And what does the guy's race have to do with him being an alcoholic?
Anyway, it's a big deal- it sounds like they worked for what they wanted (always something to encourage), thought they had it in their grasp and are now having to work even harder to keep hold of it.

And even moreso he doesn't sound too cuntish when he's saying it.

"rented-3-bedroom-semi-in-Sussex" is luxury compared to what most of the world's populationg live in anyway. I mean there's a taxpayer-funded school just 'round the corner! Hell, I'm in a heavily (though affordably) mortgaged 1-bedroom flat in a crap bit of Aberdeen. A 3-bed, rented or otherwise, would be a huge step up for me!

Equally, I'm on a decent salary with decent increases and bought a flat and a car within a year of starting full-time work, so I should make that huge step in not too much time!

Can everyone please quit it with the "I'm poorer and hence holier than thou" "Ooohh, check you with yer "hence" words! posh git!" attitude.
