I get the message!
I don't post these things because I like them but because I want viewers to consider area and lifestyle possibilities. I thought some might like the idea of a support network there. One thing is pretty certain; Our children wont be able to take care of us, if it ever crosses their minds.

I am sure there are those who it fits to a 'T'. Just giving my feedback.
Yes. I understood that perfectly. It is exactly as it was with my Vancouver condo. Just prefer not to be in a building with maintenance/strata fees.

And disadvantages. Better check the Energy Performance Certificate posted for these homes and read the following article before considering some of these properties, especially the one in Woodend.

Watch out because I just got up and my blood sugar is at 184.
Anyway on that article, John, it follows what every form of the media follows and that is the gloom and doom. Why do we read this stuff? Does anyone write any cheerful news? Some times I think the beverage companies have something to do with the 'gloom news'. Maybe it is a way to keep the masses down.
I know we have mentioned on here about the Brits always downing their country and situation while we few on here are saying you don't know how good you have it.
Just sayin'

But I guess people haven’t suffered enough or not enough of them are suffering. What will the tipping point be - 30% unemployment in some key countries?
If the world’s financial gurus don’t get it right over the next few years, we may well see a serious deterioration in the global economy, the markets and employment.

I think this should be the national motto of England.
John, did you feel this bad about things when you lived in Canada or have you become more negative, the way dunrovin says he has, on returning to the UK? I'm seriously thinking about doing without a TV when I get back. I'm generally a happy person and I don't want to find myself walking around like a little black cloud.
btw - I don't think changing the economy is up to financial gurus. It's up to all of us. I'm doing my part by expanding my little business. If we're to get out of our current mess, we need more sprirt and less complaining IMO.

Re: Location, location, location
I don't know, I get more confused every day. The facts are, 50% of Americans now only own 1% of America’s wealth and the top 1% own 30% of it? What happened to the middle class? This is the most serious erosion of personal wealth in history and everyone carries on like nothing’s happened.

The UK is just like the US where the government (on either side of the fence) is at the beck and call of special interests, to get elected and then throughout their term. The more so now as the leaders of the Tory Party are from the very elite group they stand to represent, just like Bush stood for oil.
I think the meltdown in the global economy will take a lot less than a few years to come around if it is not attended to pronto, particularly as it relates to Greece, but there are too many vested interests for change to come easily in EU circles. There are huge adjustments necessary to bring some sort of equilibrium here, particularly between the US and China. Many are saying that a steady improvement in the global economy is the ONLY thing that will lift the UK from out of its hole if only on the rising tide lifts all boats basis. World Bank 2011-2025 forecasts for average annual global growth seem to show all of the growth (5%), the driver of global growth, in the emerging BRICs plus Indonesia and South Korea and precious little (2%) in the Western economies.
This all kind of makes a joke out of Location Location Location. Head for the hills!

Correct me if I'm wrong John, but I sense that you are not being negative about the UK but want to put a foot on that first rung on the UK property ladder and feel you have to pay too much for it. You fail to see how the current price levels are justified in the circumstances as outlined in certain media and kind of resent the fact they are not coming down to your pricing requirement which should be around 3/4 times salary?? .
To add insult to injury there are some corporate fat-cats who are making a killing in the UK who are partly to blame for the current dilemma as they are contributing to the support of these artificially high property prices, though this is mostly in London.

Re: Location, location, location
Don't anyone tell anybody about us being off track. It has been so slow on 50/60's these last few days so who cares?
Sally you echo my view re: no TV in the UK when I return.
For the last two hours I have been on YouTube and the one thing I found just made me feel like I died and went to heaven. It is a clip of scenery and chuffers(trains) of the East Lancashire Railway. Oh man does it bring back memories but I think these films were made recently but the scenery and environment is the greatest. I want to be on the next stage out of Dodge.
Take a look see and see if they have the same effect on you. I had never heard of East Lancs Railway until a few minutes ago. Its really nice that Englishmen have access to the latest video equipment.

As I have said before, there are a number of builders today who are building such garbage that it will be lucky to last the mortgage term. That is one of the reasons why in general it makes more sense to look for period houses as they tend to be much better built and hold their value better.
