Yes, and the point I'm making is that they will have no direct control over that, so it was a bit silly of the agent to highlight a major down-side in the very first photo, when all that was needed was a shot from a few paces to the left.

My DD used to do Weston Park to Ralph Allen most days. That's 3 miles each way

As a schoolboy I competed regularly, for Midsomer Norton Grammar School, in athletics competitions at Ralph Allen.

An outdoor pool, in Ayrshire... such optimism! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-52508706.html

And some very unique styling throughout.

They're hardy folk north of that border. Just looking at that pool makes me shiver.

Ah, the good old days! I did a term's teaching at your poor relations' place down the road: Paulton Secondary.

Amazing place. The head used to run discos and staff v pupil volleyball in the lunch hour. Purnells had donated a massive trampoline to the school, but it took up a whole room, so I had to do an afternoon of Eng Lit on it once a week, everyone sitting cross-legged around the edge!

Lovely kids, great atmosphere, but norra lorra intellectual challenges.....Nobody knew what to do with the non-academic 16 year olds when they raised the leaving age, so a huge pond and environmental area was under way when I left......

The school was closed down shortly after and everyone went to the comps.

I'll hazard a guess - someone who moved from rather further south at some point back in the 1970s - and had long since decided how their final house was going to be when they got it. They got the house together as they had decided - and then found out what the weather was like there afterwards....:cool: - and they've been freezing their little !!! off ever since...

You'd have been there when I was a schoolboy In fact i'll hazard a guess that was 1972 or 1973.

This is not in the same league as some of the finds but it's beyond me why the EA has drawn attention to the ugly piping in the shower / wet room - see pics 7 and 8

They certainly knew how to do ugly back then.
