I have a significant winter condensation problem in my brick built garage, despite adding ventilation. Worst I've ever experienced, since we moved here 11 years ago. We get through brake discs every 3 to 4 years on our cars, due to corrosion, not wear. Usually the rears.

Canvy Island perchance, sounds idylic.

East Mersea, Mersea Island. 60 miles north of and a fair bit quieter than Canvey. It is pretty special, but miles from anywhere civilised. The sort of place 'you make your own fun'! :D

Mersea Island, looks idyllic for the young who don't need access to a hospital on a regular basis, have they built a bridge to it or is it tidal dependent still?

Then again you probably dont use words like Snicket but use Ginnel instead.

There's a good few words just used in Scotland, Ted and yes ginell is one but that one is also used in the North west of England...wait till you come across old Scots, it's a language of its own and takes some fathoming out 😊👍

The local Dundonian dialect is hard to follow for a Taffy!

In Beverley we use 'racket' for some if the town centre passageways.
