    When I'm back home this Christmas and I go down the pub and I see a few people sitting there, should I cheerfully ask "So, are you renting or did you buy yet?"

    I don't even understand why it's a touchy subject. Is it some euphemism for acquiring bumsex?

    Are you one of those people that used to have two mobiles, a huge bunch of keys attached to your belt, a cup of coffee in your hand constantly, had at least two houses & used to go on holidays about five times a year?

    because people would know you were stupid enough to pay 5 times what a house should actually be worth.

    Well it seems that this was the all important question to ask perfect strangers not so long ago and when I told them that I neither rent nor bought that I lived abroad they still told me I was a sucker. I guess I was, and no 5 holidays a year for me. Couple of weekend city-breaks, that's about it.

    You don't rent and you didn't buy.

    Do you live on the streets abroad? :confused:
