except for the woman in London whose mother had to share a room with her grandchildren.

I didn't understand that bit.
Why did the grandmother share the smallest bedroom with the grandchildren?

Doesn't common sense say she should either share with the mother -or- the sharers should have the biggest room?

She doesnt want her mum seeing her boyfriends bone her.

And no road tax either. I was considering getting an old landrover and running it on veg oil, but it's probably more effort than it's worth!

I have two cars, an MG and a Rover. Mrs GG has a Ford Focus.

I have no idea why I'm telling you this but I have been off-line for three days and needed to post something!

Surely you've made the point that you're all red-blooded males now. I do not have the faintest idea what any of you are talking about, but surely I'm not the only one who finds it REALLY DULL.....?

Nollag, I've done well from property but I find your tone unfortunate.

That lady investor last nigh (cross between Mary Poppins and Barbara Cartland) thought she was so clever having £4.2m 'worth' of property and £1m in equity, what a joke! Much of her supposed profit could be wiped out in the blink of an eye. She is not an investor, shes a fool.

Really not difficult to do what she has done as long as you leave the brain at home.

Far better to have say 4 properties with zero mortgage and a net rent of £25000 pa and then use the £25000 +interest to buy another property every 5 years or so.

People like her think they are so smart, when in actual fact she is just a chancer. So much could go wrong for her.

Sooner or later people will recognise that the lady featured in this program is a *speculator and not an investor. There is a very important difference between the two that is often overlooked.

Good luck to her if she can keep the whole thing going.

*Investing is playing with your own money, speculating is playing with borrowed money.

If I was doing this I would buy myself a chassis & build it up with modern components - get a modern engine etc.

I'm part way through doing this on a 5.6 litre AMG Mercedes, it's costing a bloody fortune, don't do it:rolleyes:
