    There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out.

    Pretty awful dark shots here also, taken at night and combined with a dark wallpaper

    Even funnier, the virtual tour appears to be of a completely different flat!

    Ahh, the misplace optimism of the Estate Agent:

    Another phrase I love is - "We are delighted to offer...", especially if it's followed by - "first time on the market for 40 years".

    I think it's the same flat, however the hideous wallpaper has been added since the original pictures were taken for the virtual tour. We used to own one of the other flats in the block when my husband worked away from home and lived in it. I can only begin to imagine how overpowering that wallpaper must seem in a room that size.

    They're not the best of decorators. That wallpaper leaves a lot to be desired. But if you look at the virtual tour they've removed it and it's taken in the daytime. Looks a lot better!.


    I think it's the reverse. I saw the pictures a while on rightmove with what is showing in the virtual tour. These dark ones are newer photos!

    I was just about to type 'I had a boyfriend once who used to keep his up all year round', then I realised how that sounded :eek:

    I meant his Christmas decs ;)

    Oh, I thought you meant his penis.

    I think half of Crawley has lived there at some time or other ;) Have they fixed the rising damp?

    What are 'his and her toilets'? Looking at the pics, I'm thinking a bucket AND a bottle?

    Commercial premises - two WC rooms, one marked Gents, the other Ladies... No?
