Real Estate: Castles in Europe

[Zero000]

A few shots I took in the Long Room above at Heckfield Place for good measure.

Nice British decor I think.

I stayed in a lesser room. My niece had this one whilst acquiring a husband

I like the design of the attic-room-floor. A lot of open space, very spacious but at the same time the fireplace gives you a feeling of homey privacy.

Prince Harry & Megan slept in this here exact same bed in the Long Room.

LOL.

LOL.

This comment leaves me with so many questions. Did Megan forget her hairbrush?

No.

But I spent some time engaged in forensic activities searching for ginger remnants to sell on ebay....

No luck though

Now, now!

Ginge and Whinge are a horrible, despicable couple. They should be excommunicated!

I guess it would not be so so easy if your granny is the head of the church (supreme governor).

I admire the Ginge for being a royal and having the balls to smoke spliffs TBH.

Not so sure about the Whinge

I guess you could think of spliffs as an allegory for everything that should be verboten, especially in public. I guess there are two levels of analysis here.
A) He may indeed be more rebellious than his older brother as he never felt a part of the bubble. Predominantly, because he is sixth in line, so why would he care anyway.
B) It could also be the image sold by the media. I am not coining a conspiracy theory here, but how media portray somebody matters a great deal. Perhaps, William also had a few bloopers in the past, but it was toned down and Harry's adventures were not. Such a contrast works in favour of the Royal family. All the loyal subjects of the Crown will be able to sympathise/ identify with one of the two images. One being strength, stability and responsibility represented by the older brother and the second one being a closer to people side of the family with a human face.

Also, you always need a black sheep in the family to make the other sheep look better.

I just call a twat a twat.

That is very interesting Marc, thank you.

Does the Grade 1 listing also mean that, without changing walls or tearing anything down or replacing windows or doors, the purchaser cannot add drywall or soffits or a dropped ceiling to run HVAC ducting? Or replace plumbing fixtures, bathrooms and kitchen appliances?

Yeah, but if someone accidentally knocked the whole thing over? What then? Would it be considered Grade 1 Rubble? Just thinking outside the box.
