    A lot of people rent "quite posh places". Not me, I opted for a clean, but dinky, place. Sustainable living. Doesn't take much to cover the mortgage - and the saving on rent/council tax between this (studio) and having a bedroom is about £150/month.... so that's another £1800/year banked for me!

    Personally I'd rather spend the extra £1800 and have more space and keep my sanity!! I lived in a studio for a very short period of time, and found it rather claustrophobic! I hated sleeping in the same room as the kitchen and living room. Drifting off to sleep with the stench of curry wasn't the nicest of experiences, and it ended up costing me a fortune in eating out!

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)
