    I think so, but maybe it will help you to understand as I believe a Scottish national trait is to disaprove of spending money. (apart from on rent)

    I see, so geneer is just another one bitter about wasting good money buying someone else's property for them ...... I guess I would react badly to someone who displayed signs of being one of life's winners then?

    Makes sense now ..

    No wonder the average person can’t afford a house after spending £7000 of his £16000 yearly take home on motoring.

    Go easy on him, he joined HPC 6 years ago, has rented for a further 6 years while prices escalated, it is understandable he is foaming with rage - nearly 40 and bought a house for someone else. I envy his landlord, & I bet he drives a nice car.

    Lets be a bit more inclusive :)

    Hmm, not sure I would call that cheap......
    i was lucky enough to have the previous incarnation as a hire car in florida a few years ago (and only the 4litre). if i had the money, i'd be falling over myself to buy that :)

    Holy Cow .... he has been buying someone else's house for all that time?? No ... really??

    All that money wasted ..... no wonder he hates me, someone who had made every penny work for him and turned pennies into pounds!!

    Him and his 'clan' of sockies can't take it ... it is sad though - yes, let's be inclusive .. tee hee ......

    Yes, renting is not dead money, it's money well spent.
