Been reported that Billy Connolly and wife Pam
are going to retire to Oz.
Their Candacraig House is up for sale, it cost them
£590,000 in 1998 and is on sale for £2.75 million so
if you fancy this 12 bedroom mansion get smashing
those piggy banks.

Plus........ I don't want to leave Oz.

What are you lot like :-D :-D :-D

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Me, buy a 12 bedroom mansion - you must be joking, it takes me all my time to afford my sheltered housing studio flat :-(

Billy Connolly has a big heart and and a big wallet, he will no doubt buy a large property in Oz, maybe you can all visit him once he moves in - poor Billy :-D :-D :-D

If Billy (according to some stores) is showing early signs of dementia, he & Pam may not want to live in a big city, like Sydney, but would want a town big enough to be near the medical support he may need.

I know a lovely small town............ but there are no 12 bedroom mansions.

One of my family line long ago married the then prop. of Alnwick Castle.
Her hubbie was quite a feisty guy and believed in plenty of room ;-)

Well Errol we have heard it all before and you
know before reading any BC material what
it's going to be like.
As far as I'm concerned they should butt out.

I think someone probably took exception to the "F" word being used
