        Good point, and it's very reasonably priced: http://static.roh.org.uk/visit/pdfs/...enu-Autumn.pdf

              yes, the Benes family is experiencing hard times

              and being dedicated followers of fashion we implemented our own austerity measures

              Milan in, "being in" mode.

                Sheesh tell me about it. Fortunately I have a US client who have benefitted from the $:£ rate after Brexit. I had been hunkering down preparing for the worst: retirement. In my 40s. The kids will have to fend for themselves soon.

                  Couldn't have happen to a nicer bunch.

                  In fact the actual cost of living (minus the cost of housing) is actually cheaper than places like Manchester. Add in the fact that a lot of places to visit are free then you can live there and entertain yourself far cheaper than having to travel there and do the same.

                      They already have in USD and EUR terms, which is what counts for the international community. Shame, eh?
