When the mortgage rate was 15% the average house price was £20,000 which was 2.3 times the average salary. The average house price now is £290k wh...

Re: Jack's Updates

Maybe we could lead the procession from Jack’s house, let the head car take over then we could lead the last mile into the crematorium if the family are happy with that.

Interesting that many local Tories are blaming Truss and Johnson for them getting the boot. Remind me who elected those two to lead their Party?
