No cheap mortgage payments for me.

Hooray for the buy-to-letters not finding it so easy though. I remember when we were looking for our first place to buy and every one we saw for ages had been already bought by Sara and Tarquin from fucking Islington or wherever.

^this

Last summer everyone was saying "Get a fixed-rate mortgage, get fixed-rate energy tariffs" ... so we did.

Now all the variable rates and variable tariffs are down, and we're still paying the same fucking rates for the next 5 years.

Daily Mail reading OAP's who emigrated to Spain

while the pound was strong against the Euro laughing in the faces of people stupid enough to stay in "Bloody" Britain whilst swanning around the Costa's ruining the Spanish building industry with their high disposable incomes and bragging to their stay-at-home friends and family that they could buy a cup of tea for 3p.

Thanks to the collapse of Sterling, they now can't afford to buy a loaf of bread on the state pension and their luxury apartments with swimming pools are worth fuck all, which means they can't return "home".
