I took the photo thinking it could be spiderman's pad with all the aerials and the giant spider-web on the wall Had no idea they were radio aerials - I will take some more pics next time I go past there on my bike!
That house is actually on the outside of the village (not the Villa I meant which is old and was in the first set of picks, with loads of roses on the wall).
Do you have a different user-name for radio or are you both still "Dave Mac" and "Gremlin"? Is it CB-type radio?
