My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.
What stuff do you think is common?

Already been mentioned, but it's such a big one it's worth mentioning twice:False leaded windows.
Let me get this right. You want to make your home look as if it's really old and posh, with "windows 1.0". Correct me if I'm wrong, but the early glazing pioneers didn't usually use uPVC frames; and even less often installed them in sixties suburban semidetached houses.
So you've kind of 'epic failed' at the first hurdle, and made your house look *less* refined.
