Roger Mexico Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Anyone who wants the full dilligaf experience can look at the full set of pictures on the Crystals website. The trouble with these incredibly expensive properties that have been built to suit the tastes of a particular wealthy individual (presumably Barrowman rather than Mone) is that the odds that anyone who can afford it[1] will actually want something like exactly that are going to be low. So you're buying it to get rid a lot of what you've bought and start again. [1] According to Hello magazine the Estate is worth £120 million. So at £25 million it's obviously a snip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why reduce it to comedy by calling it the dilligaf experience ? are you upset that I have been in the property and you haven't ? You are better than that and you know it.

The Phantom Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 She's Baroness of Knightsbridge or something isn't she? And a member of the House of Lords (to which she rarely shows up to allegedly). To maintain these 'titles' would she not have to stay resident in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well quite. Though that Hello article suggests that she had been involved in redecoration, so she might be responsible for some of what you see in quite a lot of the pictures. But I think she was trying to her interior design services at the time, so that may also be involved. 42 minutes ago, The Phantom said: She's Baroness of Knightsbridge or something isn't she? And a member of the House of Lords (to which she rarely shows up to allegedly). To maintain these 'titles' would she not have to stay resident in the UK? Baroness Mone of Mayfair, so trying to be even posher sounding. She seems to turn up to about a quarter of the sitting days and not say much. There was a bit of a fuss about it last year, it's some way under average, but there's no obligation to turn up at all. She's nominally resident in London and you do indeed have to be resident in the UK, though how tightly they can enforce that I don't know. The truth is that Cameron gave out peerages like sweeties and Mone probably wasn't even the most unlikely recipient (at least some people have heard of her).

2bees Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 That house is absolutely stunning! Did you see the pictures in the bedroom? Nice. There are some very nice pictures dotted around the place. Wow. I'm happy just to have seen pictures of that. Lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the only house facade on the Isle of Man where the architect has understood basic rules of proportion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timetraveler Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 The outside looks okay. It's the interior design and furniture that lets it all down and screams out "chav". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horses for courses an all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
