16 double sockets
I just viewed a house I might buy. Its a repossession so a good chance to move up the ladder etc.
Anyway, they have converted the loft into a granny flat, it has its own access. Its one large room with a bathroom attached. It has 16 fucking double sockets in this one room.

Thats 32 actual plug sockets.

In one room.

I think they must have been growing dope up there and needed the power. What do you reckon? I mean, 32 fucking plugs in one room? Thats a lot surely?

Alt q - guilty pleasures?
( zulu eh?, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 21:59, 93 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

Man, I dream of that many plug sockets
although that many wouldn't fit in any of the rooms here.

You're right
I never have anywhere near enough sockets. it's either juggling appliances in and out of sockets as needed, or we have extension sockets plugged into more extension sockets.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 22:25, Reply)

because I was neither attractive nor popular
The only reason I was there at all was that I, as a boarder, lived in the school.
