Aye ... changed days alright! Away back in 1934 - five years before my first wife was born - her parents bought a *2-bedroom, detached bungalow for the princely sum of £600. Exactly thirty-four years later, her mother - by then, widowed and badly crippled with Rheumatoid Arthritis - sold her bungalow for the going rate of £3,000, to be cared for by us.

Suffice to say, *that house nowadays, would fetch upwards of 200 grand! Frightening!
