The Micro Compact Home

The Micro Compact Home, or m-ch, is an effort to create a tiny space that is still liveable in. It would fit in a large parking bay, future versions will come with solar panels and a wind turbine to make it energy independent. I’d need to get rid of a lot of my possessions before I could live in one, and I don’t yet know where I’d want to put it.

Each cube costs $96,000, including delivery anywhere in Europe. So if I start saving now I might know where I want to put it by the time I can afford it.

Parents who give alcohol to children aged under 15 should be prosecuted, a charity has said.

Surely the best place for a youngster to learn to drink responsibly is at home. This sort of thing is likely to cause more problems than it solves.
