We all know that property has dropped in value both at home and abroad thanks to the credit crunch and the economic gloom so I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised to discover that even the price of land on the moon has dropped significantly.
When you are short of money buying land on the moon might not seem a terribly important priority. There is no mention of getting mortgages or bank loans to make the purchase so I expect they use credit cards with their astronomically high interest rates instead.

I find it hard to imagine that these land claims will ever be validated if ever development does take place on the moon but the certificate would be an amusing talking point when framed and mounted on the wall.
This is another very funny Bird & Fortune video clip. This one is about the Northern Rock Crisis, the banking industry and how all the clever and extreemly well paid people in the industry know so little about what is really going on. Enjoy…
I saw a reminder a couple of days ago that money problems are not just about debts, loans and credit cards. Portsmouth police report that a man was invited to see a laptop computer that was for sale. He met two men in a car park at the rear of a store and from the boot of a car a top quality laptop was produced and demonstrated to him.
He was impressed with the computer and delighted to be told he could buy one just like it for only £600. He handed over the money and was given a laptop bag and told him there was one just like it inside. The sellers drove off with the money and when he opened the bag to look at his new laptop he discovered he had bought a laptop bag full of Potatoes!
It is an important reminder that not everyone is as honest as we would like them to be and we should all be cautious when someone offers us a deal that seems too good to be true. Always be suspicious if someone wants to sell you something but you have no idea who they are or where they live. There are plenty of people out there who will gladly con you out of your money.
