ex Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett (who sadly died last July) has had his house put up for sale for a cool ?300k.
Wonder if the National Trust will be purchasing like they did with Paul McCartneys old childhood home?

'I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket,a bell,lots of things to make it look good
I'd lend it to you if I could
But...they've auctioned it'
So that's where you get your username,John?

Yup...thats me .
I did consider killing myself (nominally) in conjunction with his death......

BTW..to be pedantic..the third line is :-
It's got a basket,a bell that rings,and things to make it look good,

John are you turning into an anorak?
I did know that line.I actually sang that song with a load of kids a few weeks back (partly as a Syd tribute) and we changed some of the words to fit the theme of the camp we were on ,so I got it muddled...
