looks

Human physical appearance is the outward phenotype or look of human beings.

There are infinite variations in human phenotypes, though society reduces the variability to distinct categories. The physical appearance of humans, in particular those attributes which regarded as important for physical attractiveness, are believed by anthropologists to affect the development of personality significantly and social relations. Humans are acutely sensitive to their physical appearance. Some differences in human appearance are genetic, others are the result of age, lifestyle or disease, and many are the result of personal adornment.
Some people have linked some differences with ethnicity, such as skeletal shape, prognathism or elongated stride. Different cultures place different degrees of emphasis on physical appearance and its importance to social status and other phenomena.

    Soil pipe

    Saw this today and thought it an unusual route for a soil pipe. Is this common practice? I'm assuming that they feed loft conversions. Hopefully the picture's clear enough! I'm just curious but thought it may spark some discussion! Can you see the pictures above? They're coming up as attachment...
