Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    Have to be honest - I've never met a 'Stinchcomb', either. ;)

    Don't worry about the 'dear'. By the time you get to my age, you call everyone dear. When they give you a seat on the bus. ;)
