So you're getting sentimental for the good old days when you weren't so sentimental?

I went to an all boys school. I would be somewhat taken aback if one them contacted me and said he had had a crush on me.

Well, you never know. But it wasn't EXACTLY what I said in the email either....

I'm the same age as you and very well remember the elementary school I attended through the early '70s with the boiler pipes running all through the rooms. I'm sure the pipes were wrapped with asbestos which we used to pick at when bored. Remember though, we also had lead paint to deal with as well.
As for the new contact with someone from that far back, you never know. Personally, I would think it was weird, but it all depends on how close you were.

It'll be so much easier.
Tomorrow, we're orf to look over the new house, measure up rooms [again] and work out what will go where. Staying overnight then back on Sunday.
On Monday I'll be driving to the other side of London, basically a full circuit of the M25.
Then comes Thursday night. What joy! What pleasure! We'll leave home around 3, driving overnight we hope to be back in Buda for lunch. 
Once we're in Hungary I know we have to drive up down and around for two weeks; seeing family and friends, and checking up on the house on the lake.
Tomorrow morning I'll reset the trip on the car and then see how far I drive over three weeks. I think it'll be over 3,000 miles, maybe even breaking 4,000!

No, a full circuit would get you back where you started.
Except the M25 drives most people completely round the bend anyway, so...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Well, it's half way there, and half way back. So two halves make a whole!

Not really. Just we're buying a little bolt hole off in the Dagobah system. Should things go completely wahoonie shaped, we'll have a roof over our head at no cost; apart from buying the place to start with.

The estate agent's plans are not too accurate, just an indication, and we want to work out what we take up there and what will go back to Hungary.

In the USA, we've a class of people called Trump Voters Trailer Trash[^]. Now, if you deconvolute from the lifestyle how much less trouble you have when changing parking spaces dwellings, maybe it's not so bad.
Perhaps them folk be onto sum'ptin?

I have heard of these people, but I assumed you had to be in a relationship with one or more blood relative to join.

Hey – you’re in Europe. At this stage of the game, isn’t everyone more or less related?*

IIRC, there have not been enough people born in the history of mankind for anyone to not be inbred. Though in most cases this probably crossing over at 8-10 generations back and not one or two as is the case in Arkansas.

They do say that every European is related in some way to Charlemagne. I certainly have his eyes. Wonder if anyone's noticed they're missing?

I'm trying not to comment on US politics at the moment and I especially will not denigrate* Trump supporters for their political allegiances.
* For any Trump supporters, "denigrate" means to "put down"
