Do what my dad did, rent a small place inland for peanuts and let out the palace to holiday makers for a grand+ a week.
Some people are a bit thick, makes you wonder how they amassed a million in the first place.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

When there's blood in the streets there's profit to be made. Worth buying in perhaps?...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

A bit more than £4.50, but I can't fault your logic. Hmm 1984? This woman is 62 so they might have bought in the 1970s when property was even cheaper.Originally posted by Sockpuppet View Post
A mate bought a roomy end terrace cottage in 1976 for 5K. It wasn't easy to get mortgages on older properties in those days, hence the low price, and his parents lent him the money.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

My milkman bought a whole row of cottages at auction for a few hundred quid. Transaction done, he went off to count how many there were...Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostMy dad falls into that category, though he had the sense to buy several properties at £4.50.
... and had to ask the tenants for their rent books because he didn't know how much they were paying...
... to think my parents threatened me with the prospect of being only a milkman after a poor school report.
Sigh.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
