I was given the unending task of refolding stuff after it had been rifled through, and was struck by the way the men's stuff stayed folded, and the women's and children's stuff didn't. Are men tidier when looking through clothes, or is it to do with men's clothes being made of stiffer fabrics and easier to keep folded while you're looking at them?

Maybe they've actually no idea of their size as their mum/wife's always shopped for them. So they'll have a polite look, but no rifling because [a] they've no idea of their size wife'd kill them if they got something she disapproved of or was wrong.

That's what I thought at first, but the men's stuff was disappearing faster than the women's stuff, so it can't have been that nobody was looking at it.

Maybe the men just look at the stuff, pick up one garment that looks about the right size, and walk away, whereas the women (whether looking for themselves or their kids) want to look at everything on the table before deciding???

It was that one. If you look carefully you can see someone sitting in the room behind the kitchen.

In Photobucket, you could use the image editor tools to blur them, rub them out, or whatever.

I'm afraid I'm lazy, so if there's something I don't want seen in a photo, I just zap that area with the anti-red eye. Generally works.

I just realised what you meant here. I thought you were saying you have a picture, but it's a bit mean to post it, so you won't be doing so.... I didn't realise at the time that you were referring to the image you'd already posted, I thought you had a further one

You can't make out who it is in the background anyway, far too small. Could be anybody.

I thought the first picture didn't show up. Even more confused now.

Flickr account was ok but seems it can only post links not pictures. Photobucket reveals my name (!!) if you read the source.

You need to create a photobucket account named silvercar.

Did anybody read this yet http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1384635/10ft-cube-home-includes-lounge-shower-kitchen-DOUBLE-bedroom.html

I can't be 4rsed to start a thread anywhere about it.

Issues I see, as somebody who could (on paper) live in that space are:
- where'd you put/store your recycling bags
- no freezer (although I could have designed it easily enough with a freezer
- you'd ideally need one whole wall just for storage space of "stuff".
- you couldn't work from home or have any hobbies
- only a shower would be annoying, baths ftw

They'd make great beach huts, holiday homes, or week-day homes .... but you couldn't live in one for 20-30-40 years with all the stuff you'd want

You'd need a separate shed outside, just as big, to store your stuff, including a bike, garden furniture, washing line, washing machine, clothes airer, hobbies stuff.
