Hello List! My brother just wrote to me to tell me that I could buy a fisherman's hut on Portland Bill for GBP30000, or another one on Chesil Beach for GBP50000. I'm not sure about the Portland Bill one, but the Chesil Bill hut appeared in what I think was Telegraph article. It is only accessible from the sea, has no running water and a chemical loo. I can forward off list a copy of the article in question, if of any interest. In both cases you are not allowed to sleep in them, because that would change the legal status, and who knows, make them even more expensive!! When I think that that estate agent in question was an old schoolbuddy, playing bass guitar in a group imitating the Shadows! Actually my brother is a bit peeved because only a few years ago he sold an all mod cons flat just opposite what was the cinema for mere 25 grand. HHe still has a square meter of land in northern France for sale by the way, if anyone's interested. He bought it for environmental-friendly reasons to try and stop ths TGV (high speed train) going through. He is now one of their best customers.....sic transit gloria. Geoff
