I don't believe it...... I've just been racially threatened by someone else who's also just viewed the property... Peed him off straight away by offering above the asking price there and then making sure he heard .... He soon shut up then.... Back to London now....

Remember what they do to English bungalow's

To be honest I was completely taken aback by it all I said to him was "alright mate?" Wish I hadn't of bothered.... All he kept saying was I don't want to come here. I said " you what?" Then he come up with some twaddle about how it wasn't him personally but people he knew who didn't like the English... I thought he was joking but he was dead serious, told him not to worry about it too much as if there were any issues I'd bring some Londoners up to resolve the issues... Then asked him about the local crime rate, having the night before downloaded from the government website.... Last year someone nicked a bike and this year there have been a total of 11 crimes of no real significance all petty..... This guys version was like I'd be moving to an inner city suburb where the police are too scared to leave the local police station.... I seriously wasn't expecting this today... Sitting at Corey services on the M6 where I've just been ripped of by kfc to the tune of £10 only half of what I ordered was in the bag.....

I have a family holiday home in Tywyn, right on coast. It is a lovely part of the Country - just rains a lot!

As to the funny writing, you soon get used to it, i just don't understand sometimes the Town names and how to pronounce them properly.

For example - Dolgellau - is actually pronounced Doll-geth-lee 

Where abouts you looking Barney?

A place called Cefn-Mawr..... Yeah I know lol....  Anyway as I said, I offered the full asking price on the day.... The guy offered another £500.00 yesterday lunchtime....So I counter offered by £2500.00 he then came back with another £2k..... Well just to make him happy over the weekend and to allow him to start planning his next house move... I pulled out....
But my wife will call on Monday morning and offer another £5k..... Let's see how much 'cash in the attic' one has..... I know if I sell my current hose I'll have the equivalent of 3 times the asking price of the house in Wales.... So at the moment I can play with him like a mouse.....

As it happens was working in a clients house in Brentwood today and I was telling him about it.... I didn't mention where or anything, but he immediately knew I was in North Wales.... And suggested holiday homes had been torched in the past..... What I found amusing was the English flag one side of the border with around 50m of no mans land and then the Welsh flag.....


Thanks,
Barney
