I stayed there back in 1982 or 83 I think, whilst fruit picking during the summer holidays - had a ball.

As far as the property goes, seems a lot of cash for that part of the world for a speculative punt.

Very good.

However, and without wishing to spoil the joke, I am a Brit. Was still a great holiday!

A Brit pretending to be a Froggie? Zut alors! You should be locked in the Tower and forced to eat camembert until you see sense spin

Selection of a user name hardly constitutes 'pretending' does it, old chap?

I know it well, I used to live about 10 miles away & my mum lives less than that.
It is quite a way out of Friday Bridge, although the foreign fruit pickers would either walk or hitch a lift from there to Wisbech & back. It looks a lot better now than when I lived there when it was pretty tatty. Be interesing to see what happens to it!
