Lies that went on too longWhen you lie you often have to keep lying. Share your pain. When I was 15 I pretended to be 16 to help get a summer job. Then had to spend a summer with this nice shopkeeper asking me everyday if I was excited about getting my GCSE results. I felt like an utter shit. Thanks to MerseyMal for the suggestion.

I was talking to my sister about this the other day.I feel that people who say, 'Fifty years ago, if you were in full time employment, you could buy a house, but now you have no chance' have failed to take the difference in life style into account.
What I mean is, if you got rid or had never bought your phone, computer, washing machine, TV, internet connection, stereo, DVD's, CD's, foreign holidays, DVD player, imported and processed food ect. you probably could have a house.

Dunno - seems likeHouses 50 years ago really weren't as valued as they are now.
I have heard on more than one occasion about people buying houses with a carrier bag full of fivers in the 1950s.
I'm pretty sure they weren't paying the inflation adjusted equivalent of what we do now.
