"If renting was properly regulated and the rights of the renter were protected it would be a viable option but in the UK they are not. Who the hell would want to raise a family in a home where the landlord has the right to turf you out at a whim with 3 months notice or change the rent at his own discretion?" Yup.

Interestingly, people have answered this question with a list of places surely the "heart" should be its residents ?

foxtons scum. But you cant blame them I suppsoe - there are enought property = success obsessed people out there who are happy to spend their days grazing the EA windpws and giving themlseves a self congratulatory pat of the back for their unrealised proprty profit.Foxtons are leeches, but they dont operate in a vacuum. The constant drip of Property porn that pervades our every waking moment has sucked most of the population in. Look around - howe many single people with huge wads of equity slopping around are really happy ? Cash isnt as substitute for love and relationships - Howe many relatively high earning, well educated people do you knoe that are single & despite the bravado, are using Their jobs and their property as a diversion to stop them thinking about how pointless their lives actually are? People will realise - sooner or later - that you can never have enough money - you can never say -" thats it " - few retire at 40 to travel the world, despite the wine fulled pap that we hear most nights in the bars of the trendy Lordhsip lane - you buy a better class of wage slavery, a more comfortable place to be unsatisfied in, more baubles to hide trhe dissatisfaction with your cul de sac life but most are still trapped in the vicious vortex of accumulation, but to what End ?

dont add it to the bill onj C/C, leave cash on the table for the staff - if they dont have the sense to pocket this or the proceed to hand it over to their bosses voluntarily, then I dont really have much symphay to be honest. There may be aspects we are not aware of - eg the staff in question may be working black or may be on student visas etc that allow residence but not employment - then the boss can do whatever he wants within reason.

Childish or not, they are scum. Along with door to door geordie bogus fish salseman, they are at the bottom of the sales pile - no expertise, no idea of the product they are selling a apart from what their boss has told them to value it at, few vocational qualifications - scum.

The merest sniff or Hornby/Parsons/Pearson and that lot make me retch

Foxtons are scum - but then again, the whole EA industry are scum

" think it would be marvellous. Have you seen High Fidelity, James? They start off small, get a up and coming musician to do an intimate gig, word spreads, smaller bands play one-off shows, then a big name hears about it and agrees to do a charity show, then it spreads and before long Bruce Springstein is performing in a coffee shop cum record store in East Dulwich in front of 50 fans and forum-ites. " Oh dear. I think I would prefer an estate agents. or a Starbucks...

One pionter - if you do decide to go with an allotment - then please please please use it - the reality vs. the ideal of having this little plot and the work it requires sometimes doesnt come into the pretty little heads of many new allotmenters - dont deprive someone else of these scarce rescources unless your are 100% sure its for you.

the Yoot have done those scummers Haart a hadful of time - that huge expanse of plate glass is cries out for some illegible scrawling. Its a shame that the Yoot dont politicise their energy and glue up a few locks or write something that makes you think.

Scum. Verbose, greedy, Stupid, shouty vermin. every single one of them. They exist in cartel to keep themsleves in the money and to exclude interlopers. Every horrible baord they erect should be registered and taxed heavily by the local authority. Their nasty vulgar cars should be made to pay extra for parking on LL or environs.
