Could someone please check my math.. TV licence to over 75's £609 million divided by £145 a pop equals 4.2 million households getting a free TV licence, have I got that right?

Doubt they can think that far ahead.

+1 I have been saying this about Greggs for years.

So they wont.... Non of you can ever leave the EU, ha ha ha <said in evil voice> A

A little more respect please people, remember he is a expert in his field.

+1 We are heading back to 1885-1914 if you dont own (outright) your fecked for the next 20 years at least.

Doubt that person is born yet.

Their thinking about it and then they will stop thinking about it. We are on a slow decline into total corruption and total dictatorship drawn out over probably the next 50 years or so. Only then will people start to rebel, but then again they might not for hundreds of years, if ever. In the here and now come May 8th nothing will of changed.

Pmsl like they ever were going to default.

Wanna bet??

Then suddenly thirty odd years ago babies started to make processed crap and feed it to themselves... hang on a min..

Hehe gunna be fun.

Out of idle curiosity at what point would you regard this island full?

Sounds risky to me.

BTLers are a bit like a religious group, you can tell them till the cows come home there is no God and they are wasting their time on a Sunday morning but they just will not believe you, ever..

I know its nuts isn't it.

All the houses were what I refer to as ex-council houses, he does not use an agent, as far as I am aware very little was required in the way of deposits, he says he has to decorate top to bottom in between lets takes him, his mum and one of the kids a couple of days. I agree that for some BTL wizards the maintenance cost, agent fees, etc will mean that there is very little return, and remember were up north so they didn't cost him half a million each. I agree with the majority of this site, but we are friends so we are not going to fall out over it and as he says we will see in a few years who was right and who was wrong. I would be very surprised if he was doing all this for no return at all I have known him from school and have always considered him a very straight forward honest individual.

A pal has six BTL's all bought on IO mortgages all 2006-8 he is self employed so he has to declare them. His point is that in X number of years he will have six houses that will all be worth more than he paid and he will sell some to pay off others and even if the net result is that he only ends up with one, it will be one more than me, which in his eyes means that in his retirement he will have some form of income, which I will not. I have lost count of the number of times that we have shall we say, agreed to disagree because as he points out I can not be sure that the end result will be to his advantage or not. We will only know in about 15-20 years time if he was a astute investor or a t1t.

Try again, Have the W*****'s in Westminster said they will stump up the 260 odd million to get them out of this fix yet?

Wrong thread sorry.

But why has the place become a s***hole in the first place? Could it be to do with 40+ years of state dependency, encouraging the poor to breed whilst taxing the productive out of existance? I agree, but how did we get here?

Nope

I like what you did there.

Here here, sorry whats the question? Which way is the bar my good fello??? yayayarrr

If you like yes, same as it ever was. If you need to get going in your life, well,, you need to get going. Can u imagine the cries of the old folk in 1967, "how much?"£1300. Nowhere near the tin hats and beans yet.
