Living In An Old Railway Carriage

[Ric.ror]

My friend has an idea to buy a plot of land - buy an old carriage and live in it.
Where should he start?


TIA

[Baldric]

A plot of land would be a good place to start imo.

[Ric.ror]

///Where should he start?///

Not annoyed at all Ric. just an iffy attempt at humour
;o)

[ummmm]

Gosh Baldric, why so tetchy?

[Baldric]

Did you see the post @ 12:58 ummm? I could in fairness ask you the same question as you've been tetchy for weeks now, you never used to be.

[ummmm]

I was joking, grumpy pants :-)

[Baldric]

Aw bless, so was I ;o)

Baldric - just noticed your avatar - how lovely would a train carriage be overlooking that view?
