Question Draw a 150 miles radius around Reading ...

... and where is the cheapest and best place to buy a holiday property?

You know what I want, a thatch cottage by a crystal clear trout stream running into the sea within walking distance. The property will have 5 acres, a triple garage and orchard ...... it will be positioned at the end of a quiet lane and cost £99,000

I'd have thought Skinningrove would've been more your kind of place Pete... More than 150 miles mind.

I would have thought this would make more sense, considering your concerns with imminent nuclear war in the middle east!
