For the same price as a one-bedroom flat in East Oxford you could get a private island in the Philippines.

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
House prices are shockingnowadays.
Now back in *1968 - 6 months after we married - my late first wife and I were allocated the tenancy of a newly~built, 3-bedroomed council house. (Indeed, I still stay there, having bought it eventually, courtesy of Thatcher's 'Right to Buy' Scheme).
Because her mother was a widow, who suffered from a severe form of rheumatoid arthritis, she needed looking~after. And, this, in turn, meant coming to live with us by selling the 2-bedroomed detached bungalow she & her husband had purchased in the mid~1930s for a mere £600.
Guess what she got for it 33 years later - just over *£3,000.
....................................................happened to be the "going rate" for properties similar to hers at the tail~end of the 'sixties.
*Today, I believe the same property would fetch somewhere around the figure mentioned in the thread title ... a WHOPPING £250,000!
Don't need to tell me about house prices, that's why we moved from London.
Its not a lot of money these days for houses but i would hate to think of a mortgage and the payments and for how long too.
I am glad i am out of that race .
