The island's tomato production has almost ground to a halt and it used to
be its lifeblood. Thank goodness for the finance industry and I never
thought I'd hear myself say that! Anthony Le Page who employs 15 workers on
his 2ha glasshouses in the Vale is closing down.

I wonder what 2ha of Guernsey is worth? A one-way ticket to warmer, drier
climes.

Oh certainly a LOT of money, though it depends whether it's used for
developing houses for the local or the open market. I'd guess the
former, if anything. Property values in the islands are incredibly high.
