INTVEEs had been living with the husband's mother in her corporation house but owing to illness had split up, with the wife returning to her family. They have two young children. They wanted Milton Road or Meadowfield but have been told they are full up. They want a four in a block flat but would refuse a multi-storey one. They think Muirhouse looks a rough area. She wants an adequate supply of power plugs as she hopes to go all electric and be able to have the latest labour-saving devices. They have all they need in the way of furnishing ready to move in. They've been acquiring it over the last 3 years. Male INTVEE is critical of the housing department, he'd told one of them off for being rude when he went to enquire why another couple with less children and not split up had been re-housed before them.
