On the contrary I think the UK has improved immeasurably since Scamp left it.
As for me "taking the plug out of the jug" I think that is unlikely. I last had a drink on Easter Sunday 1990.

London property market has been dead for the last 18+ months. Largely due to uncertainly over Brexit and forthcoming changes in BTL regulations.
There's some owner occupiers of good indigenous stock getting their country back, but they tend to put in lowball offers and are looking for distress sales.
