Our neighbour just bought the exact same make model and colour of car as my Mrs. Suspect serial killers.
i bet their one is probably 1 year newer or has fewer miles? maybe they paid less. they'll need something to brag about.

When I worked in the motor trade, we had a customer ask us if we could change her neighbours order. Neighbour had ordered the same marque and colour, neighbour not really bothered about the colour, but it was one we had in stock. tongue outtongue out

Our neighbour this very moment. Instead of doing the normal thing of shredding up his cardboard and putting it into his recycling bin has decided to burn all of his cardboard in the backgarden in a metal bin. Pretty selfish IMO, i've closed all of the windows because of the smoke.

I believe that there are some rules and regulations regarding bonfires, especially in built up areas.

Ours has listed their house for sale but never mentioned it to us. The previous owners of the same house did the same! scratchchin

Post link to the listing - we can all ask for pics of their sex playroom/dungeon. Are they fit? Do they have err.... regular ‘visitors’?

My bungalow is a 4 bed, only needed a 3 bed

Saw an advert come up for a nice three bed where we wanted it, no floor plan and minimal pictures

Went to view it, wife quickly twigs there are 4 beds

No extensions.

The kids selling dead parents house seemed useless so I suspect never checked the details


Very strange but I’m very happy

I was once sat in my grandma's house when the rather attractive woman in the house behind was getting undressed in the bathroom after dark with the blinds open. Presumably she assumed the frosted glass would be enough for privacy.

I'm finding this hard to visualise, we need photos and diagrams to make a judgement.

It's possible that legally it's not a fourth bedroom due to size, or windows. I saw plenty of 3 / 4 bedroom houses where the last bedroom was "bedroom / study".

Although one house we went to see didn't let us in one room because the teenage son was moping around in there at the time.

The size of the fourth bedroom is almost the sale as #2 and #3.

I dont think that there is anything 'special' going on, she is 60 and less than 5 foot tall so as a dominatrix she would be crap.

It would be like being told off by your mum.

When my mother put her 3 bed on the market , the estate agents described one of the bedrooms as a box room. It's about 10x12ft and has a walk in closet that is closer to the size of a bloody box room.

Some corner houses on our estate are listed as 4 bedrooms, but are 3 and a nursery at best. One of them was a show home when the estate was built and they had a specially made bed in the 4th bedroom with a foam mattresslaugh

TBF it swings both ways. I rented a house in Cardiff that was a 4 bed, and we were pleased to find an additional box room. We even had a summer placement student sublet it for 3 months.

Perhaps it was a HMO limitation but we saw plenty of other houses which would have called it a bedroom.

Sounds suspiciously like our student house. Didn't happen to be on Mackintosh Place did it? hehe

I just re read it, makes no sense to me

Long story short the bungalow we purchased was described as a three bed, but had 4 double bed rooms.

No mention of one bedroom at all in the marketing stuff

Nah, I was a Yuppy at the time in the northern suburbia.
