You'd never get that weather down your way!

Almost all of you will have seen this wonderful collection of buildings from the air on the last 3 weeks.

The Lord of the Manor is our landlord.  He's a really nice bloke and regularly comes round to wrestle with the plumbing in our house.

He has 2 driveways and we aren't at the end of either.

I'll give a clue. In fact I'll give three clues. In chronological order.

Shipping.
Education.

The only phone related topic I can remember that was in the news 2 weeks ago was the anniversary of the first STD phone call.
From Bristol to Edinburgh but the picture doesn't look like either of them ???

You may be close, but you have to be closer than that.

And what's more - you will now need to explain the Shipping. Education. Phones links.  ;D

Well, obviously Ross was one of the founders of Carphone Warehouse and was in the news a couple of weeks ago for using over £150m worth of shares as security on a loan.  Phones - check.

The house was previously owned by the Cunard family. Shipping - check.

In between Ross and Cunard, it was a school.  Education - check!

And it's Nevill Holt Hall in Leicestershire  ;D
