Dear Estate Agent,
House hunting is hard. Being first time buyers is hard. Trawling through property websites and estate agents' lists for something suitable is boring and hard.
You are not helping.
No love,
Me

The reason for this letter? I was doing one of my regular hunts for property websites that aren't Rightmove and stumbled across some interesting things. There were the usual houses in terrible areas, and terrible houses in good areas. All fine and dandy, you might think.
Under the cut is what one agent is selling for £120,000 as a bungalow.

I KID YOU NOT. Click the picture for the full details.
SRSLY. IDEK.

They're just so common. A lot of very nice, decent middle-class houses are one-story, yet we don't use the term "bungalow" at all as far as I've seen. There must be more to this regional language mystery! (We don't have to track down the answer, I just get curious about these things. *g*)
