Re: Buying a Leasehold Flat - Survey? Or Not?

I hear what you're saying, Englishmum, about a 'rogue seller who then emigrates' - no, I'm not sure either how you'd get 'redress'.

As to checking 'whats underneath' floor coverings, in my...

Re: Holidaying in Malta?

Buying a Leasehold Flat - Survey? Or Not?

Hi Simon

I noticed the magic words retired to Sweden; what part of the country are you in? I'm between Stockholm and Uppsala by the way.

Re: New Euro Deal Enough??

The 'headline' grabbing details are known (investors in Greece will lose out etc) but other details are still to be worked out.

I think you'll always feel 'cut off' if you don't learn the native language. I lived in Spain for...

Re: Moving to Stockholm - a few questions

Well - you never know... only when all the matches have been played will we find out. Think its unlikely (myself) that there'll be any other winner than New Zealand.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011 Thread

You never know - I reckon New Zealand haven't had much of a taste for 'knock-out' rugby lately.

A pinch of salt required here, I think.

After all, what was the 'sample size' for the survey, which decided Britain is such a crap place? I mean, out of all the 60 odd million people living there,...
