Only Fools and Horses, the waterlogged version.
What get's me is when I lived in your neck of the woods and there was a storm/gale force wind/power cuts .. hardly a murmur on the National news, that happens in London and we're eating it !
In reference to Hull .. people [all over Britain] complained that the BBC showed more coverage of Wimbledon than the floods.
PS .. 50 year Mortgage thing ? Up to me leaving, Helensburgh came 2nd highest house prices in Scotland [second to Edinburgh]. More like 100 years.

Well la-di-da and bully for you but you've missed the point; I didn't state I lived in Helensburgh did I ? And as for buying and selling, how do you know I didn't do that ? It's not exclusive to Helensburgh is it ?

Oh and by the way, I take offence to this misquote ..

"and with reguards to oppertunism yes buisnesses do take the piss some times but screwing your fellow man in a crisis is not the same thing"

I did not make this statement did I ? So many questions .. tut tut tut

Having just came back from vacation in Tenn,Ill,and Mich. by far the smaller cities like Loudon Tenn. Estimated population in July 2006: 4,872 ,people in the smaller towns are way more friendly by nature I am thinking than in the bigger citys....Doing the job I do here in AZ I meet people coming from all over the country as well as other parts of the globe and I think when you get people one on one you see they're true side,they are very nice and are happy to tell you about where they come from, how it was like where they lived, but when people move to a big city they feel like they have to put on some armour or something and toughen up or else they feel like they will get swallowed up or something....it is true our first nature is a selfish one.

my 2 cents

or as while we sat on the porch of my wifes uncle on an awesome Tennessee evening eating fresh picked tomatos and sweet corn right off the stalk..."money and big city life ain't everything"...he is right....best vacation I have ever had.
