    Well, I didn't agree with poppasmurf and I backed up your position, but I'm not really sure another thread is needed (especially when the issue is not yet resolved - and I'm still waiting for the OP to answer my first question in the thread!).

    I just thought the regulars here might like a smile, given that they may not peruse the Motoring board. :)

    He's kind of got the right idea...just applying it the wrong way. You're right, it is a strange view.

    The logic he's applying is as if the property had been destroyed.

    Having just read the gambling thread here, I smiled at your use of terminology in your reply there. :D

    Think if I ever feel the need of a deposit I will turn it on it's head and call it an option to buy with an expiry date. That should do the trick.
