For us renting would be far more expensive, it would also be very difficult as we require a wetroom, wide doorways, no step into the home and a winch system.

Are you into S&M

Since buying my own place I have noticed there is a difference between those who own and those who rent in lots of ways.

Those who own, tend to be more successful and focused in life.

There are other smaller things, such as I've noticed my rentier friends never use a coaster when I make them a drink, where as my owner occupier friends do.

It's got to the point I'm reluctant to invite them round anymore due to the constant worry of them leaving marks on my furniture.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: This made me laugh so much.

i think its very well known on this forum that renters are the scurge of this country, and to blame for all its problems

As a renter myself, i was only this morning asking the wife, with her 3 teeth and hair that looks like a 20 year old mop, whether the fact i leave the house in shoes that my toe pokes through the end brings the area down at all? we agreed that we surely could not understand the social class of people that own houses, and went back to eating our mouldy turnips

Of course not. I really do wonder what kind of person would answer yes to that question

I have found that the extra cost of furniture polish is more than offset by giving renters generic lager whereas homeowners expect expensive gin and tonic.

I always give the Homeowners vol au vents whereas the renters get a packet of cheesy wotsits to share.

Another issue is rentiers slamming doors/drawers/cupboards.

Not sure whether or not that was a deliberate typo, but it really made me chuckle. Thanks.

You can get a good soup from pebbles and seaweed near Thames river bridges.

Funny, I've found that renters prefer the extra 'hit' of cheap lager on an empty stomach.
