Can I request the moderators to please step in and close this topic off.

This is getting a bit heated and personal now. Surely a public forum is not the right place for duels :). Can the individuals please carry on with this (if they want to) outside this forum?

Well, if I dont buy a house then I have definitely lost the 42000 pounds for sure as pure rent. If I did buy a house, even taking into consideration of the worst ...
