The 80's was my time of freedom
The irony - loads of time to spare but not a lot of dosh and no house.
Now I have dosh and a house, I have no time!!!
Next time I have time, I will probably have no dosh or be too knackered...
No, I should have learnt that ultaimately money is nothing about hard work, and joined a union.
I spent nothing beyind what I needed to stay alive and run a car,.
yes.
yes.
Until Labour took it all back in taxes and the banks stole it all.
Not necessarily to a mortgage lender. When my father wanted to buy his first house, he could not get a mortgage because he was a skilled manual worker. A few months later, he could get one, because he had become a work study engineer, with the same company, which made him management, even though he took home less money.

Possibly - but they have been married for three years!

It would have been cheaper to give every inhabitant a million pounds and ask them to relocated to a Scottish island, which, at the time, is where most people in Britain probably thought the Falklands were.

If you discount the military and mineral implications, I guess so.
Well the only other option was money:-)
And if you feel that ethnic cleansing is OK.
Did he shop around? When I was looking for a mortgage, many of the larger societies wouldn't lend on this type of house (too old). And one which would, required you to have been a regular saver with them before even considering a mortgage.
I remember being marched into the local building society with my pocket money to open an account and being told that if I saved regularly with them they would give me a mortgage when I wanted to buy a house. That would have been early 70s/
That's called surrender in my dictionary. And Mrs T was not Italian.
Indeed. In many areas it's difficult to find many houses with decent sized gardens since they've all been built on to make a quick buck.
That's a sweeping statement. There are weak state schools and there are good state schools. The schools that my kids go to are *much* better than the majority of the ones I went to.
For a million quid I think I'd be willing to be ethnically cleansed to a Scottish island.
Especially now with broadband and Amazon.

Asia, Africa or South America?
They lived in the UK.
For a million quid I wouldn't need to be ethnically cleansed. Id move somewhere warm.
Like Argentina?
You implied you were already a millionaire?
Scottish Islands don't have penguins, so they'd have had to come too.
yes but I would now be worth 2million.
