42You blow everything out of proportion.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- I'm not blowing it out of proportion.- I've got it all sussed,
0:22:45 > 0:22:46as to what's going on.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51So, if how you're running it is right, where's the profit?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55£5,000 a day you're already spending on cars.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What are we working for?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00What are we working for?!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05She looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Face like a bag of hacksaw blades.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I don't think I've ever seen Lyndsay that upset.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14I've never seen her upset. She always, kind of, laughs it off.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- I know.- It's a shame.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20But, I mean, you've got to speculate to accumulate.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23She knows that.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25But I think he's just speculating a bit too much.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30Bloody hell, Jon.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34I feel jittery, because there's just nothing actually moving.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Terry's second-hand car lot, run by son Jon,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40can sometimes generate a quick turnover, if the price is right.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Is this running?- Yeah.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Just put it on at 495.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Do that for nine... Tell him to put that on the system at 995.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50That's scrap and that's scrap.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Andy, that one's running, ain't it?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Right, so put that on at 995, yeah?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Put this on at 495.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Just to make things start to move.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06There's a lot of tension in the office today,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09because we're all panicking that there's not enough money
0:24:09 > 0:24:11to pay the staff.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13They've done nothing wrong.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15They just want to earn their wages.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- These are the takings for today.- Thank you, ta.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23It's not a very good day, at all.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Got bills to pay, mate. Little mouths to feed.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I've just thought I'd buy a new couch and all that.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34So I won't be paying for my couch if I've no wages.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37You'll be sitting on cardboard boxes.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38If I don't get cash tonight,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'll have no food all weekend.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Seriously.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I live from paycheck to paycheck, me.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47David, David...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Debs and Michelle are also getting worried.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Can never find, when I've got that many names in this...
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Oh, there we go.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Friday is the day they get their money off the lads.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Minus 1.50. Right.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- What do they owe now?- 15.60.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Obviously, they're tick books, because they're skint on a Monday.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08If I give them tick, then I get a wage at the end of the week.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Sometimes. - If they pay.- If they pay.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12What time's wages?
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Sandra, what time's wages?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19The wife would not be very happy.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21She's at home now, waiting for me to pick the kids up
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and do the shopping.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25So I won't be able to do the shopping without my wage.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32They're still over a grand down and running out of options.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Are we doing any money down there?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Jemma calls her brother Jon at the car lot.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Result. All right. See you in a bit.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- Wow, I forgot about that.- Woo-hoo!
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Jon's saved the day. He's sold a couple of cars.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55We've done it. Everybody's getting paid now.
0:25:57 > 0:25:58But it were close.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01It were close. Again.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Nice one, mate.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05There's 17 there.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Good do, matey. You've saved the day, yeah?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10What a good do.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13You always come up trumps.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Ta.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18No, there's no luck today. You don't deserve any luck.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25There you go.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27The crisis is over this week
0:26:27 > 0:26:30and everyone can look forward to Friday night.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33There's not much talent knocking about in this yard.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Majority of them have either got no teeth, a thousand kids...
0:26:36 > 0:26:38No car, no credit.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yeah. Pay as you go, no go.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Wages, please. Thanks very much.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- See you later!- Mind that car!
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- NATALIE:- Cos you work with them, you can't actually see them in that way.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51But, if we were single,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54probably a couple, on a night out. That's about it.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Boyle's cute, but he's a baby.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Yeah. Boyle's like a little annoying brother.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- DEBS:- Boyle!
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Just get down here now!
0:27:03 > 0:27:04HIS SPEECH IS INAUDIBLE
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Come on, Boyle.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Tick book.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Oh, God.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14You OK, Lyndsay?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Nanna Lyndsay, this.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Nanna! I'm less than a nanna!
0:27:20 > 0:27:21You cheeky...
0:27:21 > 0:27:22LAUGHTER
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Boyle...
0:27:26 > 0:27:28You've got 50p change!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I've got it, though. I've got it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I can't believe it myself. I've got it!
0:27:32 > 0:27:36It's been touch and go but, for the time being, everyone's happy.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Well, almost everyone.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Terry's still smarting after his run-in with Lyndsay.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43What I'm going to do, I'm going to play by her rules for a while
0:27:43 > 0:27:44and see how it goes.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48So, I won't go to no auctions, I won't buy anything
0:27:48 > 0:27:51that I've not got permission to buy.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52In fact, I won't buy anything.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56I'll just come in the yard and be a mug rat
0:27:56 > 0:27:58for as long as she wants me to be.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And let's see what happens.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Jump in, pal!
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Come on, lad, up you go there!
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Worst-case scenario, if Boyle's in that machine,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13could drop a car on someone.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- Have you bought any more cars recently?- No.
