James Blunt's family are selling their Family Business

Do you think the asking price is solely for the property at hand or increased beacuse of the connection?

David Gray had a holiday home in Stiffey (2 miles down the road) and it recently sold in a matter of days for just under £700,000

i wouldn't buy it purely coz i hate the bloke

ooppps... just read a mistake its Stiffkey not Stiffey.. although the village sign says Stiffey as someone has scraped of the K for a laugh!

...and pronounced "Stoo-key" if I'm not mistaken. Once had an eccentric vicar I believe.

What a wonderful stretch of coast! Spent many blissful childhood holidays at Blakeney. Last time I went back (couple of years) it appeared London Money was getting at it....

Wouldn't it be more honest to say that you wouldn't buy it because you can't afford it?

even if i could afford it, i wouldn't buy anything from him

Ooh matron!

Burning Bunnies, I drove through Strumpshaw on Tuesday (village just east of Brundall) and on the sign the "h" was missing: "You are entering Strump Haw" Sounds funnier than its spelt.

Personally, only because he's a mawkish, sentimental, irritating, cliched, sacharine, silver-spoon-in-gob (wish there was) fop.

Otherwise fine.

Now, would I buy a house from the Arctic Monkeys? Only if they were to remain.

Wonder though if either of them (Blunt and Arctics) will have any staying power?!
