Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    But you can't beat being 90 and saying we are done for. I do feel (which I know I should not) that the guy is near the end of his stay and is now going, "see y'a enjoy the mess" :)
