crazy british houses!

Started by matthew in Chit-Chat

All I gotta say is the house sizes in the UK compared to the US make me sick. I mean jeez the americans are so lucky man, their kitchens are huge and you guys cant store shit in your kitchens in great britain. Your house prices are through the roof too. Why is that so dudes and dudettes?
My house in South Africa cost 350000 rand and my grandfather’s house in the uk cost 1500000 or somewhere there and his house was pathetic. I think the only thing cheap in the UK is cars right. Can you give me the price of a Renault Clio there? Here they are 15000 pounds abouts.
They came out ages ago in your country before they came out where I live. Cool. Computer prices any good? Your musical equipment reasonable there?
Thanks guys.

EVERYTHING over here in the UK is overpriced.

As a wannabe-first-time-buyer, at present I haven’t a hope in Hell of getting on the property ladder here.

“Rip-off Britain” is what the press calls it ,and they are spot on.

:mad:

All the best to you, just make sure you post the address on WoM and get plenty of beers in for the house-warming :D

Well each country has it’s own problems, my country is apparently the crime capital of the world, we have 51 murders a day here. And when a cop dies it isnt putin the news because it’s so unimportant compared to you guys. I meanit happens all the time, cops in my country commit suicide all the time here. Constantly. Wish I could warm up that house with you bro!

Trust me..we’re not that lucky. Housing now is SO over-priced. A normal one family house which used to go for $100k now goes for $500k. Or you can buy one of our McMansions. They now stick these big houses so close together they might as well be row houses.

I’m going to have to inherit if I ever want to own a house..unless I move to the mid-west. But then I’d be in the mid-west so it’s not much of a trade-up.
