what on earth are you on about anyone who grew up in the 60 70 etc have had cheap houses

Only a limited few lived in private houses on the posh estate when I was at secondary modern. As second generation to my “new town pioneer” parents, I did have the benefit of a council house though which I later bought but, hey, I didn’t make the rules just took advantage of them. When I applied for my first mortgage, I had to wait 3 months for an interview with the bank manager who turned me down as did two others before I was finally accepted into an endowment scheme (one policy I’m still paying for) which was my only alternative; for this privilege I had to pay interest in double figures.

have final salary pensions what do i get 200k plus house to pay for a pension not worth talking about,

But the majority have paid up to 10% of their salary for up to 40 years to get it. I do have a lot of sympathy for those now in difficult situations with pensions & I don’t have a solution but it’s Brown you need to thank for killing that one off for you; I just bought into the prevailing system, are you saying you wouldn’t have! Where you live & how much you pay is dictated by how much you earn & that is dictated by how much effort you put in, how long & how hard you graft.

so dont make out he has had it hard the young 20 year olds of today have got it very very hard.

Most 20 years olds probably haven’t been sober for long enough to know what hard is; I admit I had a good time at that age but didn’t have anywhere near the disposable income they have now. My parents had diddly squat; a coal fire, no TV till I was 10, no phone, no car & 1 weeks holiday a year in a grotty Clacton B&B. They could not afford to support me beyond school & I had to go out & get a job, hold that down, pay rent & pay for my own on-going academic education; no bloody grants or even loans when I did it. Kids (& I’ve had/got them) get far more & have it far easier than I ever did. I’ve never begrudged them of it & am still paying but nobody owes them a living. They should be grateful for what their parents have done & in many cases are still doing for them, not laying blame for their perceived problems. If you want it, stop whinging, get out there & make it happen the same way the rest of us did.

Get your money out and pay your dues

You sure as hell are not paying them now are you

Warmfront, cen, coldbusters, Installed on all of these. Most of the c*nts that get these grants should not f*cking be

Cant afford it, sell your house or get a job, or if its a rental property to sum bum that the tax payer pays for sell it.

I doubt itNever done a job where cash was involved All declaredNever fitted a boiler for anyone under the Gov scrappage scheme, designed not for Green lobby, but for the Heating Industry..£3-400 Grant towards new boiler".Man know thyself".This isn,t the first time you have had a dig at me and other OAP,s Remember, I do.You appear to have a OAP problem, you won,t when you become one.

Hi check my thread out. I applied for the grant and guess what...i got the vaillant they promised me in the first place. bit of a fight but got there in the end. if you'd like some advice send me a message.

And take no notice of the some of the regular jokers on here. I shot the likes of lawrance et al down in my thread . If they're still moaning then my guess is being an tw*t must be in fashion where they're from.
