I have just learnt of a new word – wigwag. Or at least a new meaning of the word. I have heard of wig and of wag or that windscreen wipers go wigwag, but I did not realise that the red lights at level crossings and fire stations were also called wigwags.
I have three places I need to be tomorrow – I’ll be walking to all of them.
Over the year people have asked me what are the restrictions on building on a piece of land – as shown “here”:http://www.audacity.org/downloads/audacity-where-to-build-01.pdf
In order to save costs, a number of county governments are turning some street lights off at night – the Highways Agency is also cutting lighting on some motorways in the small hours.
Supposing that people could build a home anywhere in Britain. No restrictions – as long as it was safe to live in. What would happen? My guess is that house building would rocket and house prices would, in general, fall. People could realistically buy their first house in their twenties rather than their thirties. If they didn’t want to buy they could rent instead at much lower levels than today.
