No and no plans to do it. It may take many a year from now (30 - 40 years or so) but I would sell up, spend it and then move into the kids house, a nursing home or a cemetary.

Rare Womble99 Posted February 17, 2017 #68 Share Posted February 17, 2017 My kids - 31 and 27 are having far too much fun to have kids so I decided I will have fun spending their inheritance. I still haven't worked out the concept of "spending their inheritance"? Since an inheritance is property bequeathed to someone upon your death, well until I am dead who knows how much or how little property I will have so what exactly am I spending? And based on the current generations saving efforts I don't think the next generation to follow is going to see much of an inheritance coming their way in the future so I wonder why they are so keen on us to leave one for them? Guess I will have to just take another cruise or three and ponder it a bit longer :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted February 17, 2017 #74 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Rule Number 1. Don't order Fosters. Hard to get a lot of Yanks and Poms to believe that it's not drunk much down here, we just flog it to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted February 17, 2017 #75 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hard to get a lot of Yanks and Poms to believe that it's not drunk much down here, we just flog it to them. They brew Fosters in Canada for the American market and also brew it in UK for the European market. We sent it overseas because no self respecting beer drinker here would touch the stuff, let alone drink it.:eek: Fosters brewed in Australia was 4.9% abv. The overseas stuff is general around 4%abv. As for ciders, I like to drink Thatchers Gold when in UK, always well chilled. But if we are staying in a nice west country pub and they have the local scrumpy cider on, I will give that a whirl.
