abelly Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The couple who live in her parents flat above her shop, Charlotte. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the cafe where you turn left of the moor, near Zing vaa. Anyone else know where I mean & agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_S_83 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I asked why she needed more kids, why would there even be a reason behind that? Is there any need for a hissy fit? What immigration high horse? I'm asking why waiting lists are even necessary. Why? Because scamming <removed> are renting houses whilst owning houses and making ££££ off the rent they receive for letting these out, people are selling houses they own and taking council houses, people are coming into the country/city from different places with immigration or moving with work or whatever, people are buying council houses they have lived in and there doesn't seem to be much replacement of all of these , 99% of the houses advertised are 'priority applicants only' and in this day and age, unless you receive money from inheritance, a win, are from a well off family or have savings there is pretty much no chance of ownign your own house so many rely on council housing and unless you breed and qualify for bigger places or come into the country or city in need of priority housing, you are just left to wait for years on end while all the properties get taken by the above people mentioned or bought up and not replaced!

That's pretty insulting to those who work hard to earn the money to own a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone who works hard can rent, pay bills and save £10k+ for a house though, can they? Maybe if you live at home or have such a high paying job that you can rent and save but in lots of cases, unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if you live at home or have such a hig paying job that you can rent and save but in lots of cases, unlikely. I don't remember saying everyone. Many people can afford a house not simply based on the lucky situations you outline but because they work hard for it. I just think it's a bit rude to assume that nearly everyone who owns a house is in some way privileged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allallyouyou Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The majority of the people on the show did not work and did not appear to be bothered about the fact. There is always some job that can be done and yes sometimes you have to swallow your pride in life and do jobs others wont do but as long as it pays. The moral to this is "Never rely on anyone but yourself" Days of council house hand outs was over a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's a bit rude to assume that nearly everyone who owns a house is in some way privileged. No you misunderstand me... these days, with the housing market and all, large deposits are needed and unless you are in one of the situations I mentioned, it's pretty hard to save a deposit. A woman I worked with only got her house because 2 grandparents had passed away within a few months of each other and left her money, which is sad, and saddens me as I don't want to have to rely on money I may get when my loved ones die but unless I earn twice as much as I will be doing when I qualify, there is no hope of me being able to afford to save for a deposit to get out of council housing, whilst also renting and paying the bills that comes with it. Do you understand me now? I am not talking about people who already own as the housing market has changed so much and yes, some own purely as they saved (but deposits and houses were cheaper a few years ago!).. I am on about being able to buy NOW, in the current climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you understand me now? I don't misunderstand you at all as it happens. Maybe you're reading my posts wrong? I know exactly how buying a house works, I'm saying, people can afford it. Many people can still afford to own their own home, you seem to be assuming everyone is in your situation. My point is, that's pretty rude. Using yourself as an example, you've saved for a wedding have you not? That can't be cheap yet you managed that. Surely that's the same as saving for a deposit?
