Maybe we need a new 'Has this cat slept on your bed?" thread.Patr100 said:
I wonder if that cat doesn't actually live there either and just happen to drop in for the pictures...Hannimal said:
This is actually just down the street from me and I know this cat. When I first moved here I had an electrician doing some work in my main bedroom. As the electrician was leaving he told me he let my cat out, the "fat black one", he said. I was confused. Turns out this cat came in when the electrician got back from lunch, sat on my bed while the electrician was doing the job, pretended to live here, and then asked the electrician to let him out before being found out. I am just down the street and about 120% certain this is the same cat.General_Grant said:
True. And terraced in more ways than one.Hannimal said:
Most important - spot the cat.
BTW, I think being terraced in this way brings the price down. This is very affordable for this area - houses same size on the next street - granted they're Victorian - sell for half a million.

It's a very childish thing to think, and would be an even more childish thing to do, but if I won the Euro Lottery I might consider buying that place. Next on the shopping list would be a mechanical digger with grab attachment which would be used to very slowly raze the place to the ground.edgex said:

pic 21 - 2 kitchens?!

The master bedroom is just daft, & is a real contrast to how normal the other bedrooms are.

Everyone is entitled to their fantasy no matter how childish 😊 Not sure I would described it as childish but it would be a really odd way to burn a few mill....Ditzy_Mitzy said:

I think there's some more deserving places (many linked to in this thread haha!). But I admire your dedication to ridding the world of naff houses. Have you seen the McMansion Hell blog? https://mcmansionhell.com/

Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
