INTVEE lives with her husband and two children. INTVER describes the street as having "Quite pleasant gardens. Lawnmowers clanking round" and has been told that the houses were built by the Cockburn Association and factored by Gumleys. The houses are still mostly rented but are to be sold when they become vacant. They are not advertised but are in high demand. INTVEE likes her house but is not so positive about the district. She thinks the area is good for children, there is a garden. Pilton Park is not too far away but her children have no interest in it as it is so dull and featureless. She feels out of place, most other residents are in their fifties and there is great animosity between tenants and owner-occupiers which she puts down to resentment by old tenants of the newer intruders. Her husband thinks the hostility is in the other direction. He also thinks having the right address is Edinburgh used to be terribly important but you can no longer pin someone down socially by knowing their address. She is on bad terms with one of her neighbours who forbid access to her son's friends to the shared back garden. There are eight children in a street of 32 houses. INTVEE thinks her parents generation are intolerant, narrow, grasping and much harder to both children and old people than her generation of her grandparents generation. She wonders if this generation in between were too embittered by the General Strike and the Depression. She thinks men under forty play more of a role in family life than older men did, and suggests this might be because of more stability brought about by salaries and benefits as opposed to daily wages. INTVER thinks her relationship with her children is excellent "The toddler was not nagged nor apologised for, nor was she dominated by him" but that her individuality does not extend to the visual as her furnishings were "ordinary and dull - red moquette suite, china birds on the wall - nothing of interest for the eye in her home".
