STP, Traf said his nephew purchased in a "suburb" of London. As you well know, prices would vary greatly from inner London to a far outer suburb. I think Trafs' point was very valid. It's a darn sight more likely a 25 yrd old can afford a house/home in or around London than the impossibility of doing so in HK, which I believe WAS his point. Regardless, Rexbanner doesn't have ANY facts at hand regarding his nephew, so personally questioning Traf's comments seemed a bit out of order. And Rexbanner mentions his location as Botswana, so Traf's comment is at least based on a fact provided by Rex.
