    My biggest fear for UK.

    And I am not even English. Is that global warming develops to the extent where this year’s floodings are frequent and more and more devastating. If you have invested all your money in UK property and something really bad happens in 30 years you will have worked all your life for nothing.

    I hope thinking more about this will anger your view on the world’s dominant power ( US ) and their games of “I rule the world” and “I don’t care about global warming”.

      One of my houses is just 2 m above the flood plain. Think I should sell it ?

        To whom? You're assuming someone will buy it.

          Good thing it's the cheapest house then £130,000.
          What the hell, it's insured (at the moment)

            My house is 300 feet above sea level and this was a definite consideration when I was looking. I wanted to live near the coast but not quite on a beach. Now I'm beginning to wonder, is it high enough?

                    Got about 4 acres here so have a full time gardner since I hate that stuff, got him one of those sit on things too. Great for BBQ's and bonfires, maybe build on the top end at some point and move in there (even higher up). My only concern now is the small river that runs through it all...
