    But it's not Myra Hindley; it's Kate Moss.

    So you don't have to be worried about anyone being sick in the head.

    I think that's the idea of the image in the first place....'this is not a murderer, it's not even a picture of a murderer...'



    You're wrong. The idea of the image is to make Kate Moss look like Myra Hyndley. Myra Hyndley was a vile evil disgusting child murderer. So psychobabble as much as you like, Zazen, but you know and I know that the picture is deliberately provocative.

    That "Myra Hindley" style piccy is most probably one of Ronnie's efforts.

    Well, if the house is under offer then it definitely means that someone thinks it's worth the money. Lucky them

    It's Kate Moss done up as her not the real Myra Hindley and it's not by ronnie either.

    If i had the money i'd buy it! Looks like a fantastic house.

    if i had 13 mill I guess i could afford to re-decorate to my tastes!

    I quite like it - apart from all the clutter (ornaments and pictures everywhere)...

    how do you know? (i) the offer may not be at asking price and (ii) they may have spent a lot of money on it. how do you know, for instance, that they didn't build a swimming pool where there wasn't one before etc etc.

    I couldn't agree more! These price sites really p*ss me off, we have had exactly the same happen to us, bought for £300k 5 yrs ago and have sold for £700k, before when we had people looking around they were saying but you only paid 300k, yes for a delapidated shell we have now trebled the size of!!

    Proof that a little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing!!:mad:

    I always look on the planing permission sites of local council to see what improvements have been done...

    And people should compare similar sold prices too...
