    Then read the posts!

    From my post above:

    By the way she owns a 700k house in Hackney which she allows her mother to stay in rent free, and pays ALL the bills. What do you do for your mother?

    and your mother? what do you give her?

    We all give our nearest and dearest as much as we can (in general). Some, like yourself, have the means to be able to lavish them more than others, but that doesn't make you "nicer" to a parent.

    Using your wealth to have a pop at others and asking what they have done, as you've done such lovely things, suggesting others haven't.....right after asking why people are being childish is pathetic.

    We know who's riher than who on the board and we know how many houses some of you have got. We don't realy need constant reminders that you have X amount of wealth, or that someone is a banker on X amount of salary, or that someone else is on X amount of salary and drinks £80 bottles of wine to celebrate the fact they got up in the morning.

    That is what this is all about right? Otherwise, why would people keep mentioning how much they earn and how much their houses are worth?

    My wife has been looking for a while.

    I'd heard the rumour, can't say I'm surprised.:rotfl:

    Buying my mother a 700k house to live in and hoping for capital appreciation once she snuffs it is not my idea of caring for my mother.

    Each to their own though.

    Yes he is not very bright but don't get dragged down to the gutter level of the sub-species on his forum. It's best to laugh and mock them.
