hi tony.m. yes i agree about the three story houses being turned into flats and let to students, sometimes three to a flat. my son and daughter both live in converted flats which are classed as listed buildings. that way the landlord can get away with bad or little heating, draughty windows and slapdash decorating. do you remember the naffi building in notte street. it was partly knocked down and rebuilt. it is now student letts. every empty building is snapped up for students, many of whom are foreigners, while some local people are sleeping on the streets.
to your otherr question tony, yes i am now ok after 3 weeks in derriford, i was fitted with a pacemaker, which seems to be working ok. thank you very much for asking, and thank you also to all non site who sent me get well and best wishes. i tried to find the site dedicated to me but it has gone into limbo
