'Ere's a thing
« on: September 01, 2008, 05:17:20 PM »
Family are having dinner/supper in front of the TV. Mrs S#2 summons me with a shout. They are watching Phil and Kisrty trying to flog someone a flat. "Does that look familiar?" asks the little woman "No" says I "Should it?". "Yes" she says "That is our old flat in Luton" and bugger me if she wasn't right. We sold it for £55k in 1989 and it is on the market for £125k now. Twenty years on, it looks a bit of a mess and the neighbourhood has gone downhill somewhat to judge from the shots of the exterior. Not a very big increase in twenty years considering we made £20k on it in the two years we lived there.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

 redface: A very fourth hand celeb I'm afraid.
We might make the X or Y list if these reality shows go on for another thirty years.
"Celebrity Come Zimmerframing" I 'spect.

And believe it or not it is still for sale now at £115k. Here is a link. It is the top two floors of the block at the front. The one with the balcony.
