Well, umbrellas can break your toe so you cant escape the cellar, and then, when your crumbling & dessicated corpse is found after 20 years, by Future Hitlur, he will so enraged that his German ancestor wuz murdered by a British umbrella that he wil declare war on the UK, and then we will all die becuz the US says it will never get into another war until the unemployment rate drops down to 8.5%.

£375,000 is really cheap for a place like that, even wid additional £170,000 for renovation. Ive been there actually -- the insides look better than the outside. The ghosts, I heard, are quite low-key athough frankly, I would just love to see a flock of ghostly nuns!

Wow that is amazing that a building that old is still standing... It looks like it would be beautiful when it's restored...

Saddle up: world's smallest airline seat unveiled Craig Platt The Sydney Morning Herald September 14, 2010
Saddle up ... Aviointeriors seat design offers just 23 inches of leg room. Airline economy class typically offers 31 inches or more.
If you find economy class seats too cramped for comfort, we have bad news: they may be about to get even smaller.
Italian airline seat and interiors manufacturer Aviointeriors has designed a saddle-like seat with just 23 inches of seat pitch (the space between seats) – significantly smaller than the average 32 inches in economy class. Even the highest-density airline seating normally offers 28 inches of seat pitch.
Aviointeriors says its design, named the 'SkyRider', is for an ultra-high density seat designed and engineered to offer the possibility to “further reduce ticket prices” through the creation of a new basic class – below economy.
The seats would allow more passengers to be crammed into aircraft. The design also allows for partial overlapping of seating between rows, allowing even more seats to fit in.
Aviointeriors says the passenger's seating position is “similar to that of a touring motor-scooter rider”.
It says the seats have been engineered and have reached the stage of final testing.
The seats were being unveiled at Aircraft Interiors Expo Americas 2010 in Long Beach, California this week.
The announcement comes as low-cost airlines continue to seek ways to increase profits by adding ancillary charges and increasing the number of passengers they can fly on aircraft.
In July, Ryanair raised the prospect of 'vertical seating' – a proposal that would see the back 10 rows of its short-haul aircraft converted to standing room space.
In Australia, Tiger Airways' managing director Crawford Rix has said he would consider all options to keep fares low, including vertical seating.

I think that goes a little too far with those seats.. I wonder if anyone has tried sitting in one for 2 hours, 4 hours or more?

If you let everyone lie down with a tv you can stack them up like wood logs.

They need to do a study to see which type of seating promotes the most dvt's (deep vein thrombosis), which can dislodge and turn into pulmonary embolisms.! Eik. I have seen patients with them after they return from travel..
not that any company would care.. to choose seating to reduce dvts
