Don't make it personal pal. I'm no snob, you know my working background. I worked hard all my life, saved and planned well and are reaping the benefits. As for my family they are all very hard working and have chose to better themselves by the choice of lifestyle they have and the homes they own.
I have been several times to the pub up there (I can’t remember the name) and vaguely know the shops you mean. I didn’t notice any vandalism - must have been their day off?
Anyway, I have got carried away and posted more than I have in years - apologies.
Logging back off.
