AvidFan Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Just saw this bargain £1.2 million apartment for sale in Birmingham: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-26394529.html?premiumA=true The last 2 pictures clearly show the bathroom has glass walls and is effectively in the lounge. I can't help but think this is impracticle if you've dinner guests or you're dating someone for the first time and brought him/her home? Anyone any thoughts on whether glass toilets in the lounge are a good idea, or whether they are worth the £1 million price premium? I'm working on a joke that adapts the phrase "People in glass houses..." but I'm struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pull, you go back to the flat, bird disappears to the bog, flick the switch - might be the only look you'll get. Better safe than sorry eh?

Can't be glass.. must be sheets of pure CVD diamond If you look carefully at picture 4, you also get a gimp in a latex suit at the bottom of the stairs, it is a 'special interest' flat only for those with discreet and discerning tastes.

Pindar Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Great, host a dinner party, guest goes for a quick leak and there's a power cut. Opacity turns to transparency. At least if it was at night you'd be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darwin Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I've never understood the appeal of spiral staircases. I'd want a bit more than a rinky-dinky little staircase in a space of 3300 sq ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness me I don't think anyone would pay that for a house in Edgbaston let alone there! I would love to know who the builder/sellers are, they should be respected for their sheer audacity.

happy_renting Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Seems a good idea to me. Everyone should have a bidet handy to cool the Chateau Lafite '82. is not for people of delicate sensibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on a joke that adapts the phrase "People in glass houses..." but I'm struggling. I would agree that it is deeply unattractive and overpriced. However if you look at the photos and the brochure, there are four en-suite bedrooms, one of which, the master bedroom, has a glass walled bathroom. The bathroom is not in the lounge. Four bedrooms would normally mean a house for a wealthy large family - but of course they would buy a large semi in Edgbaston; green and leafy but almost walkable to the city centre. The only obvious use I can see for this is an upmarket brothel. City centre location, nice en-suites, good reception area............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hovis Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 The only obvious use I can see for this is an upmarket brothel. City centre location, nice en-suites, good reception area............. Maybe the gimp is an encoded symbol for what this is used for; like the minature sun in British spies' passport photgraphs. Now you've said it I think you may be right. What's the gross / net yield on a brothel then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sillybear2 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Having purchased that apartment I guess random strangers and passersby would like to see what a giant dick looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piece of paper Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Is that a bidet next to the WC ? The switch to opaque may be linked to a motion detector. Not good feng shui with the bog like that and also a spiral staircase does very bad things with the chi. Only the Australians or Japanese could imagine such a device. p-o-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely this was put on the market with footballers in mind, who else would have the combination of so much money and such poor taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spaniard Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm working on a joke that adapts the phrase "People in glass houses..." but I'm struggling. I once saw a stand-up comic who had a nice patter in shortened proverbs or maxims. One of his examples which I remember is, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't." BTW, I think there is a typo in the advert, which should refer to the supplier Silent Gliss (not Glass): http://www.silentgliss.co.uk/go/Home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonkers Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 1.2 million and no seperate kitchen. That bathroom leaves me speechless. I was in a trendy NY hotel with a glass walled bathroom, they had put curtains up next to the toilet. Unpleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art's glass toilet tests courage I guess it's to condition people in case they have to serve time for mortgage fraud, I also see there's no soap holder in the shower.
