    Not only the bird (a budgie to me), I could always see my dad's handwriting ("Dad") half way down, three quarters across.

    I'd forgotten that, great to see it again as I've lost my dad since living in a house with the budgie tiles.:)

    Crikey! I've had to "live" in bedsits before...but even I am struggling to see just where you could put any clothes at all.

    Time warp


    http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-27632178.html?premiumA=true

    My theory on that is "one time warp house = check out other houses nearby and, if there's a lot like that, then that is when the Area Last Had Money....and then the jobs went..."

    Not many dyslexics would spell their address wrongly.

    That's a corker. But who in their right mind would install a full size cooker, sink and kitchen units in a space that size? It's not a bad size for a pied a Terre compared one like this, which were probably cleaner' s or porter's cupboards in a previous life.

    They could easily have a half sink, two rings, a wall mounted small oven and space for clothes storage. Get rid of the washing machine too. There's no tv or music either, so maybe it is for someone who wants to read in bed, you couldn't easily even play cards or a board game without a hard surface that you can sit at.

    Brilliant spot. Thanks

    There's another very similar in the building that has a mezzanine bed level that looks much more liveable, I seem to recall.

    ETA: Here's the link, this one is narrower, but they've made the most of the space. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-29164065.html Still wouldn't want to "live" in either though!
