Another Boring Work Blog

A rolling list of work on the desk of David Thame, freelance writer on commercial property, retail, regeneration and regional economics. The hope is that PR people find it useful.

If Google brought you here and you are now horribly disappointed and unhappily baffled because you were looking for someone a lot more literary and, well, not like this, then you should probably head here instead.

Please note: I do not have any Twitter or Facebook or LinkedIn accounts - so any you stumble into are (scarcely believable, I know) from some other doppleganger David Thame, not me. There's also a www.davidthames.com site - and the s is quite important, and it's nothing to do with me.

Estates Gazette, Scotland Focus


Two features: how will public spending cuts change what's planned in Scotland - big regeneration projects for the chop, Scottish Enterprise in turmoil? We ask the important questions...

Second feature on Scottish banks and commercial property. What with BoS and RBS, Scottish banks were up to their eyebrows in property debt - so is Scotland heading for (or already in) an Irish-style lending crisis? Will we see disposals by banks - if so what property will they sell and when? A Scottish NAMA?

Comment/contacts by 26 July, please.

Second feature on the office property market in the same area.

Deadline for comment/contacts Monday 26 July.

Estates Gazette, Leisure Focus, 21 August 2010

I'm interested in marinas - big with boom-time money-makers, and the housing developers who want to sell to them, so are they all washed up today? Marinas - inland or coastal - anywhere in the UK are potentially of interest if they are (a) thriving (b) closing (c) confused. Comment/contacts by 27 July, please.
