Things people don't say when house-hunting, a short thread:
"Y'see I love the house but what I'm really looking for is somewhere with plenty of through traffic, all hours of the day"

"och it'd be perfect... just that with it being a cul-de-sac wouldn't you feel a bit... y'know... kettled?"

[*to the estate agent*]: "so, what are the emergency service response-times like on this street?"

"The house? Absolutely perfect. But.. y'see, taxis will have to take a slightly-more circuitous route to get here therefore, with regret, I'm out."

"I am deeply-concerned about air pollution and volumes of motor traffic on the main road"

"I'm sorry but If you can't easily get an articulated-lorry down my street, then that's a deal-breaker in my eyes"
