    Every Labour government ends in a Sterling crisis.

    What crisis :confused: I thought they were talking it down.
    Then again never miss an opportunity for a Tory cliche.

    Looks nice but a mil won't get you much of a house and the roads round there are carp - 45mins (++with caravans) to a decent stretch of dual carriageway and you are still 3 hours (+++with caravans) from civilisation.
    Nice coved beaches in South Hams, Devon.
    Salcombe is lovely.

    Well it seems that merv has gone to Sweden to figure out how their negative deposit rates work. as a result sterling is looking at $1.58ish.

    Weirdly I take great comfort from the fact I live so close to London and all that culture (read pubs) but seem to take advantage less and less often...it is just the fact that it is there if I wanted it that somehow reassures - and I guess being not far from lots of airports serving lots of destinations is also a plus - I guess once I have got the private jet that will be less of an issue.

    Exeter, is quite a good little airport, once you are there its a whizz up the M5 to Bristol, another nic little airport. :) westcountry still has some decent pubs. I confess I find some culture difficult (a local outdoor opera this year saw me sneak out after act one:o) but its not non-existant.
