We hadn't been in Australia very long and my mother was astonished – in the UK very few houses are built of materials that allow them to be transported whole, so she'd never seen such a thing and kept talking about it for weeks afterwards!

Mind you, you have to be careful. A friend of mine in NZ once saw a man decapitated by a house that was turning a corner. What did he do? Phoned the TV station and claimed a spotter's fee from the newsroom!
