 i doubt this is interesting to anyone else
	i doubt this is interesting to anyone elseMy 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

 The old dear we bought our house from
	The old dear we bought our house fromBought 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!
