My friends have been selling and renting property in that area for over 23 years, her brother is my husbands best friend, she's honest and all the things that your man is!!! In fact she nearly convinced me to move there, but I didnt like it, it reminded me of Brighton in the sun - thats not a dig at you or Valencia - hey, we're all different! So, there isnt just one good estate agent in Valencia, altho, as a breed they're dying out at the mo with the property slump over here!!

Brighton?! Now that one I would never have got. Having pondered, the nearest I can get in UK is Glasgow-sur-Mer but with nary the slightest chance of a Glasgow Kiss on a Friday night.

One of the best aspects of Vlc that my travelling companion noted was the complete absence of menace on the streets. As she was born and brought up in Manhatten and has lived in central London the past 30 years, as a single woman she knows the smell of menace when it's about. It's a nice thing to be able to say about a place these days. Regrettably, lots of urban UK don't qualify.

These other paragons of the estate agents' trade: I could do with a name and contact details, if you would be so kind. I'm no more up for all eggs being in one basket than the next man, so I'd be grateful if you could let me know.

Christina, is it? I know a Christina but she's on Mallorca and is about 3 by now, so it can't be her. One down and several hundred-thousand Christinas to go.

I'm in no big rush, JoJo. Round about March would be about the latest, if you can get into Sherlock-mode and dig up which Christina this is and all the other stuff by then.

But if you guys promise on yr bendeds that prices will continue to plummet, I could give you till about September because I have a wedding to go to on an atoll off Aitutaki in early August.

That's a wedding on a sand-bar, a boat trip off a fly-speck about the size of Hyde Park, 40 mins by mini-plane north of Raratonga, which is a tiny blob in the middle of the Pacific Ocean 4 hrs by proper plane from Auckland, which is 9hrs by jumbo from Singapore, which is 13 hrs ditto from London - i.e. a flippin' long way.

And en route I'm up for house sitting a 100 y.o. whaling ship in a Malaysian creek round the corner from Singapore.

So, once I sell my house in Spring, like Capt Oates, I may be gone for some time.

Strange, isn't it?
The pound is now above 1.1050, just about the level it was before last Friday's bombshell about continuing recession. No real news about sterling - just a general euro weakness, suspicions that last week's figures were unnecessarily gloomy and a vague talk of Middle Eastern demand for sterling.
If the QE isn't extended at next week's meeting of BOE MPC, expect sterling to soar!

Well if they've got any sense they wont extend QE as a punishment to the bankers who seem to be simply putting it in their pockets!!!

If you're lucky, you might get a bargain like this

14 Mens Y-fronts
Item condition: -- new
Ended: 13 Nov, 200915:51:41 GMT
Bid history: 1 bid
Winning bid: £0.99

yes - that 14 prs!

13 prs white - 1 pr red. It's years since I had anything 'run' in the wash but now it's 13 prs pale pink - 1 pr red. positively Brightonian.

I think sterling needs to break out of previous highs around 1.14-1.15 decisely before it heads towards 1.20, a level last seen almost a year ago.
