"From what I hear." It's probably not actually a thing. Apologies for not realising yr location; as Ms O now lives over here I kinda assumed you did too. The explosion in property values can be traced back to Thatcher. So can the failure to even try to invest in industry. It makes me fucking wild.

I've seen two buy-to-let booms and busts in my time. Running an economy on property rather than production is just stupid. And cruel, as Ms Odent points out, to the generations that come after us.

I will admit to owning a good electric grinder, and revelling in its product. But one travels from time to time, and this artifact looks DISTINCTLY interesting.
