Saw this for rent, and they want 'Professionals only'.

They're describing it as 'A delightful semi-detached dwelling' and 'This fine home provides comfortable three bedroom/two reception accommodation'
Doesn't look too comfortable to me, imagine having to spend one night in one of those awful bedrooms
Fine home? Looks more like a timewarp

And its fully furnished! Sure you'd have to stick the furniture in the attic its that dated.

This one's had a newly fitted kitchen but it looks like they haven't finished it. There's a unit beside the washing machine with no door, and what's going on in the 2nd photo of the kitchen - a big gap between the units. The units in that corner look like they've just been shoved in. What's the pipe sticking up for?

Looks like they've been using a play pen as a laundry basket!

This one's supposed to have 'mature gardens to front and rear'. Well I've looked but haven't found any there. It looks like someone's gone on the rampage with weedkiller.

Prepare yourself for a brown bathroom suite. I don't know how they stick looking at the every day.

my wee dundonian gran would wash her clothes in the twin tub and put them through the mangle and hing them on the pulley if it was raining and she couldnt get them out the back green.

a pulley makes me nostalgic:beer:

Surely that's not "brown" but "mink".

Cross Green is a dump! That is the area, not just the last two houses.

Yep. And the back to backs were scheduled to be ripped down at least 15 years ago. I think the bars on most windows and the anti-joy-riding barricades on the streets add a certain something to the ambiance though ;-)
