Blackpool Carpark Overnighting?

I just remembered. In 1972 we paid £4,800 for a two bed semi in Thornton Heath.

In 1974/5 I started work in Norbury, it was nice then.
Which is a long way from Blackpool.

Did stay at Fleetwood a couple of years ago, which was good.

In about 1979 an article in the paper said that a Ferrari which had cost £4800 in 1972 had just sold for £10,000.
Never did investing in a house seem such a bad idea. My house was probably worth £6k by then.
Mind you in 2024 there are some people paying over £100,000 for a panel van converted to a campervan. . . .

I would think your house would have been much more than that in '79? I remember moving to a 3-bed "link detached" house in Berkshire in 1974 or 1975 and that cost £15,000 IIRC. And yours would sure be worth similar being in South London?

I sold that house in 1994 for approx £85,000 so not a massive jump at all in 20 years compared to the way house prices have gone insane in the last 20 odd years.

Maybe we should change the subject? How to people feel about wild camping in Middlesbrough?
