Totally agree on the British side of things.

But im amazed how many Phills are up to their eyes in hock as well. A few years back found a website where you can find all the land, houses and bussiness that the bank own due to people defaulting. When i checked the local area of my missus most of those had the orignal owners in them i guess living there untill someone takes them over?
