OT Streetview and my old student digs

[ARW]

I lived at no 10

Looks like no 12 has stolen no 8's wheelie bin:-)

[Tim Watts]

What's with the general dereliction? And the green boarded house opposite?

[Fredxxx]

Has it never recovered?

[ARW]

It's Liverpool?

As to the house opposite I am afraid I have no info as I last lived on that street in 1992.

[GB]

The whole road is dying of shame. :)

Look, you expect a sympathetic response? This is Usenet.

Nuff said... I though it was Yorkshire...

Bloody southerner, appen :-)

What do you mean student digs? You were a student? As in getting educated? I don't believe it.

Do we multiply the number of DIY installed burglar alarms, England flags, and steel-boarded windows, to obtain a deprivation factor?

Divide that number by the different shades of red they painted the terrace.

Bloody hell it's cheap - Immaculate 6 bed house for £118k

Gawd - I've been living the SouthEast too long... That would buy you a converted bus shelter with sitting tenants around here.

[Huge]

You could get a "nice" statuic caravan round here for that. Which kind-of proves your point.

[ARW]

It was not posh when I lived there but it looks to have gone to the dogs (like many areas of the UK)

Now I have just spotted something funny.

You can scroll back on that street view for older images.

The scaffolding at no 18 has been up there since 2008:-)

[Tim Watts]

Hey - someone who's DIY is taking longer than mine!

[Tim Streater]

There's a building in central Canterbury that's held up by a number of girders. I'm told that has been there for a considerable number of years.

I had a scaffold tower up for so long, it became such a joke amongst our friends that for my 50th birthday a couple of years ago, someone made a cake decorated with a scaffold tower up against the house :-)

[Tim Watts]

At least my scaffold came down a couple of months after the roof was finished :)

However my electrical work is spanning so long in phases I think I will have to do it "properly" and write out 3 EICs... (I have not actually written one out yet, but I logged all the tests in a spreadsheet). I was going to combine to one, but that's getting a bit of a joke now...

[ARW]

One each for the 16th, 17th and 18th edition regs:-)?

[Tim Watts]

:)

No we managed to keep it in the 17th.

And I pre-empted the forthcoming amendment by choosing a metal CU in the first place - hehe...
