    Ex-garage owner hence 1/2 car and petrol pump in lounge, and other motoring memorabilia?

    What is the coral looking sponge spiky thingy in pic 13 by the chaise lounge (that's posh for me Laura!!!)?

    Can we play "what's the occupation of the owner game?" pleeeeese?

    It is a massive stress ball?

    Tis but a lamp milady; but what is the black thing to the right of it, behind the world's most hideous chaise longue?
    The whole has a medical look about it, so it's probably a sex aid, which means the owner is ..... a ... :D

    Retired, downsizing, moving nearer family.

    Why is there 50 pictures, you get less with a mansion.

    :eek: For the starter list of the escaped radioactive isotopes? How can property near the Windscale complex be worth anything?

    There was a beautiful detached barn conversion in that area that sold for under £180,000 at auction last year. I knew the owner. When he was a live, he thought it was worth £600,000, & refused to drop his price. His widow just wanted out.

    For the price of that Bolton detached nothing a few days ago, you could have this http://www.rightmove.co.uk/overseas-property/property-26469639.html
    plus a touch of French tax for this, that, the other; & anything their bureaucrats can (so effortlessly) dream up.

    Who buys these places so close to nuclear? (Mind you, I'd prefer a power station to Sellafield). I don't know where to start with this one. £200k for an old railway carriage - and don't worry about those big buildings behind...just throw a coin in ye olde wishing well in photo 8, and all will be well. Maybe.

    "masseuse" with requisite "therapy" equipment connected to the chaise

    the automobilia is to provide a familiar environment for the "clients" on the basis that its hard to bring the road side indoors

    or at least that is what one has to call all that junk on public boards

    Ah yes, WIsh Ye Well. Best to cover all bases being that close to the station :eek:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
