Hi, I'm new here so please be gentle. I've read a few posts on this forum and it seems that house prices only ever go UP UP UP. This is fantastic news. Does this mean that if I can borrow enough money and buy a big house that one day Rodders I will be a millionaire? Sensible answers only please.

    So I'm thinking they should start with IP address blocking.....

    Do you think they can do that?

    Does anyone know if it is it possible to block internet access from north of Hadrian's wall? That would be good for starters.

    Nobody wears socks (or tweed skirts) where I live; I dwell in warmer climes. Move down sarf is my advice.

    Hell, we don't wear anything up here. Just run around naked with blue paint. Sort of "Lord of the flies" meets "Braveheart".

    Provided you live long enough and can meet the repayments the answer is yes.
