London has gotten crazy. I can understand that it's a student flat at the moment and is being sold on for proper money. A 4 bed place round there is always going to cost plenty.

But then, seriously? You don't have to take decent pictures or market the place in any sort of meaningful way except bung it up on the interwebs and someone will buy it regardless.

I just wondered whether it was actual marketing failure or what that makes a picture of an impressively long corridor ( which certainly shows length and thus potential size) but not kitchen ( or a full bathroom shot)


I also think its interesting I. That context the loo looks not uncivilised. Its not like animals live there, just messy people....so, what was wrong with the kitchen and bathroom that day?

Probably nothing. That's just what flats to let are pictured like oftentimes. Why bother taking new photos if the place is expected to sell in a week or 2?

LJ and I will convene at "Wednesbury", which they have finally renamed Birmingham, as most of us looking for it would call it.

Gravadlax for me, with that lingonberry squash and almondy cake

Better sort my dapper clothes out to look my best then!

I must have written "Wednesbury unreasonable" hundreds of times over the past 10 years, without ever connecting it to Birmingham!

Please don't associate Wednesbury with Birmingham. It's 20 miles away.

A lot of midlanders get very annoyed with being linked to Birmingham.
Wednesbury is closer to Walsall and Wolverhampton. From Birmingham you have to travel through Sandwell to get there.

I remember working at a service station just after junction 11 of the m6. For a while it was renamed birmingham north !!!!!!.

Man I wish I'd bought that flat off Russell Sq for £39k when I had the chance.

So do I . I would visit.
