    It may change in the next 20 years as so many people divorce. Our elderly are still of the generation where they stay together and the bloke was the bread winner and his mrs looked after him. They stop eating washing and cleaning.

    All the time mate. And ones where they go into care homes. They’re the worst as the family just watch their inheritance disappear.

    They can sometimes be nasty too when there are a lot of beneficiaries.

    ****ing probates are the worst. They think they’ve won the lottery, finally he/she has died, we get our pay out now despite ignoring him/her for a decade. Then one of them wants too much money as it’s the pay out they’ve been waiting for. So it goes to auction and they get less as they’ve shrunk their own market.

    Yep. They’re the ones with a few beneficiaries.. I’m usually very good in those situations. As am very good at what I do.

    You encountered the modern auction yet?

    Had a look. To be honest don’t really get it, don’t see why anyone would get involved and don’t see many sales.

    This lot, who appear to be based in the NE, get a few instructions from agents local to me. I’d rather knock on the door as I know the market a lot better than them regardless of what software they may have.

    Modern auction can be good on houses that are **** but mortgageable.

    Normal auctions are a limited audience.

    It works well on cheap do ups. Anything upward of £200k they struggle. As the buyer pays 2% on top to buy it.

    One of my great aunts killed herself that way. Remember my mum saying to me “She must have been very unhappy as she did it when the tide was out”!

    I did a piece on euthanasia in school and it opened my eyes, I came out on the side of the right to die after looking at all aspects of what is a difficult decision.

    It's the religious tossers in this country that are still blocking the path to having the right to die.

    You’re so deluded if you think tax avoidance would be fixed by that useless foreskin.

    It shows the sort of world you live in mate if you think it’s that cut and dry.

    Dunno about fixed. But he’d at least address the most obvious of it. Which is better than the absolutely **** all that the Tories do about it.

    Don’t know where you read that mate but it’s way off. The foreign aid budget is about £13bn, the welfare budget is around £75bn.

    There’s an argument for spending less in aid I agree, but again, £119bn that goes unpaid in tax avoidance. Why don’t they try and recover some of that first ?

    It's the Athiests that call the shots at the end of the day and sign everything off

    True that mate. We are a secular state, so legislation isn’t built on religious doctrine. Although I think the CoE have quite a bit of political influence.

    On another subject, I was listening to a programme on radio 4 yesterday about Islam and organ donation, the common theme was that there was a fatwa on it, but plenty of Muslims scholars were for it and lots of Muslims had both donated and received organs.

    I thought one woman summed it up well after her son donated organs after her death, she said that whilst Islam was against the desecration of the deceased body, it also says that one life saved is like saving the whole community. She gave the analogy that the not only the donor, but their whole family had been saved by her son donating his organs

    Don't know about that there's still a lot of power sitting with the church.

    I believe if the Church had any meaningful say in any legislation then we would still be chasing ****s down the street legit...instead now I have to pretend I care if my kid can't figure out if he's a boy or girl when really all he needs is a good slap and less perverse options for his little un developed brain to ponder over.

    I’m not getting into a political debate but I disagree completely.

    Fair enough mate. We probably sit on opposite sides of the political spectrum on this.

    Mate I don’t particularly align myself with Tory or Labour, but I do know when you have £1.8Tn debt, you don’t recover £119bn in taxes and attribute all/most of it to the NHS.
