Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

There may be people at say sellafield making a packet but they are engineers and spanner monkeys rather than physicists. I have such a friend who works in thorp and makes 50K a year, but that still is only 200 quid a working day.
