    Oh right so everyone who lives in a council property is scum of the earth right?

    Grow up!

    And welcome to the real world, where alot of people have no choice but to rent or live in a council house.

    I lived in council estates throughout my childhood and never lived on an estate you have described.

    I know live in a privately rented property, its not dead money to me - without it i wouldnt have a roof over my head - worth the price to me. Not everyone is in a position to buy so welcome to reality.

    Oh and while your there learn a bit of respect.

    Not much security in having gangs of chavs running around your estate lobbing empty cans of Frosty Jack cider at your "home" or having to run the gauntlet of burbury clad pitbull owners if you want to pop out for a pint of milk. Although I suspect (like everyone in corpy housing) you live on a "nice estate".

    Your an idiot.

    I suppose private estates have no chavs eh. Private housing can actually contain the folk who would never get rehoused by a council due to prior behaviour.

    If council houses are so bad, then why is the waiting list so damn massive?????????

    I bet you live in your own, overmortgaged house. I bet your worried sick about neg eq and repossession.

    I bet your relationship is suffering. I bet you are a deeply unhappy person.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.

    I hated renting back in the early 90's. landlords that can call in and "inspect" your home, being told what you can and cant do in your "home"

    Lets face it renting is a second class lifestyle for those that must

    I doubt you have done anything yet, probably still live with mummy.:rotfl:

    Having had 3 tenants pay off my mortgages I am inclined to disagree with you. Further, I hope to be decorated for `services to the lettings industry`

    Do you realise how much of a snob you sound? Looking down on anyone who cant afford to buy

    Must be cheaper to have a funeral pyre by the local canal?

    2001 might be the last time you bought a house, but i guess you have MEW'ed a couple of times since then.

    My security of tenancy here is probably more secure than what you have. If I lose my job, I just claim HB.

    If you struggle to pay, your gonna get 6 months at most, then your out on the street.

    Live with it.
