    There are districts in Liverpool where the land for housing was purchased from Quaker families who added covenants on the land that the sale of alcohol was prohibited - that means that there are areas with no pubs at all! In other areas, from Victorian times there was literally a pub on every street corner (though many have now closed). I have lived in both types of area, and I know which I prefer!

    Yes the garden cities were the same, at least Letchworth near where I live was.

      Same with Bourneville in Birmingham, I think they finally got their first off licence a year or so ago. They can't have chip shops either, which is nice as it keeps the air smelling of chocolate.

        Thanks. In other news, there's a restrictive covenant on the house that may mean it falls through, embugeraments aplenty this week.

        Oh no. Would you like me to find some other suitable properties for you? Send me your requirements to the usual email address and I'll have a look round for you.

          Thanks, I think we may have to rethink hows and whats if the house does fall through with Mrs Wife now probably also having to find new work. Pachyderms of all descriptions!

            I have an interview tomorrow [posts passim] and Mrs Wife has just called. It looks very likely she'll be out of a job by the summer. No pressure on me then.
