It's a bog-standard council semi at that.

I caught a really dreaful old bunch of bull**** on Radio 4 last week. A
play about trying to achieve a zero emissions lifestyle. It was crap. It
also featured George Monbiot and a couple of other eco-mentalists
playing themselves.

Most of the scenarios were set up so that Monbiot et al could step in,
act smug, push their agenda and claim that XXX would save tonnes of
carbon per annum. However this is the sort of crap that Duhg believes.

Guess what single activity they condemned the most?

Retired people living alone at a distance from their family, hence using
up resources that could be used by an entire family. Monbio claimed that
old people living alone consume vastly more than their fair share of
resources. That sounds just like someone we know and barely tolerate.

In the play they forced the grandfather to go and live with his
children.
