Not to mention that in most of London, you don't own the land that it sits on. You may own the house, but the land is usually part of a long term (thnk 100 year) lease.

It should be cheap to heat, assuming the neighbors heat.

I stopped watching the news the two years I was going to college. When I sat down to watch some coverage I was really distressed as to how much emotion was tossed into a news story. (I learned a lot from speech class with using emotion to help guide a story.) One story really ticked me off. It started that a man "who committed the crime of killing another will get off Scott free." When the commercial break was done it continued with a story where a man started a fight at McDonalds and the defending man choked the other guy into submission. And that the local Sheriff ruled it a justifiable homicide. This included sighs and gasp of anguish and shock from other reports and news people in the studio. Since then I haven't watched any news, local or national.

Including this damn hurricane.

Good heavens it dont look like theres enough room in that house to turn around i wonder if it was built by a skinny person?
