Selling Syd

There was a feature on the local news in the East last night showing potential buyers looking to buy Syd Barrett's house. We say "potential buyers", but we suspect they might have been closer to fans and pokeabouts. One chap at least admitted he was a fan, and did seem quite serious about purchasing the house, but offered a bemusing explanation about what he intended to do - he suggested he'd try and keep Syd's colour schemes and so on, but improve the house; a process he likened, rather sweetly, to producing a record.
