“So, we are removing a kitchen, Phillip and I, and we found a message under the floor,” said Harrigan with a smile on a now viral TikTok, which has been seen 116,000 times since arriving on the platform last week.
“Jack and May lived here – three children and a dog. The kitchen was tidied up during April / May 2001,” he read about the note scrawled on the linoleum. “All the best !! Drink on us.” Included in the alcove was a small bottle of Glenkinchie whiskey.
“Doing an essential job! Great discovery”, Harrigan subtitles the clip. “I’m not sure I would drink [to be honest]. “

“Any other child of the ’80s thinking,’ 2001 was not that far ‘ [?]'”another asked.
