    So he's going down well in history?
    Quite, he lost the most important referendum in British history, the one which would have finally shut your lot up permanently...

    And now this... higher education is obviously wasted on them when they are without the intelligence to understand the riches already bequeathed to them. How sad. I'd be ashamed to approach my parents with such a thought had the same predicament come to my attention.
    Like i said, - he'd sell his grannie for two bob

    I recently learned from my grandparents that when I was younger they gave my parents several thousand pounds intended to be the start of long-term savings for myself.

    My parents have never mentioned the money to me. I'm now 19 and studying at university, so need all funds available.

    My parents have in the past battled with debts, which is where I think the money has gone. Although they are now financially more secure, they still have a mortgage and other financial commitments.

    Should I bring it up with them, or ask my grandparents to? Or should I just accept that I must write this money off?"

    Looks like the Telegraph is on fire:

    Ask an expert: can David Cameron avoid the £213,750 stamp duty on his £2m Cornish holiday home?
