Leather jacket hanging on the wall...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
I didn't think the interior of the house was too bad, but then I'm used to viewing Welsh property.......:o.....some of it owned by horsey people. Not a good combination!:eek:

The thing I dislike about my own house (which was photographed unfurnished) is the lingering whiff of cigarette in some rooms, an more strongly when it rains. It puts the lingering smell of dairy farmer with indoor dog carpets easily into second place.urg, i can smell the cigarette smoke in that welsh place just by looking at the pictures0 -

Maybe. I have just realised that the suite in that place is the same one we had in the early 80s, and although we aren't hard on stuff, I don't think we could have made it last this long! :rotfl:
This is probably the best representation of this particular property, which has been on with several agents for years, having started at some totally ridiculous price. The popularity of Welsh property, 'for improvement,' has pretty much been in line with Gary Glitter's in recent times.
