I would 'lose' as much as the next woman, re my choices in future.  I just despair about what will happen to the next two generations after me and want someone to do something, now.

I'm frantically looking for my certificate of ownership in a square foot of Islay - given free with a bottle of whisky.

Where's your square foot Alan? We go most years - maybe I could visit it for you!

And collect all my years and years of back rent? (One wee dram p.a.)

Then, Justin, let's all start putting our certificates together, saving every one of the annual wee drams. In 203 years time our descendants will own most of Islay and possibly Scotland. Which will contain vast mountains of vats of stupendously invaluable whisky. Which will inevitably be accepted as the world's golden reserve currency.

Sure, HG Wells had a very similar idea in The Sleeper Awakes.  But that used compound interest as a plot device. The Laphroaig Standard is the real thing.

Gone up over 30% in two weeks in my road. Estate agents call us Ally Pally borders, I call us Wood Green, off Station Road.

£375000 two weeks ago, £500000 today. Maybe down to The Times naming Ally Pally as one of top 100 areas to live in UK last Sunday. No hope for my kids if they want to buy in London.
