Last week I had the pleasure of talking with a local estate agent but in spite of what he told me about rising costs, even that did not prepare me for news of some of the astronomic rates now applying to properties in East London. And today we reported on the recently advertised delights of renting a mattress on the floor of a garden shed installed in the living room of a house in Bethnal Green. A snip apparently at a mere £530 per month!

Margaret Mills took us back to an earlier time when people living in the East End were able to purchase plots of land in and around Basildon for just
£5. Listen to what Margaret told me today about the development known as Plotlands. Just click on the link below:-

I’ll see you again next week,
