    I was going to wade in to this thought provoking thread with its' analytical debate and erudite ideas and arguments, but realised that I simply don't understand some of the very complex financial theories being put forward both on the side of renting a property versus buying a property.

    I bow down to all of your intellects. Your capacity for knowledge, reasoned discussion and respect for your fellow humans puts me in awe and I one day hope to join in with you all in considering the issues put forward. But, alas, today is not that day.

    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".

    Shall I? Shall I?

    Errr nope, staying out of it this time. :D
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    I've met and known many people from coucil estates, and with very few exceptions, all are nicer, better human beings than you, Sally Gee.

    Hi Islandannie (aka Sally Gee). It's no good logging under a different name if you don't change your writing style.:rotfl:
    I'll have some cheese please, bob.

    A council estate. Sorry for the typo.
