    That one from last week, the Glass House, is still on the market at £2.65m.

    I find it rather attractive.

    I wonder just what is wrong with it; apart from having to admit living near Sidcup.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      No nuclear bunker in the backyard?

        Yes - good stop over for walkers. Gotta be worth it!

          An expensive wine cellar perhaps?

            A guy I worked with on a recent gig was in negotiations for one of the command and control bunkers in the North West, it was nuclear hardened and a lot larger than the one you linked.
            He was outbid in the long run which was a pity, he really wanted the place and his plans were pretty impressive.

              It would make a great DC or archive repository however in the event of an imminent nuclear attack, HMC would soon turf you out.

                Not if the blast doors are big enough and you close 'em down...

                    There is just one problem - the only connection to that bunker is a BT line, probably safe to say it is miles away from any exchange, here is what the ebay link says:

                    "There is a BT line to a telephone in the bunker. However, communication would have been via teletalk (as seen in the photo). "

                    AtW. Surely this would be perfect for you?

                      I hope to be in the market for one soon, but I'll need a much bigger one - I'll reserve a place for you there MF, you'll be doing the dirty bunker work when the lights go out
