1.x%? Jesus H Christ! When I bought my first house I was paying 15%! Something like that. A lot, anyway. £800 a month it was. In 1989. That's equivalent to £1,400 today, according to tinternet. You could pay a lot of mortgage with £1,400 a month at 1%.
My first flat was £17k in 1986..... now worth close to £300k.... bugger

don't drink beer, do you
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

If I was going to retire to Africa, Zambia would be at the top of my list, I think. Maybe second, after TZ.don't drink beer, do you
In fact, r, my retirement list currently looks like this:
1. Cumbria
2. Cornwall (Too crowded)
3. Southern France (Too many euros required)
4. Thailand (Can't go until the wife's 50)
5. Cambodia (Too gangstery for the missus' taste)
6. Tanzania (Too much chance of instability)
7. Zambia (No sea)
As you can see, this is a most pleasing list. Which is your favourite?
Penang. Cheap as chips....
Full of allans. I might as well retire to Tower Hamlets. It ain't going to happen.
THey are almost all Chinese. Even the Indians arent muslim, in the main.
Chinamen are almost as bad p and you darned well know it. Anyway, when I was last in Penang there were allans and masjids all over the shop.
