    Not in this weather it isn't.

    Living on a boat is a cold, damp, and miserable existence.

    How does he dispose of his sh*t?

    Isn't a 'buy to let friend' someone that is normally managed by a pimp?

    I wonder if anyone really has friends known as BTL friends.

    There goes that BTL Dave, waving his copy of the daily express in my face and doing a little jig to celebrate the 0.3% increase in house price recorded in an index he said was fundamentally flawed last month, in a dance as old as time.

    And your point is ? You have a friend? He lives near the sea?
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.
