Go have a look at this if you ever need reminding of how lucky you are.:eek:

I was back in Ireland for two weeks at Christmas and the economy is not doing too well. I bumped into some Iraqis in the airport at Abu Dhabi though and thinking about the problems they face put ours into perspective! Or we could be in Libya!

Absolutely agree. I did just mean value getting back to original purchase price so wrong terminology.
