    Excuse me could anybody share their experiences with mansions please? Do I buy the 12 bedroom in new york or the 9 bedroom with private cinema in Beverly hills? Has anyone got either?

    I'm rich enough to buy one you see and I don't want to make a mistake do i

    Well I made the mistake of getting one with a outdoor pool (school boy error) so if you're looking at one with a pool make sure it's indoor plus one other little tip, make sure your helipad is far enough away, the bloody noise can be a right pain when you're trying to relax in the massage/steam/orgy room

    I prefer the 12 bedroom one, I've tried a couple of these, although the last one went down to 8 bedrooms after I knocked 4 of them together to make an indoor swimming pool.

    don't fall into the trap of buying the 11 bedroom ones that are for sale!!
    I picked one up for a song last year, turns out the 9th - 11th bedrooms are just too far away to walk to and the vendor didn't include in the price the cost of buying a golf buggy to get to them!!
    nightmare!

    Beverley hills every time for weather.
    Mine were 12 bedrooms but made mistake that only 11 of them were ensuite ,when kids ran in to pick their room guess which one was left for me ?
    It were a fright trek on that corridor especially after a night on't Smiths.

    lol, thankfully it's not just me then!
    Though for anyone actually wanting to buy a mansion I'd suggest trying out Rightmove as a starting point.

    Speaking from experience, it's definitely of the utmost important to get yourself an excellent butler. I don't know how I'd cope without mine.

    I'm relaxed about either just as long as there's room to park my space shuttle.
