Benefit system to get a 10.1% pay increase

£5k in the 90s would have bought you an inhabitable and derelict house.

Those same houses now sell for close to £80k

Those same houses now sell for close to £80k

Our first house was 1990.
It cost £40k.
3 bed terrace up Harle Syke.
We spent around 10k on it doing it up putting in a new kitchen etc.
The market then took quite a big down turn in early 90s and when we moved and sold it 1994 we got the same price for it - £40k.
Now those houses go for £80k.

I do not think there were houses in burnley going for £5k in the 90s. If they were they would have been boarded up ones which were derelict and in really poor areas.

Our house price in 81 was below the average..... But still struggled..... My point is we didn't moan about it.....

Well you are certainly making up for it now, you haven't stopped moaning about how hard it was, in fact you just moan and argue about everything and anything on here.

Before you say anything, if 1958 is your year of birth then we are of the same generation, and yes the early 80's were difficult for a time but was hardly "living through the Blitz" difficult and neither will this downturn be. Having said that I wouldn't want to be a young 'un just starting out nowadays, in comparison it was easier for us to get on the housing ladder and houses/mortgages were more affordable in relation to wages which made any economical downturns more manageable.

You say a lot of your comments are sarcastic, I'd say most are bullsh!t to be fair..

Wow… apologies, I am wrong. I did remember that you could buy a house for £5k, but the £80k was wrong. Just looked again and a similar house now can be purchased for about £30k.

There are still bargains to be had! https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/129235622

I think you have made a slight error there. Not all students are guaranteed decent jobs.
And have you seen some of the degree courses?

Yes that’s true it makes a mockery of martins claims that the high enders will be turning things around fast & overtaking the low paid when a sizeable number aren’t even finding jobs in the first place.

Whoosh !!!!

He’s really running circles around everyone on this thread now.
I feel dizzy just watching.

The lack of self awareness is hilarious. He has no idea what he actually posted.

Martin P - back down. Accept defeat like a man.

I'm exactly aware of the situation & the facts are backing me up. It will take some students years to get on parity with the lost time & bouncing back from the debt onto a clean slate & I'm talking about some of the fortunate 1s.

[Big Vinny K]

You’ve still no idea what you actually posted have you ?
The gift that keeps giving.

Go back and try and decipher what you actually posted. It might take you a few hours to work it out. But at least you might appreciate what the rest of us have to cope with !

I've posted alsorts about loads of different subjects on loads of different threads so that narrows it down somewhat there's nothing like being specific.

I've had Martin in knots I think that's the only humourous part.

So let get me right as I’m a bit dizzy watching you run in circles and tying people in knots.
Do you think :
“that all the students are guaranteed decent jobs despite passing” ?

I missed not out but by all means pick me out on that I was going into a poor signal area & up against the edit clock. Yes let's all pretend students don't get into debt & after a month of college & university start to become millionaires.

Ok mistakes happen - even to the cleverest amongst us.

How about this ? Do you agree with this statement ?

“I'm saying after university the students are necessarily going to get a high end job”

Not going to, forgetting the fact that I've missed odd words out I'm sure anybody with a singular Braincell can deduce Martin's been talking a load of baloney but by all means you focus your efforts on me fast predictive texting. Nothing can escape that fact but you carry on sticking up for your barmy buddy.

[Big Vinny K]

I’m not sticking up for anyone.

I’m simply enjoying showing you up for the absolute tit of human being you are.

We can disagree, I've no problem with that, but reverting to personal abuse, says more about you, than the person you are attempting to bully

Agree it's best to stay classy that same poster previously TVC something was exposed as a troll & at some point reemerged from the woodwork.

That's spiral reincarnated back then I think both were eventually banned for talking nonsense that much toxicity was prevalent something like 30 posters completely disappeared from the forum overnight, which eventually led to certain subjects being completely banned which seems to have eased I'm guessing with the world cup & nothing on the domestic front to talk about.
