    The censor obviously didn't go to grammar school, so never had the pleasure of learning a language full of helpful sentences like: "We shall overcome the barbarians with the skilful use of our spears and arrows."


    Still waiting for that one to be appropriate. After Brexit, maybe? :rotfl:

    I remember stuff along the lines of hastis iactis, Romani summa !!! ferocitate impetum fe!!!!. I am expecting to find the 5th and last words censored.

    edit: and I wasn't wrong. The starred out innocent words are c um and cu nt

    Oh my, let's hope the delivery man doesn't decide to use the back door at an inopportune moment :o

    Seems to have a very long garden compared to those of the houses at the back

    Who in their right mind puts the bathroom and only toilet in the house on the second floor? (See Floor Plan)

    What if you fancy a few pints of an evening? :eek:

    perhaps they have a bucket, strategically placed in the 'enclosed rear yard':D

    Very nice ex-vicarage for reasonable money this close to the centre of Stafford.
    https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-60570052.html

    But:
    What's with the ground floor layout? - front hall leads only to the kitchen and you have to walk through two rooms to get to the sitting room? Eh?

    And: The property is reached via a public footpath which continues to the private driveway and leads to the property and extensive grounds of large lawns and ample parking for several vehicles.

    How do you get vehicles down a public footpath? Is this why this 5-bed cellared house with huge gardens has no garage?

    I'm trying to work out how I'd use the bidet without doing myself a very nasty injury:(

    Nice house:). To anyone who can afford that much/wants that big a house then I doubt they'd be that bothered about (just as long as the motorway noise can't travel over to it).

    I know it's not a house but what gives with this "bath"?
    https://www.ukbathrooms.com/products/bette-labette-bath.html

    a dainty yet practical solution for the smaller bathroom space. Giving interior designers and DIY enthusiasts alike a new angle to reconsider the interior, the smaller size of Labette is a finely engineered piece of bathroom ware. Without compromising on the user experience, Labette can be fitted comfortably into the most snug of bathrooms

    Is someone having a Turkish??

    There's a track alongside the cemetery. You can even 'drive' up it on Streetview.
