i doubt this is interesting to anyone else
My house has a story with it. The previous owner's family left me a 'good luck in your new home' card in which they told me the house had been in the family since 1937 when it was built. Today i found another clue about the guy who was in it last (something written on a piece of card, possibly for a carer). He was born in Poland and came here in 1945 and must have married into the family.

Well, I thought it was interesting, anyway

I've recently discovered that believing in ghosts has made me an object of riddical.

The old dear we bought our house from
Bought it directly from the builder in 1939. She showed us the original contract, which she had kept. It had cost her the princely sum of £535. We paid her a fair bit more than that for it...

£535 eh?
Taking the average salary then and the average salary now today's price (if it was the same value against salary) of about 104,000. Bet it was more!

It was less than that when we bought it
But is more than that now.

I shouldn't have got into this, my knowledge of furniture polish brands isn't very good.
I think you'll clean up.
