    “central North of England” ? I don't think so.

    Rugeley is S.E. of Stafford and is in the West Midlands.

    It sounds absolutely lovely, but why publish here? Seems quite bizarre. ..

    It's not a bad price 159 acres...a fairly large house, plenty of outbuildings and steel farm buildings.
    Get an income from the land...usually the Govt give you money for not growing stuff or rape seed....
    land in the UK.....small place and they don't make it anymore....
    It may be greenbelt, but for how long...always a good family investment....the farmers that I know that are loaded by selling land for new-builds...

    I think it's lovely. Bit of a drive though. About twice the size of my place. Hey, my place is worth £650,000! Any offers?

    Probably as Mr.Think infers...someone in Merco is doing someone a favour because of a connection to get a wider audience viewing and so more chance of getting the asking price.
    It's a case of not what you know, but who you know....

    And to think I was moderated by Mercopress for raising awareness of the disgusting practice of female genital mutilation in Sierra Leone and other Central African countries. Yet they can run a story like this??????????

    Turnip at (11)...

    Maybe they were afraid that people would start to “Think” about the disgusting practice of male genital mutilation in the United States of America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and other Anglo Countries?

    #13 Assuming you're talking about male circumcision, it is no more prevalent in the UK, NZ, or Australia than it is in the rest of Europe and South America so spare us your pathetically misguided and ill informed Anglophobia.

    Moreover circumcision has numerous well documented therapeutic benefits (which FGM does not) to the extent that any risks or side affects (which are tiny) are balanced by potential benefits (again, small).

    Just another example of you demonstrating your blind hatred.

    1) I didn't mention the UK... Their GP's are pretty decent chaps...

    2) if you are an Aussie, Kiwi, Yank or Kanuk male male over the age of 40, chances of you having been mutilated as a child are close to 70%....
    If you are an European or South American, they are less than 5%...

    3) “Well documented therapeutic effects”... says who?
    “Tiny side effects”.... says who?

    Just another example of an Anglo demonstrating it's brainwashed turnipidity...

    And a paved patio too!

    I think it very important to keep ones patio neatly paved. I do hate an unkempt patio...

    You are quite witty today....
    You should seriously consider only commenting on real estate articles and forget all about Venezuelan and Argentinean affairs....

    And a rose garden, oh my! (feels faint, pours a stiff gin)

    I expect the bushes are nicely trimmed too.

    Standards must be kept up, I feel. Very important, standards.
