As flyers we have seen there is so much more space in the country to start new towns.

I still see many bedrooms without space for wardrobes, garages that you can't fit a family sized car into and upper floors with ridiculous sloping ceilings that restrict the useful space. And don't get me onto showers that reasonable sized adults struggle to use comfortably and builtin wardrobes that wouldn't hold the clothing of a penniless student. That's why storage units are a boom business. Is a trip to "the unit" to get something you need an essential journey?
