if you are really nice, one of the "thieves" might let you set it up in their garden.
I will and whilst i'm there, be sure to say hello. I will find you.
No need for a description - I know you'll be wearing an eye mask, black & white striped top and be in the toy gun department.0 -

Sorry but thats how I feel. If you don't like it, I dont care.
There's nothing for me to really like or dislike about your point and you can feel however you like. I do get the distinct impression that you will never be buying a house though.
Without all your emotive language, swearing and empty rhetoric I do agree with the principle of what you're saying. It would be nice, and fair, if house prices rose in line with inflation and wages rather than as an asset. They don't though, and nor does anything else. Food, petrol, cars, water, gas, electric, other utilities, land... there are loads of things that should be a stable, 'fair' price, but none of them are. This is because there are about a zillion different variables, cultural and financial, that mean constant ups and downs in prices.
So you have a choice. Be rational and make sensible decisions that suit you, or troll and swear about it on an internet form. I'll do the former, you feel free to do the latter.0 -

Best answer on the thread.
The only thing that let you down was calling this an "internet form".
