Castles in London?
An American couple was fond of England and of all things richly historic and aged. They decided to retire to London, where they hoped to buy a castle. Though that proved out of their price range, they did find a wonderful house that was quite ancient with a long and noble history. They found this house during their July vacation. They sold their house in Chicago and in November, they crossed "the pond" to retire. To their horror, they found that their new home was abysmally cold. They immediately set about trying to get a central heating system installed. Sadly, they were told by contractor after contractor that in a house that old, it simply wasn't feasible. "I was afraid it would come down to this," the husband finally said. "What, honey?" the wife asked. "We can't have archaic and heat it, too."
