    Things like 'You don't have to be mad to work here - but it helps!' or 'Home is where the Heart is' or 'Little Girls' Room', etc.

    That sounds like nits in your armpits.

    If you have them, see a Doctor.

    Oh dear.

    I have an Angels one on the hook inside the bedroom. I am doomed.

    It's eerie! That phrase was posted by MTG at 19.12. I just googled the phrase 10 mins later, and google had spidered this thread already. Big brother is definitely watching.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    It's within 1/4 mile! :)

    But, OK, nuff said.
    It looks 1/4 mile on paper, on the ground it's much further.... the morning commuter queues to get into Cardiff are soooo long.
    Between the two there's definitely a 'separation' and you know when you're entering Radyr.

    Your link showed probably the largest/nicest type of house available on Danescourt, the OP's living among some really large and very expensive houses. Posh neighbours, really posh.

    The chavs from Fairwater will (and do) wander across to Danescourt regularly, they won't be bothered to go to Radyr as there's a sense of distance/separation and ... well, there's no shops/pub for them to hang around outside and chat up girls/smoke/buy booze.

    Radyr = pretty chav free
    Danescourt = you'll be aware of them walking along the through road.

    Choice: live in a lovely house, that's as good as the neighbours' -or- live within a few hundred feet of some really big houses and get to say "I live in Radyr" in public. Most people don't know where Danescourt is, everybody has heard of Radyr.

    the kitchen would put me off it's very dark and old fashioned, sorry, also the garden needs brightening up and paint the shed door.

    How about fridge magnets? Is it okay to have 'many people have eaten in this kitchen and survived'? Or will your house sale fall through on account of the fridge magnets being incredibly naff? Fridge magnets okay at all?

    Change your MSE moniker from Radyrwife to DanescourtWife. Doesn't bear thinking about, I gather. :)

    "everybody has heard of Radyr." Umm, no!
