This is a bit out of my range but it looks a bargain for some Gransnetter.

The spirals in those topiary trees at the front are twisting in the wrong direction I'm afraid. So not for me.

Can someone 'blue it ' please?

Come on Frank you should know by now how to post a link that works!

(Or you should by now know.......)

hmm do you think you could get a stairlift to fit that staircase?

Notso Tue 19-Mar-13 18:45:30

You'd need a stair lift to carry up all the cleaning stuff you'd need to scrub that spilled ink in the bathroom.

Galen Tue 19-Mar-13 18:49:26

Do you usually spill ink in the bathroom? I normally spill it in my study or in my library

The problem is that the internal décor is so naff it is going to cost the £35 million they have cut the price to completely gut it and refit it, and perhaps dig a HUGE basement, every billionaire has a HUGE basement in their house these days

Those cobwebs on the bathroom walls look as though they've been there for years!

Galen Tue 19-Mar-13 18:54:31

That's to keep the Renoirs etc on.

Notso Tue 19-Mar-13 18:55:49

Someone has been very careless with the ink in that bathroom Galen, you'd think they would have wiped it down before the photos were taken. No marketing skills.

And don't even go there with the home cinema.....what use is only 6 seats? No wonder it's reduced.

Galen Tue 19-Mar-13 18:57:16

Far too naff I agree. Perhaps the Middletons might buy it?

Mishap Tue 19-Mar-13 19:01:21

I think I will settle for my nice little cottage - I wouldn't give you tuppence for that ghastly decor.

Lilygran Tue 19-Mar-13 19:23:52

Stairlift? You mean there isn't a proper lift?

Orca Tue 19-Mar-13 19:38:35

It has a 'panic room'...always wanted one of those.

Galen Tue 19-Mar-13 19:42:54

My children always said that on our boat if anything went wrong 'daddy shouted and mummy panicked' I obviously need one!

Bags Tue 19-Mar-13 19:43:17

Yuck! Completely yuck!

annsixty Tue 19-Mar-13 19:45:26

Frank does have a sense of humour after all.

Orca Tue 19-Mar-13 19:53:47

Galen I usually retreat to the shed.

Galen Tue 19-Mar-13 19:54:53

Noway! Members of the arachnid family live three!

Galen Tue 19-Mar-13 19:55:25

Why did iPad decide to change there to three?

Orca Tue 19-Mar-13 20:01:14

They have to live somewhere, you wouldn't have them homeless and seeking out new places to live would you? Then they might wander into your house.....

Orca Tue 19-Mar-13 20:02:13

Or your boat.....
