    Can we really afford to miss this opportunity? That is of course, if you are lucky enough to have a spare 200k to invest for 1 year...


    It sounds fantastic to me. Personally I'd invest £400K and make twice as much money. Lets us know how you got on.

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..
  • Thanks experts; sound advice for a newbie poster, which I will certainly adhere to. I certainly won't be taking the advice of some and "doubling up", although I do sense a hint of sarcasm... ;)

    Cheers for quick responses, this place is pretty good!

    My hamster does.

    Well, I like to think it does anyway. I haven't seen him since about 1995...
