    Notes on a London market: acquaintance looked a tenanted flat this week, in extreme SE London. One bed, let to foreign family of six, who want to stay. Asking for Offers over 235k. Last bid she heard was 317k.


    At 260 or so she wash going to go for it.


    How extreme? - Bromley (I know it is Kent) or Peckham :eek:

    I think. Great story!

    It is indeed a great story. The one I had in mind is this one
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_with_the_Twisted_Lip

    It seems that Mr. St. Clair has been leading a double life, one of respectability, and the other as a beggar. In his youth, he had been an actor before becoming a newspaper reporter. In order to research an article, he had disguised himself as a beggar for a short time, during which he earned a very large amount of money. Later in his life, he returned to the street to beg for several days in order to pay a large debt. Given a choice between his newspaper salary and his high beggar earnings, he eventually became a professional beggar. His takings were large enough that he was able to establish himself as a country gentleman, marry well, and begin a respectable family. His wife never knew what he did for a living, and Holmes agrees to preserve Mr. St. Clair's secret as long as no more is heard of Hugh Boone.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I picked up my free copy of the Standard yesterday and couldn't believe the prices. There was a nice house to rent.... over £11k per month. Just crazy.
