No. Typical house sizes here in the UK mean that all

continental Europe, typical house sizes are larger, but most people live in
apartments, so goodness knows what they do!
Last weekend I made a concerted effort to free up space in the loft
office I have. You can now see the carpet again, but the cupboards are
well and truly full. Well at least now I'll have space under a desk for
the Sun 2/120 I hope to get this week :-)
If it's just floorspace you're worried about,
you can sit them on
shelves, furniture, each other... :-)
I should take a picture of my loft cupboards to show just how creative
you can get with stacking machines.
But I've seen
your house, so I
know your problem is worse than mine, and I envy you your tolerant
parents...
I have a bit of stuff at my parents, basically stuff that I have picked
up at boot sales while I have been there and then conveniently left.
The solution is for several people in the same area to
club together and
buy a warehouse, derelict factory or ex-secret wartime government
research base. Even an aircraft hangar might do, although the design
parameters are not optimal for computer storage. Any takers? (Central
or SW England for me, London for Tony)
and Cambridge for me.
