This is going to be hard to solve. I have an issue with this. If you are going to keep a thatched cottage as it is in the old-fashioned way, that is fine. However, there are difficulties involved in modernising houses and then putting thatched roofs on them. If we are honest, there are fire dangers involved. I do not know how we can get around or manage that but it is one of the things we are going to come up against.
