    Somebody's trying to stop me posting. Every few postings I have to start with a new browser...

    Anyway ... flats - that's a new idea! Nobody builds flats. I can see why Beeny suggested splitting it up, but is flats really the answer. I'd like to have seen the footprint.

    I'd be more likely to buy one of a few flats in a place called The Sausgae Factory than one of a few hundred in a tower block. I think. Although, I do always think from experience purpose built flats give a better ''living experience'' than conversions. So, contradictory feelings from me. I'm going to have such fun naming a place when we build/buy

    They'd have been better off turning it into a gay club and keeping the name "The Sausage Factory"

    I was even in a scabby council house one night with a big tank on its own stand, when the usual/inevitable fight ensued and the whole lot went over.

    Piranhas? :rotfl:
