Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

Shouldn't you be off surfing or something Gen?Seem to be missing an option here which means that Generali will have to pick up his chicken wire and crowbars and learn to knit.
Firmly in the 99% but don't really want to be in the 1% although would be if I didn't have to work for it! Miles from a Cathedral."A thousand candles can be lit from a single candle without shortening the life of that candle."

It's true - everyone in the UK is in the top 1% of world income.
And still some moan and groan ........ walk a mile in the shoes of someone who has nothing - then come back on here and complain that you cannot afford the latest Smart Phone at £600!!Bringing Happiness where there is Gloom!0 -

1) find a man whose only possession is a pair of shoes
2) take shoes from man
3) put shoes on
4) walk
Incorrect.
By your reasoning i would be looking for a man who has something.
We are talking about a man who has nothing.0
