There's a coop 2 secs from my house that's becoming a spar; the estate is deprived enough as it is.

 

The other thing I don't think helps is how so few people now know how to use fresh ingredients or even ingredients that they aren't just warming up. You can go to the coop at 9pm each night and all the veg will be reduced, along with anything wholemeal, often the seafood and cuts of meat but they've never got a reduced shitty sandwich that they'll charge 2.50 for ... says to me people can't or won't cook

 

Spot on

 

My brothers ex had a go at me for letting my daughter shoot rabbits when she was 8yrs old - rabbits that we ate.

 .......... This was a woman that couldn't cook for shit and would happily feed her kids microwave meals all week.

I agree with the things are harder for young people bit completely mate, imho the whole system has been engineered so that nobody will ever stand a chance of getting off the wheel.

Ideas of 50 year mortgages that will be inherited by children are now being banded around.

We have to f***ing stop this madness somehow.

Seeing a security tag on a block of cheese should shame everyone into action……but then again, so should the rape of our children by 3rd world gangs but it’s don’t seem too.

Jesus f***ing Christ like ?  

I seen there thinking about scrapping affordability checks. Which is completely ridiculous

I truthfully stepped off for years, I still know people who are almost if not totally invisible, everything is cash, vehicles and homes in other people's names,it's not as difficult as it sounds, it's a lifestyle that most can't understand but it's liberating.

I have never believed they cared about affordability, what they did after 2008 was use that situation (which they created) to bring in rules so that they could have a look at everyone’s life in detail and make sure they were robbing them for every penny.

There are 15 pages of houses in Cornwall on right move that are between £1 million and £8 million…..15 pages !!!…….don’t tell me a farm worker in rural Cornwall is buying any of them, at page 40 they get to half a million pounds !!

The last thing any f****r cares about is affordability, least of all the government.

Mortgage debt is insured anyway, if someone can’t pay they don’t loose….they just chuck them out and put in the claim.

Read an article recently which analysed how much british workers' pay  has decreased over the last fifteen years compared with  how much profits and dividends have increased, as well as the salaries of chief executives. Its a total rip off. Real pay has decreased 2% compared to 15 years back.

 In 2021,  43% of 25 year old males still live with their parents because they cannot afford to move out.

Crap situation.

I left home when I was 17, paid rent and still managed to piss my wages up against the wall.

Rents and house values have gone up, wages have gone down.

I bought my house at 23 and still went on the piss regular holidays etc. but still saved enough for a deposit. That was 5 years ago. And wasn’t exactly on a brilliant wage.

My repayments are £650 a month 3 bed house garage and parking for two cars. Only joined by garage is that semi detached?  Next door neighbour rents £800 a month. I know its hard to get a mortgage but far better if you can get one.
