[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 239256, member: 25"]There is a lot of stuff in Britain because we have not had a war fought on the land here for centuries, and at that time it was relatively inefficient. There was a lot of bombing in WWII but it mostly hit poor homes and poor people,, because they lived nearest the targets in major cities, and in general did not have a lot of good stuff to be destroyed. Occupation and invasion by Germans, British, Americans and Russians did a far more thorough job at ground level over much of Europe. My house is the best part of 100 years old so I think of it as modern, as houses go.
