No Class at all!

Modern society in general has no "class". I put it down to the failure of our educational system married to the success of TV for the mentally challenged.

Near us there is a beautiful flat-roofed art-deco house for sale. The price is something approaching £800,000. The estate agent's blurb goes into all the usual detail, and then adds - "with planning permission for pitched roofs". Aaaarghhh. There are people around with £800,000 art deco houses who think it's a good idea to put pitched roofs on them? I'm sure they'll add electric wrought iron gates and reconstituted stone lions, it'll be soooo much nicer.

Incidentally, I think Brtish roofs are bollo anyway. What's with all these individually nailed slates / tiles. I'd want shallow-pitch no-maintenance fibre-glass that I could walk on, if I had the choice.
