Chuks,
that nearly brought a tear to my eye. I even felt homesick, for a fleeting moment!
Perhaps you could decorate your new room with some pictures attached to the wall with those special 'screwnails.' I tried to find some last time I was in the UK, but the guy in the hardware store just looked blank when I described them to him. I said I had a multipurpose hammer, so could accept flat blade or phillips headed screwnails, but still no joy.
