FACEBOOK Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Do they not, all the young people I know would love to buy their own home. Really? I'm genuinely surprised. I've never met a young man, say between the ages of 18-25 who could care less about owning. More bothered about travelling, women and going out. Young women seem more concerned to get married and then I suppose their thoughts naturally go to property and setting up home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know many young couples trapped in rented accommodation that would love to buy an house but can't. I also know many that have given up on having a family and home so have decided to enjoy life whilst it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Do they not, all the young people I know would love to buy their own home.of the ones I know they say they would love to own their own home and bemoan the fact that they don't, but actually give priority to having that new trendy car, latest iphone, etc etc Guess that means they are not deadly serious in what they are saying.

Don't have much faith in then as they've been only about 300 samples. ........ My post was in response to someone asking about the results from the survey upon which the news articles were based. That survey (see the earlier link) was conducted in 2011 and the results are based upon 161,400 responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be the lucky ones if they can still afford the new trendy car and latest iphone after paying the rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichJay Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Amazingly it says I'm "Financially insecure" just because I choose to rent, but clicked the £25K-£50K savings box, and know people who are cleaners. I got the same result. It's a pretty stupid definition of financially insecure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Just tried the 20 minute quiz on the BBC it clears some issues up, but confuses some issues (i.e. you get more class points if you prfer indie music over electronica) Try it here: https://ssl.bbc.co.uk/labuk/experiments/class/ And you even get your own coat of arms for completing it!

cuttsie Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 What is it with this tea and biscuits stuff. That's twice now people have moaned they didn't receive teas and biscuits. i never supply tea and biscuits, are those who do jobs for me calling me names behind my back then? Can't believe this! I'm giving them two weeks to a months work and they are calling me because I don't provide refreshments. Would cost a fortune to do that every day they are on the job. Ungrateful sods. Try working on a scaffold in December, January, February etc for 8 hours a day while the silly twit up Whirlo tells you that no she [he] cannot mash a cupa for you or let you use the toilet etc. In these situations the lads find other ways of getting their own back. So enjoy your coffee mornings I hope the water tastes nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
