Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Al, aren't there any estate agents round your way?

Loads, but...well......they're estate agents, aren't they!!!
if its any good, they just flog it on quick to a local developer. People like me don't have a snowball in hells chance.
The real problem is if its big enough for what we want to build, the owners get planning for a gazillion 3 storey shoeboxes, and flog it on to Barratt homes or someone, and when we have found something, the local council has tut-tutted our ideas and said that they need to put the maximum number of properties on any land they grant permission for.
Its a real ball ache. There must be a way, but I'm buggered if I can find it!!
Alan

There is a way - go to France and buy one there! When you've finished doing it up, I'll gladly come over and help you drink the contents of the cellar :o)

Would love to, ST, but I have a problem there.
I cannot continue to hold my licence with the FSA if I am resident abroad, so some of my business interests would have to fold. Interfering pratts that they are.
:-(((
Alan

Now that is a downer.

However, I am sure that you'll eventually be able to find the perfect property.

Anyway, how about you and I turn our combined brain power to something even more rewarding?

Bright Things (BGT): up 400% today. The question is, will the rise continue, and will the compnay have the funds to see them through to profit?

Dunno and Dunno.
Outside of my realm and I haven't had time to have a look.
No money to stick in if I did, either.
life is just so shit, somedays.
Alan

I fully appreciate the issue with lack of available funds.

Cheer up - things will get better.
