What's Plovdiv? The only hits that came up, not in Bulgaria, were from this posting. Oh hang-on finally got one for the Haringey Bulgarian Restaurant and thought I'd leave this posting for anyone else who didn't know.

So what accommodation space does a restaurant have?

Thanks John, I just answered my own questions, plus a heap of others by actually watching the show = ; - ) .... blinking broadband out in the middle of Nowhere Much in Dorset on the blink earlier. Missing Harringay loads of course.

It was the two potential flats above the derelict shop next to Plovdiv that they were renovating. I'd not have stopped there and done the shop too myself. Let's hope the owner is inspired and that becomes a working business again. Dead space at the moment.

Anyway - what an incredible programme. Hope everyone's insprired to get out there taking pics of all the empty properties around the area and sending them in. I'm going to check out what I can do here if anything. We do have homeless folks around here and I spend some time chatting with some of the Big Issue sellers locally.

Also should help with the problem of some the older properties having bits fall off them if they are inhabited again. Several birds with one stone - people housed, derelict buildings made usable and beautiful again, plus a bit of the old health and safety. Everyone's a winner.
