    That 0.5% was caused by you putting up the rent 5% on your 33 properties last year.

    This is true, as his knowledge will be dated and he will be competing for positions with young go getters with up to the minute skills (and personalities)

    Actually I am getting too busy with SKA so I'll have a word with admin to get you a nice job of trolling CUK without risk of a ban whilst getting paid a lot to start threads that increase pageviews.

    At last I'll have a good replacement
