I did use the word 'if'

I didn't say one day history wouldn't repeat itself either.

I admit to missing your "if". :beer:

If we are using the bible as a reference, it is interesting to note that the one and only time jesus became aggressive was when he was kicking the moneychangers out of the temple.

For moneychangers, read bankers.

He had something against bankers and knew they were up to no good.


Fast forward another couple of thousand years..............

Some things never change

As far as I can see, reading the thoughts of the most prolific posters on here, there is no chance I will ever get a house. I can't afford one now, and they are just going to keep going up and up faster than my wages. Therefore I never will be able to buy one.

I wonder if they will still keep going up even if no one can afford one?

I don't know how old you are, but I thought that once.

When I was 30 I bought a caravan to live in.
A couple of years later I got my hands on one of the first ever SO bedsits on a council road.
Sold that 7 years later, was in NE.

Then I moved hundreds of miles away to where houses were cheaper/affordable ... and aged 40, I bought one.

Changes of circumstances meant I couldn't really afford to maintain it/pay the bills, so sold it again.

Just believe one day you might be able to ... and maybe you will.

And don't buy an i-pod.


That can be a major barrier to home ownership.

I think Martin will be pleased with all the good money saving stuff going on in this thread.

He might celebrate by purchasing a pizza on special offer.

You lucky beggar... I've totalled just £6 today, I've been tearing my hair out trying to work out what's changed. My CTR's gone up the spout for no good reason.

Damn, now you tell me. And the headphones were crap and fell out all the time anyway. Thanks to that £40 spent I'm condemned to renting:mad:
