I was talking to a colleague of mine the other day. We were talking about my house and he said when you get visitors for the first time (of the vanilla nature) do you take them for a tour around your house? Odd I thought but he said it's the norm when he grew up in 1970s East London. So it got me thinking how many others around the nation see it as ettiqute to give friends a tour of your house on a first visit?

i have done with my current place but it is quite a big house so if staying over they know what's where.
I've just bought another place that I'll be completely renovating so will likely show what I've changed than anything else |

Nope never do the tour these days. Did in the early days just after moving with long standing friends and family. Maybe if major refurbishment was done .... |

I was kindly shown around the other day on a first visit to a house of a friend. So it is obviously a done thing to some. Not that I have a problem with that, I have a genuine interest in house room configuration and layout. |

I've never felt the urge to show people around my house. When I was a kid I don't recall being shown around houses, but did many a garden tour.
It would be very boring showing people around my house, most rooms are empty or full of crap. |
