General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Hiya Never, When I was looking to private rent during my divorce, rather than face being homeless I had a similar prejudice cos I was a single mum of 2 kids.I saw the perfect house, in Ashton.Popped into the estate agents as soon as they knew I was on my own, they said the owner only wanted a 'professional', I said I am a professional mum and I want to see that house.
The appointment was made and I didn't turn up, had decided to try buy ex out.
The guy showing me the house was the estate agent manager and he foned me,so I told him why I hadn't turned up, and that I was disgusted at his staffs attitude. I also pointed out that if my marital home was sold, I could've paid rent up front for the next 20 years!
He said he'd review the situation, bet he didn't though.
By the way I was raised all my life on a council estate.It did me no harm at all, and the one I was raised on certainly made me street wise.Yet I travelled, lived abroad, own my own house, work hard etc etc. My brother is a managing director of a huge company , he went to uni got a degree or two, yet he was raised there.
If kids want to get ahead they will, no matter where they are raised.Beauty of me being raised where I was is this>>I take no crap from anyone.I made my own way in life. I did ok too.
