Loan for OAP?

TrickyDicky101

OP, if you buy this other house before you have sold the first one you will be hit with Additional rate SDLT which will amount to a further £7kish on your new £230k purchase. You will get this refunded assuming you sell your old place within the time limits, but it is a big old chunk of money to put down in the meantime.

Opinions can change with the passing of time.
Maybe yours will too.

Without having even read the question, the OAP was a red rag to a bull. Pensioners (the ones that get pension money and bus passes, that we won't get) voted to leave the European Union.

At least one didnt, my mum.

Bet you are a really lovely person in real life lol

Us OAP's can insert a SIM into a phone with ease without making a complete mess of it...you however apparently can't?

Wow how ignorant. Those pensioners were also the ones who fought for this country for you to be here and moan about it and them. I doubt they have much time for you either. I assume you never had grandparents.

This line gets trotted out a lot, the facts don't bear it out.


WW2 ended in 1945. To have realistically fought in the war you'd have at latest been 18 in 1945 and thus born in 1927. Someone born in 1927 would be 91 this year and statistically given the average life expectancy of around 80 in the UK, most are dead*. There are very few pensioners alive today who actually fought in WW2, the vast majority are the boomers who never fired a bullet.


*As of November 2017 for example there were just 8 Battle of Britain airmen left, of the DDay veterans, in 2014 under 500 were still left. Only 1 in 32 of the US servicemen who served are still alive

Going off topic here, but not to mention the "paid taxes all their lives" that people like my Grandmother like to trot out.

My Grandmother gave up work at 19 when she met my Grandfather. Neither her nor any of her friends worked a day past their early twenties!

System

Well, this has turned into a different topic hasn't it?
For the record: I voted Remain, I am tech-savvy (have built my own gaming PC), paid approximately £940,000 in Tax and National Insurance during my working mother life, and recently went to a Muse concert.
And I have more to get on with in my life than scour forums looking for posts on which to make random comments.
Now I am going to unsubscribe from my own post as it is no longer of any use to me.

P.S. Get a life Robert1974.

Steady on! I'm around the same age as the OP and we aren't old enough to have fought in the last war! However we did scrimp and save through the 3 day week and sky high interest rates, without half of the luxuries now considered basic necessities - plus our millennial offspring are only too glad of the free baby sitting service and occasional nest egg from the sale of the family home.
So we have our uses I guess.....
