In about 1962 I was moved out of my ugly Victorian primary school into a brand spanking state-of-the-art new build on the outskirts of town where I spent several happy years. On a visit back to Aberdeen a couple of years ago I was saddened to see the new school had been demolished and a replacement was being built. Needless to say, the granite Victorian edifice is still in business, and now looks rather grand!
Our house is probably built on less foundation than Gordon's, 9" brick straight onto clay. When we extended, the building regs man insisted we put in 3 metres of concrete due to the proximity of some large horse chestnuts, can't help feeling that was a bit OTT.
