Are you some sort of cunt?Lots of people want to live here because oil companies tend to pay over the odds.
Offshore someone as dim as you could probably make about £50k for pushing a broom.

Tell me about it.I was looking into trying to buy a flat recently. I've got a decent deposit saved up but I can't afford the £15-30 grand over the asking price that isn't covered by a mortgage.
National companies (that work with big oil companies) struggle to keep staff up here because local competitors can charge less and pay staff more.

one of my friends bought a flat in Ferryhill for 70K in 1997.She just sold it at a ridiculous profit.
The BBC were reporting that property up there has done 100% growth over the last ten years and average rents for flats are a grand a month. Mental.
