    I don't think it should be but I think in current culture for people of roughly 'our' age it is ...expected. Interestingly people of mother's generation don't seem to feel the same themselves I think but do feel I should feel this way, lol!
    .

    I don't think you should feel that way - what other people expect is their business, you shouldn't let it worry you.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I think your language in reply only serves to fuel the problem, don't you? Sometimes less really is more.

    i think a lot of it is tongue in cheek and provocative but it probably doesnt come across like that when its aimed at you

    Best thing is to not rise. Be strong and walk away, as others have done. Respect from me to those that do.

    Maybe, who knows, we never know what people are really like sitting behind a screen.

    I really should shut up at times and let things lie.. but thats the woman in me I suppose, never do know when to shut up!

    Good luck selling your flat.. just looked at the link. Do you have to sell, is it imperative? Looks nice to me, whats comparable in the area at that price?

    Nope, I have no problems with people like LillyJ buying houses as her purchase is well thought out. Its the greedy mob, the mewers, the BTL'ers, the people that didn't work their sums out and are now up the creek... champagne lifestyles on lemonade budgets and even thats about to dry up very very soon and not soon enough.

    I got in to BTL to provide loveable homes for people in trouble like yourself.

    Yeah right.
    I do it so that my children will have a better future, not having to worry about buying their homes.
    I did not work out my sums because I cant count. Bet that makes you even more angry.
