Woh; I searched for the "wattle" thread. Gross. Let's never start one.
Also: just realized today that "MT Wessel" is not entirely dissimilar to "empty vessel". WOAH.

Clever boy.  I shouldn't be too sarcastic. 'Ron Dough' took me a while (although we're talking back in TOP days - I'm not that slow!). |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

I'm writing this in a friend's flat in Edinburgh. Saw a flat this afternoon and I'm due to see two more tomorrow. The flat this afternoon was ok except for the fact that there was no central heating  and although the agent said that it would be warm because of the flats on either side and below, there was a rather large storage heater in the bedroom that begged to differ. Beginning to think that I should be looking at furnished flats and jettison my furniture. It now looks like my parents might rent the Durham house out until the housing market recovers a little, so it might be best this way. |

I was going to say, hh (only didn't get round to it) that when I lived in Edinburgh, aeons ago, it was very cold, but I thought they would probably have got round to central heating by now. Obviously not!

It was a lovely warm day today, and it's a south facing flat so it was quite warm when I viewed it.
But I don't think I'd like to be in there on a dark January morning...

h-h TRUST ME!!! I know, I've been there. It is absolutely 'taters in Edinburgh. Don't have anything without central heating and if you can, a coal fire as well and also have a couple of little independent heaters......also invest in lots of hot water bottles and bedsocks!

hh,
Please don't consider anything without central heating. When it's cold in Edinburgh, it's freezing - much worse than here, though we're further up the coast - a damp cold which gets through to the bones: it's only a few days a year, but if you don't have a cosy wee nest to retreat to, those few days can be really nasty.

Clever boy. I shouldn't be too sarcastic. 'Ron Dough' took me a while (although we're talking back in TOP days - I'm not that slow!). I think I was present when George Garnett and Ron Dough first met. To a cheery cry from George of 'ah, you must be Ron Duff'. |
