But everywhere's catching up. If my kids' futures weren't sorted, I'd be worried sick about how they were going to get on the property ladder one day, and basically just survive. I'm told that you can still buy small terraced places in the "not so nice" areas of London, that, once done up'll probably bring in a good return, but then as I say, other areas are getting more expensive now as well. Still think it's a good idea to buy in London though. I've known people to make massive profits which's enabled them to move abroad into property which'd be unthinkable here.

buying is a lot better than renting... way to much rent the landlords get. if you can then properties are the best thing to get into here. sh1t loads to make on this market.

[Ice.Maiden]

That's true, and for the price of renting a place down there, you could use as a mortgage up here - but then, the wages are a lot higher in comparison. Bit of a dilemma for folk really, I suppose.
Not to worry - I want to live in a castle in the Highlands with Fish!!!! Lovely thought!!!

What I miss is the brown butteries we had for breakfast can't get them at all here only thing that is nearest are crossoints but I know I can send for them but took lots back and froze them . Simmers butter and abernethy biscuits I can get ,plain bead I can get but not the same as when my mother used to send me to bakers for one and I would have the sides half stripped off and eaten as it was still hot. And haggis a tip always boil it in foil in case of it bursting.I have been left Scotland 40 years and still have my burns night parties for my friends and they are all English and they love it.
