    I believe that's a standard corner bath, it's just the fish-eye lens throwing off the perspective.

    Our local stately home is occupied by the Hornyold-Strickland family. Now it does seem to me that if your name is Hornyold the last thing you would wish to do is double barrel it :)

    At least the 2nd part of the name isn't Mann or B*****d (about 160 people have this name in the UK) - including a teacher as I have spoken to him at a call centre. As part of the call structure I had to mention his name at least twice. My colleagues thought I was being rude of calling him Mr B*****d but I had to point to his name on the account on my screen.

    If your surname is B*****d, you don't become a teacher - unless you change your name.

    oooh the age old where does the South of England start? ;)

    To me, Warwickshire is Midlands.

    But, as you say, where does the south start? I guess if you live in the north, Warwickshire probably is the south.

    I used to work for a bank handling loan applications, once had one from a teacher named Mr Pratt.

    What a stupid idea to put a frosted internal window between the bathroom and a bedroom?

    Very odd. I can see why it's there, without it there would be no natural light in the bathroom at all, but other properties of a similar age and layout get around that problem by having full height internal doorways with windows above the doors.

    My bathroom doesn't have a window and I don't miss the window. Simplest and cheapest way to rectify the flat's internal window is to block it up

    I grew up in a house without a bathroom window and loved the cocoon like feel. For years I though that windows in bathrooms were really weird.
