Derelict 'War sites' were around and money was spent on educating 'architects' they had a field day in housing the 'many' in small areas cheaply with a feeling of 'The New'....

I'd like a houseboat  

I like the look of that houseboat but it would need a lot of upkeep I fear 

Yes And they ain't cheap  

I'll buy one this weekend  

I was just gonna post an inflammatory post and decided against it   I deleted 

Just take the 600k and run ,

Just as well...

Sod the lease, who is living down the corridors would be my question.....

See, I'm not perfick  

My aunt cried the day they moved her out of her prefab....she had to move into a tower block just off of the Old Kent Road.  She was never happy after that.

It does seem crazy that this could happen. Imagine a family who can't afford the lease extension and lose their home.

I'd buy it and knock it down.  What a heap of sh!t.

We lived in a prefab when I was a kid .....

Woah! Flowers! 

They were away with the fairies on FIAB  , if I remember rightly  

Yes

They were still inhabited around the back of Brockley well into the 70's Baz.  Loads of residents refused to be moved out  and fought tooth and nail with the council.

I'm desperately trying to work in the fact you lived in a prefab and we have a forum member called Sprout.

I'm weighing up which is uglier...his shirt or the wallpaper(s)

PMSL!!   I used to go to a prefab school too 

He shoots, he scores!

I know, they might have had their heads in the clouds, but the residents soon realised terra firma was what they were used to and made them feel 'At Home'

We move out just after my sister was born in the mid 50s , but I think they weren't pulled down for a decade or so ...

   I didn't think of that when I called myself that.....it had more to do with Christmas   

De Beauvoir is where my daughter in law lives 

I must tell her to sell her flat immediately!

.

That health service ad....saying optimum temp is 18 degrees.....what would they say to my 7 degrees then?  

I think the late 50's was when the majority left, Baz...and that's when all the blocks of flats started to appear.  Although they weren't all skyscrapers to begin with.

I only just got it! ........

Whatever they'd say it'd be through chattering teeth I should think! 

Right then chumettes,

I have to toddle off to bed.

Thanks for the company, enjoy the rest of your evening and I will catch you all tomorrow.

Night.

We even had to go on a school trip at one point to the swimming baths at another school cos ours was out of action. (I nearly drowned too)   I couldn't swim at the time and lost my footing in the pool and no one came to my aid  

Now that's more like it
