Speak for yourself. My house is 120 years old and aside from electricity and an inside loo is pretty much as per original spec.

If everything else in it is as it was 120 years ago, why do you even need the electricity?

Only when I'm here (or, more accurately, "now"*).
In 1898 there's no local grid to hook it up to, so it's back to the steam and hand cranks.
* - something of a moot point considering the planet has moved quite some distance in the intervening period

That's what they say in 1898 when they see my bootcut jeans.

The internet is full of creative hacks from people who pride themselves on their ability to scrimp and save. Are they worth trying?

I didn't notice anything anti-working class or particularly toxic there.
Granted, sometimes the Graun is a bit iffy with this kind of article, but this looks ok.

Not sure I’d want someone with that condition serving food.

When you see the 3D mock-ups on Grand Designs I always think, where are you going to keep the hoover? All these beautiful, flowing spaces bathed in light, but nowhere to put the fucking hoover.

I'm sure if you pay enough you can get a cleaner who takes the ugly thing back home with her and stores it in her hovel instead of in your showhome.

Didn't read that first time I saw it. He's a bit biased because he's got a second home himself and it mentions some of the blights in passing but it's very short on blessings.Won’t someone please think of the second home owners?

Choicest quote for me:
"There is intense hostility to mostly English newcomers in counties such as Gwynedd, which now charges me £8,768 council tax a year on a modest seaside property, which would be four times the tax on a larger property in west London. This is crazy local economics and merely ensures that second homes are only for the very rich."
(Mind you he could offset that by selling his second home for a huge fucking profit having lived there part of the year 'since childhood'. )
Closely followed by:
"A better approach would be to draw up a voluntary charter offered to anyone registering a second home in a new community." Yep voluntary charter is all that's needed.
Must say it's not the council tax that's stopping me buying a second home...

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
Well it's fairly safe bet there aren't many poor second home owners anyway but he's right to a point. All these tax them out strategies seem to be doing is raising the threshold at which the nouveau rich get priced out by the filthy rich.
I personally can't see how this problem is going to be solved tbh.
The council can't stop home owners selling to whomever they want.
Even this restricting who can buy new houses won't stop the buyer selling it on in a year or two.
