I'm partway through translating this into English. Some words are easier than others.. "My laptop is playing up" was quite easy.

It's a quote from an old film called Repoman.

Are you of the male or female persuasion? If you want to remain gender-free, like LIR's Resident Parent, that's OK too :j

Oops, sorry, i'm female, I quite forgot to say :rotfl:

Round my way, Harpenden, they certainly are 60-80% above the low point of early 2009. Bigger houses seem to have risen more than smaller ones.

As for my flats in London - they certainly are close to double their low price point five years ago!

:T:T:T:T

Not here they aren't. Different price brackets have behaved differently, but the ones I am most interested in have dipped.


The nearest comparable to my house ( geographically) has been on market all this time, at the same price.

I stay away from suggestions when I've no idea what I'm talking about. Never known/met a coeliac, no idea what it's all about .... and I have limited experience of desserts and no experience of posher desserts that are most likely to be the appropriate sort

I'd ask the "funny people" what they suggest..... if they're coeliac/vegetarian, they'd have a suggestion that's their favourite.

Coeliac means can't eat gluten, and gets very ill indeed if she does. Even a trace of it makes her feel terrible. It's an auto-immune disease, and the presence of gluten in the gut makes the body attack itself.

Oats are off-limits for some coeliacs - sister #1 had to cut them out for a year or two after she was diagnosed, and then found when re-introducing them that they were OK (if carefully milled so no contamination, as Maggie said).

Thanks for the ideas, peeps, will consult with sisters and see what they think.
