Idyllic (more from estate agents)

“Set within an idyllic location between the Rochdale Canal and the river…”

That’ll be on the flood plain then.

On the bright side, when the market crashes, the owner of this house won’t be left high and dry. 🙂

  1. Blimey, don’t they have to say: THIS IS A FLOOD PLAIN nowadays if it is? 😯
    I know that area well, it does flood badly. That football pitch around the corner spends nearly half the year submerged doesn’t it?

  2. At least you have some ready-made ideas for the name for the house:
    Mesopotamia
    Dun Insurin’ – you won’t be able to get any on the new place
    Titanic

  3. Wonder if they would grant planning consent to convert the garage to a boathouse.

  4. It’s the idyllic and Rochdale (331st out of 409 best places to live as a family) in the same sentence that is confusing me.

  5. Well, anywhere is better than Reading.

  6. We’re still laughing at that one Tim 😆

  7. You live in Reading, what have you got to laugh about. 🙂
    (TBH, I struggle to see that there is that much wrong with Reading – how does it manage to come so low?)

  8. Well, I think the clue is in the RD’s list of criteria that they got people to rate 🙂 http://www.readersdigest.co.uk/best-places-to-bring-up-a-family-i-235.html
    I would have put “Things to actually *DO*” on my list 😉
    And “Good public transport”, boringly and unamusingly.
