    That's utter poppycock - and I would like you to prove that statement, or apologise and remove it.

    A failure to do one or the other will show you to be merely a troll causing trouble!

    I shall be waiting.

    Will you be waiting on the 'Yatch' or in the Aston?

    Is that an apology?

    I was expecting so much more ...... do you have the balls to admit you are wrong stating I have other usernames?

    Or do you have the evidence that I do ... which I would be most enthralled to see.

    It's the internet - what are you going to do - slap his face with your glove and challenge him to a duel?

    I know it's the internet, an apology for calling someone wrong still applies here.

    Or would do if a set of balls hangs in his undies!

    My motto is that if you wouldn't say something to someones face - don't say it on here.

    where renting is cheaper than an I0 mortgage it is quite clear that the renter is no worse off in a stagnant, if not falling market.

    Are you able to provide some examples from your VI area where this is true?

    I wouldnt know which one of you to address it to.

    Regardless as you are keen on proof, where is the proof to back up any thing you have claimed, fast cars, 'yatch's, big houses.

    Or are you just another internet saddo needing to big up their life with claims of vast wealth. Lets think who that sounds like...

    Take a 2 bedroom terrace property where I live, £200k

    Deposit £50,000 - Mortgage at 5% on £150,000.

    The rental on that place would be £900 a month - to buy it over 25 years would cost £886.

    It's close, I'll admit, but - buying gives you something at the end of it all.

    If everything remains the same, the buyer sells for £200k after 25 years. The renter still pays £900 for every month thereafter until death.

    The stark facts are painfully simple - it does surprise me hugely that more people don't see it?

    I'm sorry I can't say sorry - but I am not even a man on the internet - so sorry MrRee

    EFA as you don't show the courage to do so.

    Reality is few FTB's have anything near £50k deposit (25%) saved up.

    That's okay, because you don't need to save up 25%
