Program on TV about propery tycoons.

I looked in the paper earlier and there's some "junk" TV on CH4 or 5 about novices trying their hand at being property tycoons.

    Don't worry, property always doubles in value every year. That's what that Goldsmith woman was saying on "would you buy a house with a stranger" a while back.

    NOPE! But so far it does prove that Property Development is not for everyone, especially buying from Auction. Lets see what the next half an hour show!!!

    Stockmarket delivered approx 1% today (tax free), went shopping for new kitchen, after lunch in a nice brasserie. Ho hum, no hassle.

    Its so last year darlings!
    Survivor of debt, redundancy, endowment scams, share crashes, sky-high inflation, lousy financial advice, and multiple house price booms. Comfortably retired after learning to back my own judgement.
    This is not advice - hopefully it's common sense..
