Although I suppose Toozie will be :doh: unless we include Cymru am byth, but there isn't one for it, so to that.

Mind you, I did wonder if the reason no internal space was shown to go with the "dream kitchen" is because the "impressive great room with floor to ceiling stone fireplace is ideal for large gatherings" was actually already adapted for use in your other "talent" (besides house spotting of course!)

Be careful. I live with a Welsh Brummie.
He sounds quite posh to my snotty-Scot ears, - most of the time :whistle:

'Ere! 'ang on a mo: Selly Oak is supposed to be posh too, innit?

Edit: Another example of 'the grot kitchen effect': Unless the house was demolished & the whole site dug out to a depth of 3ft., I don't think I could ever contemplate living there

I thought 'twas quite reasonable when I lived in the area (many years ago now)...."Area musta changed quite a bit since then, or I have...." was what I thought on spotting that...

Not the bit with the students in it. Just rows and rows of terraced houses, most with Devonshire Street names. Roughly half have permanent 'To Let' signs as the LL's agents can't be arrised to take them down, and at this time of year, about 10% have a skip. That's because after 10 years of student occupation they need gutting and re-equipping with just about everything (second hand, of course. )

Nearby Harborne, like Bournville, is in another league.

presumably communicating through use of sign language?

today's rather weak offering in an attempt to remain on topic:
http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-45413284.html - this EA uses the marketing strategy of leaving you wanting to know more by telling you nothing to start with, (other than a price to deter the average punter). There is a reason for the slow down children sign which rather makes the security of a "gated entrance" somewhat redundant....
