dry and warm. In the 1970s people started putting carpet in and central heating and the houses were not designed for this, so they started decomposing. Do not even get me started on render or pebbledash applied to facades.

Sorry it's just... my house looks like this right now because of 70s and 80s bad home "improvements". We also found a Spanish passport which expired in the 1950s under the carpet.https://twitter.com/o_guest/status/959497964656955393 …

Yep. Remind me why we live in this shithole again? Why don't we all go and set up a research institute somewhere nice. I'm thinking the Canary Islands.

My actual secret (ssshhh...) plan is to stage a cog/neuro takeover of the Champalimaud institute in Lisbon. Great weather, great food, by the sea - perfect.

I support any cog/neuro locations that are less grey than the UK!
