I think I can guess which one. There is a car radio in the (red tiled) bathroom :cool::rotfl:

Yes, my downstairs loo's so big, it'd count as a small bedroom in some houses! And, yes, light switches are lower - took me quite a few months to adjust to reaching for them in the dark before I could find them.

Well, not to be blunt, you might be disabled by this time next week - fickle finger of fate and all that.

I like a downstairs loo - and nothing against that being disabled accessible... it's just that the implementation by developers when they're just looking at the bottom line means you end up with a loo in the wrong place, taking up too much space. A carbunkle on home enjoyment.

The kind of down stairs loo /utility set up would make sense to me I think. I suppose this might be over rection for some of the ridiculously tiny loos that went in some new builds so e years ago. A local chum has a loo that's only saving grace is that it is less ridiculous than the shower room. My friend is about doozer girls height and cannot get into the shower, and there is a strange space behind it which only the family cat can fit in, so its full of the cats spoils....stolen socks, cat nip mice and stuff.

HutH this morning had some guy buying a disused ambulance station on the outskirts of a welsh valley with high unemployment. He planned to turn it into a hotel for the disabled and cyclists. 3 years later and he was still struggling to get started. Not planning regulation but the discovery of a single newt. Said newt had to have a personal trench dug to find its way beck to countryside and underground barriers put in place to stop further newts strolling to hotel. In years gone by, the newt would have be run over by an ambulance and no-one do more than shrug. No-one mentioned that there may not be much call for a hotel in an area that offers nothing more than high unemployment and newt spotting.

I did find it rather strange. He had his late mother's house money and seemed to be following a dream, rather than having done any sound business research and analysis on the plan.

Felt sorry for him re the newt.

Think we have finally come full circle....Josh has been invited to take part in a musical tour of Italy with the school!

Due to his various conditions, he has never been invited to do anything like this before, nor been allowed to go on the residential school trips ever before (unlike James), so it shows just how far he has come over the years.

That is good news! Does he want to go? How many people do the school take. Almost worthy of a PN posh alert, fancy a school taking a musical tour of a furrin country.
