The most popular dating site of this month: http://bit.ly/33KziB6. Homebuyers sue the owners of a £1m barn conversion after they failed to tell them about nearby hotel. A couple are being sued for £300,000 after they failed to tell the buyers of their £1million home about plans for an American-style drive-thru and 61-room motel 'next-door.'
