I own a tract of rainforest in Brazil I bought for 100 quid a few years back. I'm planning on building a house wide enough for one person and a skinny dog when I retire.
I think we have to face the facts, that the 21st Century is the era of the Corporation - in 50 years everything will be controlled by 50 holding companies, each one owning businesses they know nothing about, monopolising just about every facet of our lives. Loomst Tescos, they are already halfway there!
