That is London. You get paid more there. Is G in London? If you rent somewhere for 1k a week and lose your job it isn't as bad as having a mortgage you can no longer afford. And he is on about a mortgage at record low interest rates. OK he is right. We should all go out and stretch ourselves...

And there is the point. 'If they have the cash' Those who put all their wages into keeping up with others are one step away from losing everything.

Especially when they don't have the massive mortgages that you say we should have to 'better ourselves'

It is people like you that plead poverty when times gi bad and it is through your own view of having to have the best of everything. So what happens to the person with a 1k a month mortgage, few hundred a month to hire a car to keep the car makers going and the debt they get into to keep the...

I live in a decent house. Why do I need the best house just to make you happy? Am mortgage free. Should I take out a 250k mortgage to get the best house in the whole area? Nothing to prove to anyone. Happy where I live. Material things mean nothing to me. Wouldn't want to be surrounded by...

Amount owed is less in France. But point out where I compared it in the slightest. Making up bullshit yet again I see.

We sold more in the UK last year. But that still isn't the full story. Our sales have been going down. Last year was the best year since 2010 in France.

What you should ask is have you ever over extended yourself on a mortgage?

Well said. Seen too many people do so then have everything come crashing down when they lose their income. Through loss of health is the worse.

Not huge to you maybe. But surprisingly enough it isn't about you. We keep seeing about average wage. Most people are on much less than the average wage. Then how many that are lucky to be in a decent wage suddenly think they are middle class si think they have to spend like they are. Work to...

So I am wrong for not wasting money? France is a totally different place. Their number plates don't say how old or new the car is. They don't go into debt constantly to have a new car. Old cars hold their value as there isn't an over supply of used cars. The wife's car now has French plates...

Reduced 50k to 25k to make a point?

Back G up as he is having a go at me. I understand. I am retiring at 55 in 3 years 2 weeks. Do you think I don't have a pension I haven't been paying into? The wife has had many years out of the workplace over the years. Always spent tume out with the kids. We could do this because we save...

My wife doesn't work. She retired last year at 52. We still have school age children. I don't say what I earn. My comprehension skills? The normal get out clause used in here these days.

He had his wife locked in the boot. You don't see a problem?

Which is what I was saying to those who said lockdown should have happened earlier. Nothing financially was in place and it isn't a quick thing to do. All those people without work would have been without work for longer So out of work and without financial help for even longer. The reality of...

50k is a huge salary for anyone who hasn't lost track of reality. Can't afford to save on 50k or more a year? Living beyond your means. Too much debt when you shouldn't need debt. If you can afford to save you should be able to live well on 2.5k a month. No need to do a Billy Big Bollocks...

Do we cut the legs off the cow then blowtorch it when it is is still alive. Then the crowd that has watched the unimaginable suffering celebrate eating the cow? Or have you missed the point?

You quoted us being as bad because some of the privileged few go fox hunting. You ignore perspective to make a point.

China and eating animals like dogs goes back to the days when it was eat what they could find. I can understand this. What I don't understand is how barbaric the death of the animal can be. How can anyone defend chopping off the legs then blowtorching a live animal whatever it is? And they do it...
