What, *all* of them??

The back garden is pretty well lit too by the floodlights on the fence.

I'm just wondering - why? The best wired cannabis farm in Britain, or bitcoin mining?

I'll soon be closer to a Lidl than an Aldi.

The unopened Lidl already shows on Google maps.

Crikey.... The seller must be a shareholder in both BHP Billiton and in Rio Tinto!

(BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are joint venture owners in the Escondido mine in Chile. Escondida is the world's biggest copper mine)

Well...

I see the house is unoccupied... How long before scrap metal thieves break in and strip all the copper out?

Hope the house has a commercial grade CCTV and alarm system to protect what appears to be the UK'S national copper reserve....

Whoever buys it and moves in is guaranteed to never get arthritis!

It's a bargain at that price...

The value of the copper far exceeds the asking price!

A basic 3 bed semi over-extended at the back, with a really ugly loft

Maybe a patient care lounge, wired services for beds and such.

There are some circular 3-inch sockets at socket height all over the
place, even either side of the WC. What could they be?

They're at 31. The house is 41 which was Lan Constructions Group Ltd - Building Construction Contractors at some time (according to 192.com) And there are too many panels of sockets for the number of beds you could get in a room. I think any sort of medical or commercial facility would have used bedhead/dado trunking. Somebody went to a lot of time to put in all those flush sockets.

This shows it furnished and for rent (which would also match the non-upkeep of the garden)
https://www.andrew-pearce.co.uk/prop...d/100415004374

The "circular 3-inch sockets at socket height all over the place, even either side of the WC." are quite ddefinately lights. I suppose in a care environment they could be below bed level to light the floor for nurses at night, but this doesn't appear to have been a care establishment.

But it only works with a bangle over the wrist, ankle or bell end.
According to those that use them.

Yes my point precisely, their wrist, ankle and bell end are all surrounded by copper in that house!

Bill

When I lived in (South) Harrow, a neighbour used to describe their house
as "Pinner".

As with most places, some of Pinner is very posh. But it bleeds into
North Harrow, which is less so, and onto West Harrow, which is less so
still.

Eastcote borders Ruislip (our current PMs bolthole) - not far from
Northolt airport which had all sorts of odd goings on in the 1970s ....

Rather like "Hove, actually"

Fine if whatever they're feeding conceals them. Otherwise, look like a
bodge.

Ours are shoved behind/under sofas and chairs. Not in sight at all. With
an added bonus that you don't need to move furniture to get to them.

Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? ;-)
