    It is good to find that Crashy might not actually be the loopiest poster around, tbh.
  • Probates and house sales have nothing to do with the EU anyway, but when they all go tits up, Brexit will be Blaimed.

    The probate system at the moment is a complete chaotic farce, nice of them to target the recently bereaved, and increase the probate fees. It used to take 10 working days. All they have to do is make a few phone calls and issue an a4 document, but they go in like they’re re-writing the magna carter

    Saying that basic accommodation should be affordable for working people is loopy now is it? LOL. What will be seen as loopy in the future is the phase in UK society when people were tripping over themselves to get into massive debt for basic shelter, THAT is what`s loopy! A money saving site with posters who don`t like saving on property is always amusing but I think some of the attitudes to property on here are increasingly out of step with reality TBH.

    Those without assets should fund the costs of those that do? ;)

    Well my girlfriend is mighty annoyed as I told her that there can be no French Kissing after Brexit......
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    The reason I say this is a probate officer I spoke to, said their system is broken because of Brexit. I took this to mean the system was broken deliberately by the government, to punish people for voting to leave

    No doubt you will also blame the economic damage that Brexit will cause on politicians, too, rather than on your decision making abilities.

    What sort of economic damage do you think is coming?
