All things English/American

I was looking up house prices in England the other day. I looked up prices on the street my grandparents lived on and where I grew up. I was shocked that a 2 bedroom former council flat in the same block as theirs is going for almost 200,000 pounds. When the council first started selling them off in the mid 90s they offered to sell it to my grandparents for 9,000 pounds! My grandfather refused to buy it.
