    I've got a good chance of being the 'winner', depending on how old agrinall and MTSTM are.


    What I would be really interested in would be to see the data for our generation vs. older generations. I'm sure that insecurity of tenure is much higher nowadays (although I have some special reasons for moving so much - and I promise I'm not on the run from the law!)

    Yep...you could be the "winner" - as I'm early 60s at present and I am at "1 more if I can and no more if I cant" position.

    Mind you - I am currently tossing up as to whether a "bit more money - but not enough to move back to Home Area" position might mean me buying a cheapie/cheapie/cheapie type place back in Home Area and then alternating between "permanent home type house" and "cheapo" type place. Sorta "half a loaf is better than none" type basis.
