Owning your own home

meh. I think my friend is pretty nice. they weren't being a snob. just wanting a posher house than they can afford.

of course it isn't the only problem. there is a real problem with supply of ordinary housing and buy-to-let too. I'm going to stop now before I make myself sound like even more of a twat.

You don't sound like a twat, but your pal kinda does; whining that people in inferior jobs to them are stopping them buying the nice house they deserve for being clever.
