Don't be a pillock. What's the use of rising house prices when you need to live in the house? Would you like me to donate the front room? You don't half type some crap at times. How much have you donated?Where is the insult Alan ? All I'm saying is you've probably done very well out of rising house prices (like everyone else) over the course of your lifetime - - free of tax. Is giving a little back too much to ask ?
