	thanks for that jax the house next to my grandfather's sold for £70,000 in July 2008 but granddad's was the corner house, and possibly a little larger. No sign of anything earlier than 2000. The house we lived in was sold for £12,000 in 2000 ...... I hope it had an indoor bathroom by then! And the house next door sold for $70,000 in Oct 2010. Thye were identical back in the day. s xx

	The last house I sold was in 2000 and that went for £165,000 should have held onto that one £12,000 seems cheap the first house I bought was in 1982 and that was a two bed terraced ex council place and that was £24,000 sold for about £76,000 in 1997 but it did have a very nice bathroom. ja..x

	Couple of days ago I gave a fair bit of info someone by pm because she was not given the info on a look up thread I decided to step in and help. Pm opened within half an hour and 24 hours later no acknowledgement for what I sent. So I sent a message saying I did'nt have to help as I was not asked but you had the time to read my pm and it is only common courtesy to reply or words to that affect. Thats been opened too and still no thanks Wonder why you bother sometimes ja...x

	OH did much better yesterday .... took 2 bananas and a granola bar with him, and nibbled on those, as well as grabbing stuff from the "snack" trays But they are going to have to increase the number of ceremonies! I think they work on getting about 100-150 students through a 1½ hour ceremony, that may also include an Honorary Degree recipient, who of course gives a speech ........ but so many more students are now attending that they're getting close to 200 OH said he left the stage during one of the ceremonies, and found 2 of the janitors sitting waiting for the end ...... they complained to him that they didn't have time to clean between ceremonies. Most important, of course, being cleaning the toilets, and then the auditorium. They hadn't finished the toilets when the "audience" for the next ceremony was being shown in! s xx

	The poo bear returns! I was going to report her latest post as a duplicate, but her posting history is such a tangle that it just isn't worth hoping that the powers that be would pay an iota of attention ...

	Jax, That Nethouseprices website is very interesting. Being a nosey so and so I looked up some of my old residences. I discovered that one of them sold for £235,500 in 2007. When I bought it in 1980 it cost me £15,000. I sold it for £95,000 in 1999, perhaps I should have waited a bit longer.
