Those with eyes to see would have noted my real beef is with the idiot who thinks that £50,000 is a salary we all have at our disposal.

Yes, noted. It was the other things ...

Punched cards in my case, but not ARPANET either - Wow you must be well-old!

True, but well oiled.

χίλια, actually. (now I have made this pedant persona, I have to keep to it)

So £50χ then?

No, so I am intrigued.

I refer you to the answer I gave earlier.

Wrong. My attitute is we have a hole in the deficit the size of the bismark, and if house prices werent so extreme, people wouldnt have problems getting on the ladder in the first place.

You are getting sold a kipper and are too stupid to realise this will get taken from you in increased VAT, income tax or other means. Thats if the banks dont increase FTB mortgage arrangement fees to compensate for the increased profit margin the chancellor has just given them the opportunity to take.

I didnt get 100K saved in the bank off a 50K salary by frittering my money away sonny jim.

Another pleasant post I see.

Is that £100K net or gross :rotfl:

You should be on £112K by now as you save £4K a month. I won't link to the thread in question as I know you are sensisitve about me doing that;)

ftb= person or person who are not or have not been on the land registry

I have been on the registry, but my girlfriend hasn't and we are about to exchange on a property.
Anyone know if we are eligible for the SD break?

Thanks in advance.

I am sure the government will be setting up some quango to police this and make sure no alleged FTB's who are actually next time buyers slip through the net.

Once the Inland Revenge get involved they won't give up.

Ouch, just going through a FTB purchase for £262,500 - stamp duty feels even more painful than it did.
