    what is it with people having to boast about themselves to strangers on this website?

    first we have wasted energy on outside pools and now we have britains greatest driver.

    A bit unfair that.

    Compared to the regular inexplicable and psychologically revealing unsubstantiated boasting of posters like Hamish and RenovationMan, this is small potatoes.

    I am intrigued that a brag about being able to comfortably afford a £4k per month energy bill/external swimming pool and THE best driver in the world is small potatoes, what other outlandish things are being bragged about on here! :eek:

    I've got recognised on more than one occasion for my driving, AND been awarded points for it!

    You find it makes no sense because you don't understand.

    Of the 11 houses I viewed but didn't buy, every single one is still sat on the market unsold, nearly 3 months after I had my offer accepted on the one I bought. A few have dropped prices slightly but most haven't. It seems like all of them are expecting more than they will realistically get.
