I'd settle for any of the islands in Poole Harbour, thanks.
Preferably Green Island as I spent many a boyhood summer holiday there. :)

We were friends with the Sydenhams (Guy was well respected as a potter at Poole Pottery) and spent almost every summer there. Great fun. :)

we are lucky to live where we live, hence why I could never move up north.

Would still have to work but-
Nice 300k house (no more mortgage :yahoo:)
decent car (aka £25k+ for Jurgen to find another one of those TRD3000s)
and rest to struggle by on paying increasing council tax, petrol etc :taped:
