    Nope, I am one of those people who hates people being stereotyped...now that could be me or it could be someone else.

    All people called Jack play Xbox?
    All white people are actually well off?
    All white people don't deserve charity?

    I wish I knew what or who I was stereotyping. I was merely illustrating, through humour, that people in the UK are a damn sight better off than many many other people around the world.

    Having said that and having been to Zimbabwe on a number of occasions, indeed having met the evil !!!!!!! destroying that beautiful country, I would say the peoples there are extremely friendly (when not high on drugs and trying to shoot me with AK47s) and probably happier with life than our miserable brits.

    Of course they're happier, they've got drugs, guns and get to shoot IFAs.

    Looks like you have me bang to rights as well:silenced::silenced::silenced:

    Great how you put all us bears in our place


    Yep all us propbears are in our place, we have been proved right. The bear market in property is clear to see.

    All the permaprob bulls who have been ramping property have been proved wrong without any doubt.

    When will it get to breaking point where all these landlords not getting their rent will be repossessed? If I was a landlord which I am not, I would try and keep a bit by to cover tenants not being able to afford the rent. It costs thousands and a few months through the courts to evict them, and you have to keep up with mortgage payments which will be harder as they keep on going up.

    It cost me about £100 (the small claims court is quite cheap) to take my tenant to court, the court ordered her to pay up approx £2,400 (which she did) plus an extra 8% PA was added to cover interest on the money owed.

    Another case we lodged for a smaller amount only cost us £35, that was against the vendor of a house that we bought, but he paid up when he received the summons.

    Housing benefit will certainly be cut back from now on. It's started with under 25s losing benefit and having to move back in with parents. Next it is looking like anyone with more than 2 kids will have to live in small place and only get the same rent paid as families with. 2 kids.

    Why do you change your name when you quote yourself? To make you appear less weird?
