    First guy was a self-confessed thug at school, never learned to read and write properly, but somehow managed to get a stonking big mortgage, for £174k

    Third guy buys house from council for £40k, MEWS all the way up to £150k. "They were just throwing money at us basically... I don't think anyone actually reads the small print"

    No sympathy for any of these financial retards; it's especially sickening the way they are bringing in their children into it.

    love that ending comment. "i'd never get a mortgage again, i wouldn't trust the mortgage company". don't think they'd be offering, darling.

    Why didn't Alun get any sort of job months earlier to get some sort of income instead of thrashing a one man business selling mortgages and going nowhere?

    I'm hoping there were justifiable reason but I can't help but be filled with rage.. :mad:


    .. and the Essex guy F'ing and blinding down the phone demanding to be housed. Now I have chest pains!!

    As a society we all need to pull together... why do I feel like there are more being pulled??

    I agree. 1st couple should have stayed in council, it's where they ended up. 2nd couple cloud 9 BIG time un believable. 3rd Mewing like there was no tomorrow even to give the fat daughter hi lights........... nice. Getting married soon. !!!!!! the money coming from for that, loan off the shark down the road.
    I came in to this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left. :rolleyes:

    I was trying not to be judgemental in anyway but I couldn't help notice...the motorbike sat outside (council couple)

    the 53 reg vaux (7 kids couple)

    And the tv in everyroom (caravan couple)

    You telling me they couldn't have sold things at boot sales etc to help raise funds

    I'd rather sit on orange boxes and sleep on the floor than have to go through repossesion
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right
