'Affordable housing' amuses me. The implication being (possibly rightly, given the ordeals people put themselves through to own a house) that everything else is 'unaffordable'.

Presumably, if they said 'cheap' it would put people off owning them...

I dislike the term "affordable housing" but i like it better than the term "social housing" which a lot of people use. I have neighbours who would gladly build a wall down the middle of the road between the "affordable housing" and them. It's horrible. I have to laugh as there are two households in my road who have caused issues in the last year or so for various neighbours and they weren't in the "affordable" section. I live in a lovely area and i have some lovely neighbours too and i don't care too hoots what house or flat they live in.

I was in the new development show office near my parents yesterday and the sales girl told me they would do a cheaper deal on one particular house because no one wanted to buy it as it was opposite a small row of "affordable houses". Dreadful attitude and yes that is the one i am looking to buy as those houses will probably be occupied by very nice people and the ars***e will probably be my 4 bed detached neighbour.

Big difference between social rented housing, shared ownership housing... and 'affordable' which can mean anything to suit the agenda of the Council and the developer's marketing advice.

I suppose you won't want any of my Wonka bar either?

But can you drink that sort of thing sitting in a string vest with a knotted handkerchief on your head stroking your whippet? No, I think

If I wore a string vest the possible scalding factor would be off the chart. I cannot take that risk...

 

[Puddles]

stroking your whippet? No, I think

Is that a another euphamism (can't spell) for Potsy "Fettling in the cupboard"

 

[Puddles]

No need to post any photos though, Puddles. Potsy's self control is wearing thin.

I might have to make a sandwich cake tonight as I now have a craving for Coffee & Walnut cake (without the walnuts else a small person won't be able to take a slice to school)

Mind wipe needed.....does Vanilla Chai do that?
