    True next time I will see a "bear" post I will say they are in fear of never owning and are most probably scrotes who will never own a house.

    The forum would be so funny.

    So, no change from the usual Bull posts then? ;)

    Well one bull I can think of but never let "teams " cloud your judgment.

    Anyway back on topic.

    Won't as many if not more people as a %age in rented accommodation end up at soup kitchens, lower paid jobs no savings,first to go etc.

    Seems to be a thought on here home owners are only affected by recessions.

    I logged on expecting five informative pages on soup kitchens. Instead the thread diverted into a slangfest and !!!!!ing match involving a few posters and teams of thanking buddies.

    Excellent stuff.

    btw - do you know there are no adverts for soup on this forum? Martyn's missing a trick.

    I 'thanked' you, mewbie. Does that make us buddies?

    Perhaps we could form our own group of thank buddies. Don't need intelligent wit on every post when you have a thank buddy!! (I'm a little too lazy to have thank socks).

    But then the thanks become a debased form of currency. Unless having internet 'friends' in more important than being thanked for being an irritating and childish @sshole. Er. I'm referring to myself there, in case there's any confusion.

    Er. Not that there could be of course.

    Er.

    Um, it's already so debased that it's worth less than Sterling, mewbie.
