Re: house design
[QUOTE=Rich_007]Batty,
Having lived in both (numerous types/ages of UK homes) I think that Canadian homes are built more in a practical and functional manner. By this I mean stuff can be ripped out or updated easier, additions can be bolted on simply, stuff if accessible, walls can be ripped out or added etc.
Rather like those crazy "Smart Cars" buzzing around.

I don't believe we have any higher deaths due to house fires, much to the surprise of a lot of expat Brits. It's not as if you hear of numerous house fires on the news every day, so we must be doing something right
Perhaps you are over-regulated in the U.K.
PS - please please dont imply any inherent criticism in my reply.
