    Now please stop, I'm getting that deep belly laugh that means the afternoon will be a write off.

    Robbie Fowler is the only man that can help you now.

    Mrs sadguru took my virginity a long long time ago .

    I give her 3/10 for looks 4/10 for effort but 10/10 for discretion .

    Q. How do you make houses "affordable", without dropping house prices (creating negative equity and risking bank balance sheets).

    A.



    Suddenly everyone has the house deposit they need.

    The price couldn't very well increase because the stamp duty threshold was £125k at the time.
    well generally you make some kind of profit unless you paid vastly too much or bought in a bad area.

    take away mortgage fees estate agents cost and it would be a lose , i guess the flip side is you have not paid some parasites mortgage for them.
    so probably works out better.

    That's puzzled me for nearly a decade, because I thought they were just a set of fwking cheeky kuntz. Now it's become clear - they were thinking of selling at a loss too so they could help those unfortunate enough to be younger than them

    Thanks MM

    Oh - looks like they did too. According to Rightmove:
    - June 2007: Sold for £125k
    - October 2014: Sold for £124k

    Aren't they generous
