I remember the ostrich investment fad in the 90's. [..]

At first I thought you meant that literally, referring to the investors who lost tens of thousands in ostrich farms at around the same time.

They could have saved a lot of money and aggro by first simply asking themselves when was the last time they had seen an ostrich steak for sale in a supermarket!

One of those things that wonders me: are ostriches etc. birds that have forgotten how to fly, or are other birds, flying ostriches, or quite different, although related, beasties with convergent evolution.

Yes. Ostriches are birds that got too big to fly. Not vice-versa.

Anything else I can help you with today Mister Threaded?

Buying a converted mill in Bradford what the hell would you expect?

I still say London if you can afford; highly rentable places like Fulham will go down very well as long as you can ride the waves.

There is a clue there.

I went to an auction. The property I was looking at was marketed as "previously on sale for £189,950".

It didn't even make £160,000 at auction. I offered £155,000 before the auction.

The point is I could market it for £2mln. Doesn't mean jack until it comes to sale time though.
