I still don't think that its a council house!!! The rent is £1500 a month, that is too high for a council or Ha house...

Our HA flat is worth about £180K. No right to buy on HA flats here, though. In fact, right to buy had to be suspended here for current council tenants and abolished for new council tenants.

Because there is a severe shortage of affordable housing to rent now.

Guess the solution is to give the kids a lighter and tell them to do the business.

The council bought it, Sparkly, to house them in.

I know someone who has recently paid of his mortgage on his home, but he hasn't worked for over 20 years due to his nerves , and his mortgage has been paid for him, as have home imporovments. He is in his early 50's and mortgage free.

My dad is 61 and worked from 14 to 57 when he had to retire due to ill health. He doesn't finnish paying his mortgage off until next year.

These people cant go on holiday.

but why is the rent so high if the council brought it..??

Christ, what goes through the mind of someone who calls their child kalifornya?

"Let's name it after that place wot we last went on 'oliday at the expense of the taxpayer, Smanfer."

"Nah, Cawwwl, Butlins Gillespie would sahnd daft, wunnit?"

"Nah, yer daft bint, I mean that place in America"

"ooooh, nice, I like it, but can we spell it different like to make it more exotic?"

Surprised they didn't put an "accent" on it.

No idea, Sparkly.

I can't go on holiday either, but then I don't expect to be able to when I am not working. Infact I don't expect to be able to when I am working.

Their latest home, formerly a hotel, is estimated to have cost £350,000 to buy and a further £150,000 to renovate with double-glazing, carpets, central heating and furniture

Doesn't say it was brought by the council, could be a private let who let to the council

Unless the council supplies them with a private jet.

PMSL, UD.

When I read your first line, '. . . what goes through the mind of someone who calls their child kalifornya?', my first thought was, 'Not much.'

Obviously enough to be virtuosos of abusing the system, though.

Unquiet dad, surely school is for people who want to work

...and just in case you missed it the first time, if she's looking after all the children without any of them helping then she's just raising a brood of incapable adults...blimey even a young child can switch on a washing machine, hang out washing, make their own bed and shock horror learn how to feed themelves.

I suppose both parents could go and work full time if they get the oldest ones to stay at home and look after the younger ones.

I was joking about the names. On second reading they're ok - just the parris-jordan one that stuck out. Must have been reading Hello magazine that day.

maybe they ought to send Parris-Jordan and Kesla-Storme and Kaliforrryyynaaaa-Chelise and whatever the hell else they are called down't pit to earn their keep.

Kesla-Blu and Californya win my vote.

Got to go to bed!

its not bad - but why is it good enough? thats the question.

why is it good enough that your son with probably very little education goes off to the army - becuase...well... he has fuck all else by way of any job prospects.

your kids would i take it...as a career at 16?

you would let your 16 year old son would you get trained up to die?

but yes...yes...lets envy them

lets envy them the fact that they have nothing, willprobably always have nothing and their children will have nothing and without extraordinary talent probably will see raising babies as a way to survive.

yes lets envy that they will never have a career, their children not likley to have a career over 7ph full time salaried.

lets envy them the fact they have nothing for their retirement. no house to sell, no pension in place.

grief. pity maybe definatley sorrow - that another generation of children will grow up to think that that way of life is good enough.
but envy?

oh no.

As you can tell I am now taking this slightly less than seriously.

'Must have been reading Hello magazine that day. '

Erm, more like watching daytime TV.

Magazines imply . . . erm, reading.

I wonder if the eldest wants to join the army for some comparative privacy and peace and quiet?

Maybe he just wanted a smoke-free work space, aloha .

They'll have their own TV series within 2 months.

Maybe it'll work like Big Brother where the public can vote out the most irritating child each week?

Oh, no, UD, they're prime candidates for 'Extreme Holiday Showdown'.

The producers are probably texting them now.

She'll appear on Wife Swap with the mother of an only child.

ahh the rotten fruit is being thrown.
