Apprentiships are exactly the way some of my older friends became Accountants, or Engineers!

Not till Autumn of 89 did it peak - 6 months after the Budget.
But we then had the biggest crash in modern times by that time.
And it lasted a few years! I would have been far better off if I had rented back then, but I didn't see it!

The last months of the current Tulip Mania?
What are these buyers thinking?
-
Yup. I can see some very, very angry Chinese people on the streets of Manchester and London shi&thole areas soon
Well I think a lot of British got a bit stung with unseen purchases in Bulgaria, and Spain! I woudn't "invest" in areas I didn't know! It is a high risk!

Instead of buying a fake designer shirt with a logo, why not just buy a shirt! Even the "real" item is probably made in the same factory in Bangladesh! You just get charged extra for the logo!

OK little hard man.
Secondly i dont have a house, i live in a spare f'en room, i work in some of the most dangerous places on earth, on a dangerous oil platform sometimes sharing 4 to a room and eating disgusting food .
Fantastic! I do like a trip to oily shitholes myself!

Ah, we did some really stupid things with our student house in Birmingham...
...but it was a tip when we moved in, so why would we give a damn? Thinking back we were pretty lucky the boiler didn't kill us.
We had a back boiler, and burned some of the furniture! The miners were on strike and I was in Newcastle! Some of my house colleagues were related to miners, and didn't like Thatcher much! Eventually we went "scab" and bought some Polish coal!

Monbiot and Toynbee have been bleating in the Guardian for decades now and at every turn the government comprehensively ignores them.
I think Monbiot's support is a kiss of death for LVT - in many people's minds it will now be a crazy lefty idea unworthy of further consideration.
Mr Monbiot is certainly a person I agree with only rarely!

daily mash advice to first time buyers

LOL
I quite liked the "World of Tits Theme Park"! THat sounds like a nice day out!

University was always a sledge hammer to crack a nut, if it was purely about education you could learn the stuff in a year in the town you live in. But displacing youngsters turns it into a rite of passage, a gravy train for BTL speculators and a boost to debt and GDP. It's all a Blairite wet dream.
It's seem to me that these days a person's whole life from 0-25 is about realising the parent's dream of sending their kids to Uni to supplement their kids knowledge by 0.01%...it's just unbelievable.
Yes! If I had to do it today I would go to Germany, or somewhere else in Europe!
-
Yes, it has to be part of a scheme of sovereignty measures. Euphemism's used by the globalist traitors like 'foreign direct investment' trumpeted as a good thing of course take the place of selling the national legacy due to your children off to foreigners.
We need energy sovereignty most of all, then food sovereignty.
I'm using French electricity to heat up a Chinese meal here!

Given that for a detached house, a 4kW solar installation and solar hot water would come in at under £10k (and make the mortgage more affordable via FiT..) it's amazing that they are not standard on houses with a £350k price tag.
Yes, but I'd rather not be enthralled to some "solar company" renting my roof for 25 years! If the kit comes with the house, and it's owned by yours from day 1, I would be delighted!
Then I have to get it maintained, but that's part of the "joy" of property ownership!

Labour had the Future Jobs Fund. Which was actually quite successful.
Young people got jobs, and they worked. But only for a maximum of 50 weeks, for if they did 52 they would be entitled to employment security.
I've never known security of employment.
Neither have most of my peers.
Whilst older people I know who have been made redundant once in 30+ years and received a handsome payoff. I've known people still in their teens suffer redundancy multiple times without any form of compensation.
No! I've been laid off several times over, always with the fine offer of a minimal payoff!

Somebody has to eat their dinner sitting on the khazi.
Sort of saves a journey!
-
Quite right, if a billionaire wants to buy all the food in the world and sit on it to watch us all starve, that's his affair....
To be serious I know one single person who lives in a large 4 bed detached in Balham with an elderly single mother living down the road in another similar. Any attempt I have made to suggest they may not need all that space has been treated with derision ...(they have no other relatives to leave the money too either)
Maybe they can adopt me?

A good reflection on the moronic nature of the UK public. The only feature that has any actual value (the solar) draws the least interest.
It's good if it's owned outright! Not sure 20 years left on a 25-year lease roofing deal would add to the appeal!
-
The dead will boil up through the ground on Halloween! I saw the film!
-
I quite liked living in shared housed when I was younger! Although I am a pretty untidy *******, and not always to everyone's taste! All the fun of sharing!
I never shared with anyone really horrible! -
What a pity putting down a deposit does not seem to be a binding contract. Not like buying a car, is it?

I can't fight it but it makes me sad. In my early 20s my mate and I practically lived in the Goose, middle class private schoolboys both of us but we had many a cracking night with the staff and a gang of builders. I met my wife in there. All gone now
.You would not have mistaken me for one of those! Still I'm quite a happy bloke!
-
How is this going to affect the mad regions - such as here in Swansea West - where eveyone seems to think their house is worth over 500K and those with tiny semis and terraces want the better part of 250 to 350?
Goodness I can't afford to live in Wales! I can just see the delights of it over the bridge!
-
He's got 3 kids as well. In 15 years or so I guess they'll just have to starting saving for a £280k 20% deposit. Then bag a job with a similar salary, just to get the 4x multiples for the mortgage on their starter flat (inflation adjustments needed). Otherwise they might have to move to Hull.
Now that would prove there is a God!

CO2 sequestration. The kind of idiotic idea that only fanatics and chancers could come up with. Still it should boost GDP in a pointless sort of way.
I'm with the "disgraced" David Bellamy on this! Just let it into the air! It will be used by plants! I'm not sure Doctor Bellamy was as much "disgraced" , as sidelined, for I miss his cheerful beard!

Actually getting a BTL property and living in it is the latest mortgage fraud. If people who don't have the income to get a mortgage for the property but have a deposit get a BTL mortgage but live in the property themselves.
It's the equivalent of self-certified mortgages in 2007.
Amazing! They can moan about themselves when the boiler goes wrong!

I'd be glad to be banned by the BBC! They generally fail to Educate, Inform and Entertain, now , unlike "Round the Horne!, which was smashing!
