Property Guide

Saw six houses this week, none of them really suitable for renting. The first was six bedrooms, and was pretty nice, but since there are only three of us we can’t really afford it. The next was a scabby student house. The third was reasonable, but too far away for make it work. The fourth ...

The Other Stadium
