in Reeves in Romsey, they have loaves at £4.70 and £4.85. Crazy. I'll need someone to explain how that's Brexit related though.

Wives with no taste.

Yep, I sensed no sincerity whatsoever. The truth is that I'd forgotten the fella and what he did he is/was. All he's done for me is remind that he's an idiot.

As interesting as his openness was, politicians have always touched upon a question but said what they've wanted to say anyway. Knowing the name of the process doesn't add anything imo. What I was more interested in was the whiny weasel wanting/expecting forgiveness for his selfish double standards, and his obvious insincerity being spotlighted by Chris Moyles. He has done himself no favours.

Absolutely, a number of small improvements may just make a big difference. I'll hold my hands up and concede that there was contempt prior to investigation on my part. He's got me on side, and hopefully the players too.

I've just watched the press conference in full. I may have misjudged this bloke, I like him and he's got more than a bit about him. Straight talking, talks a lot of sense seems realistic but is confident that he can do a job and improve us. It'll be an interesting ride.

First time buyers would be deluded if they expected to buy the average house. If they're willing to start low they have more chance. We're back to choice and expectation.

Yep. I remember the newsflash. First time I cried as an adult. Our mortgage payments became about 2/3 of our combined net incomes. Scary times.

No resentments here CB. I can't change that it was easier for my folks to buy than it was for me, and that it was easier for me than it will be for my kids. I accept the reality of that, and can't see a single benefit of whining about it, or acknowledging how much easier I had it. We'll have to agree to differ.

Yep. That's part of my point on entitlement. Some of the comments assume a right or a need to buy, and £100k either suggests a massive deposit so small mortgage, or a bigger starter home than is needed. Too many people confuse desire with need.

I don't see how it helps to harp back to how previous generations had it. Your resentment of it makes no difference to my kids abilities to buy property. Yep, tougher now, but your position is about as futile as SoG's original post.

Nice 👍😀

Gillingham at home please

To quote Turkish on another thread, you've gotta control the controllables. People in their twenties ain't gonna get far moaning about how tough it is now compared to when their folks were young. They have to face reality and make sacrifices and choices. That's not bullshit, just an uncomfortable reality. I lost 30% on my first house in the 90's, had hideous negative equity and only got out of the shit through exactly the choices and sacrifices I've mentioned.

Entitlement gets on my tits. Life's about choices. Nice holidays, nice motor, no house, or a few compromises, own a house. If the big mortgage is too much, don't get one and rent instead.

You've gotta feel for the lad, but it's not an unfair decision. At his best he doesn't offer as much defensively as Rice, Henderson or Philips; as much offensively as Gallagher, Bellingham Mount, or Maddison. This season he's been way below his best, his passing has become negative, and he's just lost his mojo.

Holidays are all but a necessity. Foreign ones aren't. Outside of London, £300-350k buys something decent. 20% is £60-70k. With sacrifices, a working professional couple can save that in a sensible time. Drive a shit car, have cheap holidays, be sensible, it can be done. Leasing a nice motor each, insisting on getting on a plane for every holiday, expensive nights out, it won't happen. It ain't as easy as Whitey makes out, but it's possible.

To be fair, it will. Surveyors are already down valuing...market forces work in a variety of ways.
