2. This house is not an ex-council house.


So it's still a council house, then? You didn't have the money to
exercise your right to buy under Thatcher?

In
this road are the first houses to be built for private occupation after
the war, and were opened by the then housing minister.


In other words, they were built down to a price, since there was little
money to spend after the war, and boy does it show. Your single-glazed
steel-framed windows are the originals, 60+ years old, and you claim to
be spending money on BMWs. Yeah, right. Are your sockets still round-
pin with decaying rubber wiring?

That's a grim little estate you live on, Evans. Looking at the state of
your neighbours' places, I can see you're in good company. You can tell
the council-houseyness of an area by counting the number of satellite
dishes, and Hardens Close ranks pretty high.

With all the houses facing each other across that little patch of
scrubland, there must be a veritable snowstorm of net curtains twitching
whenever someone comes back from cruising in his little turquoise jeep-
wannabe
