Thatchers didn't do too well, not much use for that profession any more.

  I disagree - I know a thatcher in Holland.

    I guess you’re well off if you survive the crash and are one of the few remaining. You have a pretty captive market.

      Willingly captive. Plenty of thatch around where I grew up, but seeing it removed and tiled (instead of rethatched) isn't that uncommon either.

        The maintenance and insurance costs of a thatched roof are ... through the roof.

          Nicely done :) But also very true.

  Plenty of use for them in my part of the world (south of England). According to the National Society of Master Thatchers, there are around 1000 thatching businesses operating in the UK today. https://www.nsmtltd.co.uk/brief-history/ https://www.nsmtltd.co.uk/brief-history/

  They definitely suffer from a grass ceiling.

    Well done.
• perl4ever 7y ago
  What? I've heard of at least one that's internationally famous...
