    My favourite daydream is imagining the fun the next owners had removing the anaglypta from our last house. It was a magnet for our two kittens, who wanted to use accessible areas as a huge scratching post.

    I solved that problem with glassfibre resin painted on to around 0.8m and liberally emulsioned-over afterwards! :rotfl:

    They got the house dead cheap anyway.:p


    About 3 years later, I had to visit them on a seperate matter, and you can guess where I looked first when they invited me in!


    Needn't have worried. They hadn't changed a thing; not even the threadbare living room carpet I fretted about prior to going on the market.
