As it is a hit the quote button and nothing appeared, luckily I pressed back and his post was still there for me to copy. I will just park this here to refer to at a later date.
"Yes because a couple of sock puppets confirming your not really a big 30 year old mummies boy who squeezed every single last drop of milk from her nipple and last penny from her purse will finally be believable.

They're just not within commuting distance of London.
Perhaps look a bit further than your own back garden.
And a six figure salary for a family house? Come off it. North of England - 3 bed house for ~60k. South East - 3 bed house for ~200k.
Simple figures that can easily be gotten with a bit of google.
Maybe I should have been a bit more specific. A family home that's not in the middle of a ghetto.0 -

That's a bit more realistic. And with today's current lending criteria it would take close to a six figure income to afford it. Some people are really in denial about the current price of houses.0 -
£279k would get you a 4 bed detached in a nice road where I am 45min by train from London0

Well, I'd like to live in Kensington and Chelsea. Would be nice.
Not how the world works.

I'd love to live in a family home in Alderley Edge, Hale or Prestbury. I can't afford to though because house prices are too high. We should do do something to reduce them.

Not bad 45 minutes from London, I suppose all those Brummies will be able to say that soon
