If it were up to me, EVERY home in Melbourne would be a castle. And once everyone has castles… no one will. Mwa-ha-ha!
No, wait, sorry. Once everyone in Melbourne has a castle as a home, we’ll be known as the City of Ten Thousand Castles, and then I suppose I’ll go down in history and I’ll take my design skills to another city’s residents, to make castles for them as well. They won’t be as nice as the Melbourne ones, though. Thing is, people just aren’t as interested in property as I’d like them to be. Ideally, everyone would not only own a home but also want to work on it until it’s as good as it can be (which is a castle), but it’s an uphill battle.
Most people in my generation won’t even know what a conveyancing solicitor does for a living. I know them well, since the paperwork for a massive property with a moat and extensive grounds can be quite a lengthy thing indeed, and once everything is castles, everyone will be dealing with conveyancers all the time. In fact, the conveyancers in Melbourne will be known by some interesting name, like…the Camelot Conveyancers. The Castle-Veyancors. The newspapers will sort something out. They’ll be well-known and envied throughout the conveyancing world, because of the castles you see. Might even make their jobs a little more complicated, but hey… castles.
To be fair, I’ve only had the one client thus far, a really pasty guy and his pasty family. Never saw them during the day, but they were really nice and they seemed to have some great business connections with an array of Melbourne vendors statement professionals. That’s what gave me the idea to start all this. All that remains is for even more people to realise that castles are just way better in general and we’ll be golden.
