Is Stockton on Tees a ****hole?

I see you are still claiming if people can’t manage these days it’s because they are lazy.

You refuse to accept the facts: people can’t afford to live no matter how much they earn

Please stop being so narrow minded

So, you seem to be suggesting you are in a similar, comfortable position to me, in which case why are you not helping out some of those much less fortunate people that you seem to have so much sympathy for. Give some of them a room in your comfortable home, donate some of your hard-earned to the less fortunate.

Can I have some work experience..

Interns don't get paid. They are just slaves. Even if they do get paid, they are still lowly slaves and don't have a enough to live on in a university city. Not even close.

Thatcher sold off council housing so striking workers would have a lodestone round their necks and think twice before they went on strike.

good fortune

Glad that you're finally recognising the fact that it's not all down to your (unique, in your opinion) work ethic

You're wasting your time, Notch.

Hard work was invented by Harry and Mottie, and it'll die with them too

Nothing unique about my work ethic, corporal, many (had to have) had the same ethic back in the day, to survive and prosper.

back in the day,

.... when you got a house for half the market value.

My business, what we paid. How much did you pay for your home corp?

 

[JohnD]

My business, what we paid.

And yet you blame young people, who will never receive a windfall giveaway like you, because housing is too expensive for them.

 

[JohnD]

you seem to have so much sympathy for.

Where's your sympathy?

Missing the point and diverting

 

[Harry Bloomfield]

Where's your sympathy?

The same place as yours, which are just words..

But you blame people having a hard time and claim its their fault.

My business, what we paid. How much did you pay for your home corp?

£52k for house 1, mid-90's. It was a busy market at the time, and stuff was going like hotcakes.

£220k for house 2, early 2000s. As above. Leap in, or lose. Within months of paying that one off outright.

Current house - post-divorce - more again. Gone from mortgage-free, to having to work until I die (and possibly longer ). Them's the breaks.


I've never had a state-sponsored house, an inheritance, or a windfall.

So then, not all that much more than we paid, back in the day.
