Re: The Property Ladder
 

an interesting slant on the property ladder was provided by panorama this week,i have always been an homeowner, but am seriously re-thinking, old folk(homeowners) who need to go into care homes, had to pay £420 per week in the example given, then if they couldn,t pay ie ran out of money,they had to sell their homes to pay for the care, most old folk i know intend to leave their homes to the kids etc, in this scenario there will be next to sod all left if they don,t pop their clogs pronto! this has already happened to a good friend of ours in blackpool, so its not speculation, she was left with about 25% of what the property was sold for. whereas those who rent properties and have little savings the care is paid ( in the same home) £360 per week by the council, what the hells going on here? best in bricks @ mortor? i dont think so any more!:mad:

[QUOTE=jambutty[FONT=Times New Roman]Well I’ll be hornswaggled – I HAVE used the dollar sign haven’t I. But I did use the pound sign once. Come on! That has to be worth something? Can I plead insanity, old age, carelessness? I’ve put it right now. Much obliged for pointing it out lettie.[/FONT]

lettie deserves something, give her some karma - - but don't I get just a little credit jambutty?? I must remember to spell it out for you next time you make an error :p

Re: The Property Ladder
 

I keep forgetting about this Karma thing. Sorry people! (Ties knot in neck to remind me)

The system won’t let me give you some Karma lettie. Apparently I have to spread it around before I can give you some more but you got some Busman 747.
