Well tell me ary,would you pay that , .it sounds like you would , so could you send difference from what you pay to 18k , to the RNLI.
Not only would I not afford to pay that, I couldn't afford to pay that. Other things I would like and can't afford:

A Bentley
First class air travel
A Benetti
A Patek Phillipe watch
A suite at the Savoy
A holiday home in Palma

But I don't accuse those selling/renting them of 'taking the piss' just because I can't afford them because clearly there are people who can and do.

Now answer my question please - you've moved to the city, no longer need your car and decide to get a pushbike instead. Your car is worth (say) about £20,000, the bike you are buying is £500. Would you sell your car for £500 as that is all you need, or for as much as you can get? :)

Aree, first point of your question what idiot would move into a city ! So I would be buying a car for when I move out of the city, now this is what I did recently I new the model I wanted checked all prices and conditions then made my decision which one I liked for a fair price. If you want to buy it at 35% above average price, you will now own an f type. WHEN ARE YOU COMING FOR IT .

Restaurants, cafés, cinemas, live music, clubs, lovely parks, art (and other) exhibitions, loads of potential friends, pubs, public transport, libraries, second hand bookshops, museums, theatre, clubs, cycling groups, swimming groups, sailings groups (basically a group for every possible interest), open minded culture, Banksy, festivals, fetes, allotments, strolling, sports to watch & play of every kind .....

Yes, can't really think of a reason!😀

So you can't answer the question. Well, I think you just have done so by refusing to.

Hopefully you can at least now understand that wanting the most you can get for something is pretty normal behaviour, rather than 'taking the pizz', even for you. :)

Yes, the Bristol beer is very dear to my heart - although if you were implying expensive, us city dwellers are so much more wealthy than our country cousins that it matters not a jot. (We are also better looking and more intelligent, but that's by the by 😀).

As for violence, I actually look forward to my daily knifing now. 😀

I do rather like a Banksy though - but I've never seen a bit paint destroy a building - do you build 'em particularly poorly in your neck of the woods.

From your rather lurid description, I have to ask, have you ever actually been to a city?
