Cause for celebration

Over on another site they are celebrating the fall of the rental market. This place in Bournemouth has already been dropped from £500 pcm to £450 and now the landlord is offering the first half months rent for free if you move in now:

Above a Chinese Take Away, across the road from a, Nepalese Take Away and a shop where they sell children as trophies. Hmm very attractive. A victory worth waiting for.

    Cause for Celebrating WHAT exactly?

    Are you celebrating that someone will be paying £5,400 a year for an unfurnished 1 bedroom place?

    That's just sick ...... a Mortgage would be far cheaper .....

    Sorry, we should have a sarcasm smiley. Its a dump, its in a crappy area, the landlord's got a cheek expecting even that, but to the team on another site its made their seven year wait worthwhile. BtLers are toast etc etc....
