Did I really read in post 138 that someone has said that it is the normal route to borrow money against your parents house!!!!!!!!!!
Normal route????
What you mean to say is that your parents have lent/given you the money and in order to do so they have remortgaged their house!
May i suggest this is by far from the norm, there is no norm in flying and if you think that this is the norm perhaps one of the previous posters was correct and take that silver sppon out of your mouth!
i am also with many previous posters that it is a great achievement to do what he has done but virtually he will be on his own at having life so easy. There are so many people who have achieved so much more.. I am not taking away from what he has done or achieved but are we getting into the habit of praising all who are so lucky.
No one is slating him as we all would have taken dads money and dads job so he has no need to feel bad. But those of you that think it is exceptional may I suggest that you get a serious reality check.
