    Could just be their own vehicle Parked on the drive?

    I like that house and would happily live there, if my DW could be persuaded to move.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    And possibly the smallest avocado bathroom seen for a long time.


    I can so relate to this place, it almost feels like home. I had the same lampshade (pics 9&10)

    Yes, stupid error, which could have been avoided, but I'm amazed no one has noticed that this is the first "Spot Excalibur" we've had! :D

    Satellite view would seem to indicate that the road is in fact a private shared driveway.
    Her courage will change the world.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
  • That bedroom is 'Bedroom 3' in the layout. The vehicle is parked right outside it, in the spot you can see in front of the bushes on the right in the first image. Probably should have moved it before taking that photo.
  • Terrible pictures! Looks like the estate agent took all the photos on their mobile phone and (except for pic 1) didn't even have the gumption to do them in landscape mode...

    Most of the EAs round here still use old budget Vivitar digital cameras from the early 2000s!

    Off topic, but my old Sony from 2006 still takes sharper close-ups than my 20 megawotsit 2016 Panasonic and handles low light better too, but I admit it wasn't really budget.

    Bigger screens and lots of bells and whistles on the newer models + oodles of zooOoom, but more pixels don't make up for a poor sensor and a mediocre lens.

    TBH my wife's 'phone's pictures nowadays aren't that shabby either. Me? I have a phone that does pictures if you stick a card in it and pray....

    You'd think so, but contractions aren't particularly valued.


    Can I get an ology in the subject?
    I know it will be tough, but it will be more worthwhile than media, or (my favourite non-achievement), gender studies?

    I was only born in the East End and never lived there for more than the first few days of my life! :o[

    Hats off to you Dave. Thanks.
    You absorbed an enormous amount in such a short time!!.
    I'm in awe:T :D

    Not sure about Cockneyology; sounds a bit rude or medical. Maybe my cousin, posh Dave, can fix you up with a nice low mileage diploma....might have a little bit of welding, but nothing major. :cool:

    I'm afraid youthful, sponge-like absorption is no more. At my age, taking on board anything new means off-loading something else first!:(
