[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 806913, member: 196043"] The quality of building in the UK has alway shocked me, especially newer buildings. I've got friends that have moved into new flats and they just seem so flimsy. Plasterboard and all that rubbish. For 12 months I rented an ex-council flat and I could hear everything going on below me, including the radio and TV. Now in Finland my flat is built from solid concrete. I could jump up and down and scream and no one would hear or feel a thing. The windows are triple glazed and the walls are solid. In fact it took a couple of drill bits to get a satellite dish up.... ;) I helped my sister and her husband build their own house so I've seen how well built houses are in Finland too. No wooden floorboards or any of the creaky stuff they use in the UK, just solid concrete slabs. I sympathise with you Captain Jack! [/QUOTE]
