hey Jay..well if ur ever visiting bath, let me know and will meet for drink! well i guess u can see the dire current finances as an opportunity for u to get used to going without ,...LOL! ( which is prob what most of us will be experiencing a\t some point!)

Nigel, you sound a wonderful person who has insight, brains and a heart! it is right that we will all have to make a decision on lacation in coming few years..and we need to trust our instinct and where we have always been drawn to as a guide!!
Your skills will indeed be valuable if things all grind to a halt...
many of us here will have individual offerings on a soul level to what we are able to contribute in these fascinating times we live! Although i so far have very few practical skills like building or growing veg...I am a skilled holistic therapist/mentor..and my strength lies in support and mediation...one way or another we will all eventually be pooling our skills and abilities so things can be alot more manageable! wishing everyone a good day today!
