Incredible shrinking East Dulwich, or the invasion of the midgets (room sizes)

[macroban]

When I was younger a double bedroom was roughly 16 feet by 12 feet.

These days, if I'm to believe the "residential" section of the Forum, a double bedroom is one where you can squeeze in a four foot bed.

What's going on?

[HonaloochieB]

Frankly, Mr Bigshot it does very nicely for certain people.

Myself, Dopey, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezey and Doc are perfectly at ease in our surrondings and find the space ample.

Happy is of course out on the pull as usual and so is very rarely at home.

Now sod off,

Grumpy

Quite right too Grumpy. Far too much space is wasted catering for girt-long dollops who should know better.

If you cant lie down in your reasonably spaced double bedroom, place the bottom of the bed by the window and stick your feet out into the balmy night. Would also be good for athletes foot sufferes and those with consumption.

Maybe the rooms should be marketed as sanatoria/ums?

[seanmlow]

Yes, an estate agents double is enough room to fit a double bed and open the door!
