Diary of Award Winning Sales and Letting Agent Move On Sharon Canning
CALLING THE CLASS OF 1981 FROM ST EDWARDS RC POOLE I am proud to say I am a local girl born and bred and you will often hear me say ‘I love travelling the world, however, home is home and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else’.
What is it with Modern Day Politicians This morning I was reading the Daily Telegraph and I came across an article that incensed me so much, that I had to stop reading the papers.
At the end of last year someone from my school days came into my office looking for somewhere to rent and we got talking on how it would be amazing to have a school reunion, we are after all officially in the ‘young 50’s club’ and so the seed was planted. Facebook has been an amazing part of our journey in reconnecting our school year. A private messenger chat has also been set up and the conversations have been as if the 35 year gap never happened.
In fact, the last few weeks I am almost losing the will to live when I hear the dribble coming out of Cameron and Osbornes mouths. Do they think we are all idiots? I have been a long term Conservative voter - though I did vote for Tony Blair on his first term as I was so disillusioned by Major. Why would the man who stands at the dispatch box telling us what a great job he has done with the Economy, describe it’s
We have joined the Facebook group ‘Memories of Poole and Bournemouth’, which, not only have we reached out to a few more, it is a great page to join and see photos of yester year. The Echo has kindly agreed to write a piece and I am using my column to also reach out. We are also hoping to connect to the local churches St Joseph’s and St Mary’s in the hope we will be able to reach out to as many people from the class 1981 who attended St Edwards RC School in Oakdale, Poole.
state as ‘still fragile’, and furthermore go on record saying that house prices may fall by 18% if we Brexit! The only house prices that are going down are those of homes costing upwards of one million, because of the ludicrous Stamp Duty hikes that he has enforced on us, in the last 18 months. Has he gone mad, is he trying to cause a property crash? If not, what is he doing? To be frank what Osbourne has done to Stamp Duty is appalling. As you know I am a firm Brexiteer however, I have had a few moments in the last week challenging my thoughts and to be truthful I did wobble for five minutes on a couple of inquisitions
Of the 100 or so in our year, we have presently connected to around 50, some are travelling from American and Portugal to come on Saturday 18th June 2016 for the big reunion (our first). If you are a past pupil of St Edwards and finished in the year 1981 or know someone, please can I ask you to contact me sharon@moveonrentals.com for the venue details.
of myself, but I still keep coming back to leave. As a Businessman I am all for stability and I think we are in for a little turbulence if we exit, but it will be short lived. On the other hand, we are in for a train wreck staying in Europe and it is coming down the tracks at a rate of knots. Like it or not the issue in Greece is going to rear its ugly head soon after the 23rd of June and when it does there is only going to be one solution: a redistribution of wealth. Yes, that well known Socialist term, and guess who is going to be paying for it? You guessed it – we are! Well not just us, but also all of the richer countries and guess what that means: more Interest and more taxes. The next wave of countries that are due to join the EU includes Albania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey. Not one of these countries has GDP per Capita above $6000 (except Turkey with a staggering GDP per capita of $10,000). We have a GDP per Capita of $46000; four times that of Turkey and ten times that of Albania. I am staggered and so should you be, because they’re
For those who are interested I am the 9th person in the front row from the right.
joining and they WILL all be coming here and can you blame them? Has someone gone mad? Have our Politicians gone deaf? Do they not have any common sense? The only reason they may
Have a great week Sharon 36
not come, is because of the weather!
