Except that Slough's a tuliphole and that place in Costa Rica isn't.

Who says there are no tulipholes in Costa Rica ?

I kept my horse here

That would explain why it's got no upstairs.

It’ll do me; just have to recover the warchest after the disaster known to mankind as ‘2009’.

Gordon Bennett! You were on the bench in 2009?

So for 60k you can buy a tin shack ?? Its a tulip hole!

What do you want man? 30 degrees every day, sunshine every day, beach and yacht club down the road, world’s best looking women around the place AND a bloody Barratt mock Georgian detached house with electric garage doors and an Axminster? Sod all that ‘luxury’ and stuff, just give me good weather, a little vineyard and an easy life.

That house isn’t a tin shed at all; it’s a simple but attractive brick bungalow in one of the world’s better places.

It's like advertising a house in Slough with pics of Big Ben and St Paul's ..

So maybe the volcano is actually much closer?

Surely the strong winds would blow the volcano out - sorted!

Volcanoes are good places; very mineral rich soils, always warm, ideal for growing your own veg and even planting some vines if you’re on hillside. OK, occasionally they go boom whoosh whiz bang and chuck magma at you but volcano forecasting’s pretty good these days. As for hurricanes, as long as you have a solidly built house you should be OK.

Ok, so have you got $1000 a month for the rest of your life? If so, sounds lovely.

Relax, that property has only got windows overlooking the beach with beautiful women there... if you see them running away then also leg it!

I think that's one of those occasions where I'd follow the locals.
