Half of all housebuilding 'backed by government'

Yes, she began the process of selling off council housing. -
I would be delighted if prices dropped significantly. What these people fail to understand is that once you have bought it matters not (unless it is for a reason other than providing a home). If it was to rise to a squillion quid, it doesn't matter, unless you are planning to sell it to then live under a rock

I worked that one out in the early 00s when parents at school were gloating about how much their house had increased in value. I distinctly remember looking at the kids thinking what about this lot? It didn't take much effort to join the dots.

It reads like the definition of madness. Try hard, improve you qualifications and you will be rewarded by having less of a chance of buying you own home. This is not going to end well. At some point, people will wake up and notice. Going by what has been reported above regarding applicant numbers, I think they already have.

Why would they stop? State falls over itself to chuck money at people with kids. It is only now, this week I think, that this is being limited to two kids. Sadly it is not retrospective. Im sure down the line there will be someone trying it on and taking government to court. "It's an infringement of my uuuman rights not to be paid for having 10 kids" -
I think in part you are right. The biggest issue is 'trendy' teaching methods. I could not help my kids at primary with long multiplication because they were being taught a different method. I would have confused them plus it didn't make sense to me what they were being asked to,do. Why not just stick with the tried and trusted? That way, we all no how to do it and all of us can pitch in and help. No point in being clever if no one knows what the feck is going on
