The proximity of a house in any area, is important. I used to think my departed sister was talking out of her arse on this matter, she was correct, location does no refer to a County.

There was no D/glazing or Central Heating, but an open Coal Fire that made delicious toast as well as warming our legs.

I can't remeber ever being unhappy there, or coverting houses in the best arears.

My early years were in Manchester inner city too. Outside lavatory as well. In our house it was "shemoosh" which was not in any way rude.

I remeber having to cut newspaper into neat sqaures to hang on a piece of string in th Toilet, not much different to Jeyes Toilet paper which was very hard and scratchy.

I would go for a small house in a nice area.

I'm finding our old Victorian house is far too big for our needs now. I do like the area though.

If you had a big house in a bad area it’s pretty much worthless anyway

It depends on the area and the house. A bad area to one might be sublime to another as well as the house

Size is not everything, peace of mind is.

Newspaper? Seldom, mostly San Izal. One had to learn how to --- tenderise it -- before use.

Then we moved to Sale (Cheshire) and the genuine joys of a bidet.
