    There was a well spoken guy on the truth about property a couple of weeks ago, I think he said his mortgage was about £300000 yes three hundred thousand........ I bet he drives about in a nice 4x4 thats on credit.

    much as i hate the designation of people as chavs, that test is really very funny!
    i'm 24% chav.... but i think some of the questions are unfair, e.g.:
    41. Have you ever cut out and used money off coupons from magazines?
    yes of course i have, what good moneysaver wouldn't and does it count if it's the sainsbury's magazine?! ;)

    I had the career structure in place after years of studying to afford the nice car, house etc, was I happy (heres a hint- 9 years in the mental health system) am I happy now with my bog standard car and shock horror chavvy housing association house? well I'm no longer in the mental health system. More than anything I can say i'm a nicer person now compared to some on this forum and that to me is worth any amount of private houses and smart cars:rotfl:

    there's some nice rich people

    but there's also plenty of nice poor or not so well off people too
    It's a health benefit ...
