OTOH you'd need a hat with a very wide brim.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

There's a similar one of those between the Hoo Peninsula and Sheerness.
It was on the market a few years ago, with the added cachet of having 'Number One, River Thames' as the address.

I assume there is no council tax. Or they'd have to collect your bins.
Admission.  I'm actually not that fussed about cake.

It looks like a guano goldmine.

You wouldn't get any annoying junk mail and you wouldn't need a parking permit.

Bet you'd still get the jehova's witnesses.

I'm not sure if Gatwick really counts as 'Provinces', but it's a good illustration of how anything relating to air travel is over-reported in the media:  Burst pipe causes Gatwick Airport toilet trouble

The whole of the Isle of Sheppey was without water for 48 hours until this morning. National news? Don't make me laugh.
There's no vibrations, but wait.

The toilets at Gatwick are grim anyway.  After a week of Austrian ski station toilets, which are far nicer than the ones in any house I know, the khazis at baggage reclaim will be a harsh welcome back to Brexit Britain.

Limited riding opportunities, though I dare say the BHPVC crew could molish a circuit...

If you'd have gone into this place any Friday or Saturday night from about 1983 to mid 2000's you'd probably have found me propped against a wall, in dubious company & drinking Wobbly Bob.    A great pub, but you needed wellies in the gents.

Not shown are the rent-a-planters full of flowers obstructing particularly ugly bits of pavement.  Or the Shiny! New! Bollocksinfra! at Edgbaston, which has been re-purposed to fit more cars in for the duration of the Games.

Prince Andrew to appear as Bristol Wickerman!

The plans also suggest the “erection of a temporary 15-metre wicker statue of former-HRH Prince Andrew”.

Turbo Island is the unofficial name of a small triangle of land at a road junction, site of a house destroyed by WW2 bombing (it must have been a small and oddly shaped house). It's used as a hangout by the homeless and junkies, and because it's private land, they are effectively out of the reach of the police. They do sometimes require the assistance of the fire brigade though.
