With all due respect, street after street of terrace houses don't set my heart to singing either......

I refuse to do the self-checkout thing at the grocery stores for that very reason. If they could, they'd have one person working the entire store and machines everywhere. I prefer the human contact thankyouverymuch.

Well at least the Victorian ones have some neat character features inside. It's the post WWII ones that don't appeal to me.
Now if someone would give me a thatched cottage............

Give me an American detached anytime, where you can't hear the next door neighbours banging against the headboard or arguing. History has it's drawbacks (so to speak)

True, we set a comforter on fire when we were staying in the other half of what had been a 16th century inn. The bedroom was up two flights of stairs with the bed shoved under the beams on the side of the room. We'd have been up the creek if we'd had to try to get out of it.
