"Wear and tear" in a rental property

Could all those people who have a problem with the O.P. 'Take it outside'?

This board is supposed to give advice, not carry on a witch-hunt from another place, it was mildly amusing, but it's getting ridiculous now.

There is some good advice getting lost in amongst the nit-picking that has been going on. The board guides won't bother to sort out the silly posts from the informative ones, and will probably delete the thread altogether if it carries on.

Quite agree. I'm new to these forums but honestly the vitriol and bullying in this thread is a complete discredit to the board and something Martin Lewis should be ashamed of. Why do some of you feel it necessary to be so aggressive towards the OP? If you have a problem with her threads then may I suggest a simple answer - post elsewhere.

If you read this post from the begining as I did. You will see that misse-kensington is very rude to some replies to her question & called the posters names. I found it very rude. My curiosity was aroused about the au pair thread so I had a look & the inconsistancies in it were numerous, as is in this thread.
Its the "constant inconsistancies" that people in both threads were remarking on.
There is nothing wrong in what I have questioned above, she posted this on a public forum & its full of "do as I say's, not as I do's" (inconsistancies).
I have not been rude or called her names, but if you look on the first couple of pages she has called people "thick" (not sure if that was the exact term used, but that is what was meant).

I'm not gong to be drawn further into this disgraceful thread.

I did read it. The OP said nothing to provoke the personal insults directed at her from the outset.

I have not been able to thank posts, but if I could I would thank yours.

The Au-pair thread has been locked, I guess for the same reason as we are seeing on this one. Bullies always say "They asked for it".

Lots of people who I have never noticed posting in the 'House buying, renting, selling and property prices' section of this site have flocked over to pour scorn on the O.P. It is unpleasant and hopefully they will see the error of their ways soon.

I had written a long reply ..but decided against posting it - it is futile. Yes..you are new to the forums ...maybe if you had been around a bit longer then you may also be outraged if you knew the truth. Yes it is annoying to go off topic..but not a crime! The aggression you mention is mostly actually total frustration and disbelief that Miss K can get away with what she does - please do not say it is something Martin should be ashamed of:eek: ..it certainly is not down to him! If you disagree with those of us that have come to know Miss K`s bizarre methods of obtaining and retaining disability related benefits then OK..say we should be ashamed, however, do I think we should be no I do not ...do I think someone else should be ...oh yes..but that will never happen. :rolleyes: I really do not think it people who question the allocation of public funds that should "see the error of their ways !"

It is a very strange world we live in where it is the person who questions blatant inconsistencies and admissions of ways to work the system that is seen as the bad guy

Nice to see miss K's attitude rubbing off on you, i had much respect for your previous posts in all other forums but now you have just gone down the pan with that comment :wave:

I have no "history" with miss k & so no axe to grind.

But the inconsistancies in her posts are glaringly plain.

YES I think it is wrong. Dole/social money DOES NOT come out of the governments pockets, it comes out of all of ours. Some of that money she is appropreating belongs to me (& each of you reading this).

Do you really think it OK, that someone well enough to DRIVE, WORK & attend COLLEGE claims disability benefits (no doubt a new car is one of those, I wonder if I will EVER be able to afford to drive a brand new car ) that include a live in au pair. For which "WE" pay £200 per week & miss k pockets an "extra" on top of all the other "benefits" £150 as well as getting a live in maid?????

HAS THIS COUNTRY GONE MAD:mad: :mad: :mad:

ITS WRONG, & I'M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY ITS WRONG.

I am deeply saddened by this revelation. I got caught up in all the drama.
How can I redeem myself?
