Manual for a post-war British bungalow
I'm on holidays in Wales, at my in-laws' cottage, in a little coastal town where my wife and her family seem to make up a substantial chunk of the local population. One set of cousins have a 1950s prefab bungalow just down the hill, built by Woolaways of Taunton. This weekend, they unearthed the manual that Woolaways provided to all the new bungalow owners -- and it's a masterpiece of oddly stilted technical writing, effusive sell-copy, and dire warnings about the depredations of damp. I took photos of the booklet and stuck 'em in my Flickr stream so everyone could enjoy 'em. The Care of Your New Bungalow
