Yeah, paying your way just like the farking Queen [pfffff]

why would you care? I grew up ina council house. My mum lives ina council bungalow. Anyone who sneers is an up your own arse snob.

I've already said that we are HA, we are shared ownership and pay £392 per month in mortgage (yay for the tracker) and pay £498 in rent. That is for a 2 bed flat. No one helps us, so for that it is completely unreasonable for you tro think for a single second that HA is subsidised but if you want to pay twice as much for the same thing as everyone else, more fool you. You clearly have more money than sense IMO.

so i will ask again,

if i was upset that someone thought i was living on benefits when i wasn't that would be different would it?

funny how people on here are always telling others get get some pride and respect and get off benefits then isn't it?

and if you want to say people on here do not judge people on benfits your fucking liar

so being subsidised is what? bad? We are on benefits. dd will be on benefits her whole life. So fucking what.

nmc talks sense

Oh and the rent is for 60% of property as own 40%.
But does this mean that I am one better than tose in council houses or bedsits? No of course it doesn't.

wow are you a teen as you swear like my teen son.

'if i was upset that someone thought i was living on benefits when i wasn't that would be different would it?'

I'd say you were over-sensitive and a snob. who cares if someone thinks you are on benefits. do you really get upset by what peple think?

Our first house was an ex-council house, it was far bigger than anything else we could afford at the time(though still desperately tiny 2 bed semi)
Whilst it shouldn't matter whether you live in ex-council, housing association or whatever,the fact is that people can be a bit snobby about it, it affects property values to the extent that it was mentioned on our valuation survey as a negative point!

Therefore I sympathise with OP, her cousin made an insensitive comment, implying her house was less desirable.

no i don't normally swear on here but enough peple are swearing at me so fuck it.
i'll give them some back.

Who really gives a fuck damn who's on benefits? I don't care if people assume I am or not. In all seriousness, I'd be better off financially on benefits......
Why do you care what other people think? Why would you justify yourself to people who you don't know (like on here) ?

why would you be upset if someone thought you were on benefits?

do ou think people on benefits smell and wear 2nd hand clothing?

....I have framed and deleted a number of replies that entertained me, but were a little, er, uncharitable in tone.

...rejected phrases include:

'paying over the odds by choice'

'boxy little house'

'Northampton'

....so I scotched the lot as it is a bit of an easy target.

That said, cheap shots can still be funny....

but why would it bother her jemart? People could say my house is a tip (it is) and I really wouldn't give a fart.

I can smell a troll to be honest .

So, correct me if i am wrong but you are saying

1. Why should people have subsidised housing?

and 2. Why should you live in a house which (and well it does if that example is anything to go by) look like something on a HA or council estate?

Two replies then

1. I am glad you are lucky enough to be able to "pay your way" and live in unsubsidised housing when thousands of key workers (teachers, nurses etc) can't afford to do so? FWIW, we have a huge mortgage but are being "subsidised" by Tax credits just now - So what? We have paid our taxes and NI, isnt that what they are for?

1. You are making yourself appear particularly obtuse (that means stupid!) - if you don't like living in a house that looks HAish MOVE!! my God!!

no LEM, she's a regular

yet anther benefit thread

Um, all new housing developments have to include an element of "social" housing, and these houses or flats look, architecturally, the same as the rest of the development they are on. Am spectacularly failing to see the OP's point. How can a modern house "look" HA?

so, cos some poeple on a parenting forum are mean about some people on benefits, you are scared that people might think your house is HA and therefore you might be on benefits???
Honestly, why on earth would you care?

Spotty, weren't you the one who was shocked and appalled that the government wouldn't pay for childcare for you to go back to work even though you can afford it yourself? I am sure it was you. If so, you didn't mind the idea of looking subsidised then...

I thought the house looked like a boring Barrats box myself. My council house looked nothing like that at all!
