I reckon Dan is about right ... the midlands is a bit bigger though, say from Milton Keynes to Nottingham
... and by the way @brillomaster, it's everyone else that talks funny (sic), not we Northerners
Not from here but from work ... I'm almost 72 so thought it was time for a rest ... I'll probably do bits of design (construction) as long as I can but I don't enjoy the project management side of things nor the 9 to 5 anymore so it's time to go
Just noticed my old property is for sale with an asking price of £285,000.00 ... I moved in the day that Elvis died (1977) having spent a year building it with my own hands (did everything except the plastering and putting the roof tiles on) ... I built it for a total cost of £14K including the cost of the land (I had to sell the E-Type to pay some bills) and sold it 4 years later for £40K and bought the house I live in now for £32K which left enough money to buy a few toys including a 5 series BMW ...
How things change with time ...
