An ex friend of mine, purchased a property with their then partner, a few decades ago. The partner got cold feet and pulled out of the deal. My ex friend paid them off of the mortgage. A minimal amount, even back then. A few years past and property prices increased steadily. The ex friend sold the property for a handsome profit and invested in another property. Now that property is worth almost 3 times the mortgage, which is almost paid off. I call that poetic justice. It saddens me to hear of all the trouble in the property market these days.

It's a fascinating scene because there are plenty of working class families out there like this. Some in the family are entrepreneurial and see themselves with the suits, cufflinks, country estate and driving a Rolls Royce and there are others in the family who are content with living on the breadline.

It's true what Rodney says... Over a 100 years ago my entire road was built as affordable council housing... that's over 300 homes. When we move in a couple of decades ago, only a quarter were private. Today only a quarter are "affordable council housing"... the rest have all been sold to private owners and ALL owners of which are not from the area with most not even from the country. ZERO affordable or council housing has been built anywhere nearby. And no, what Delboy says is not accurate... you would have to pay rent in such a place for decades just to cover the deposit.

This sketch is not only funny but true! I live in South London and the gentrification is worse than ever! No locals can afford properties in the area they were born in! And it is made worse by Right to Buy properties that have been sold for huge amounts of profit to outsiders.These properties are then no longer affordable to rent or buy by the average wage earners.Sad isn't it?!!

The A23 road runs through Brixton and Streatham nearby, becoming the M23 near its junction with the M25. I don't think you'd make it from Peckham in 15 minutes though- and the South Circular isn't of course a motorway. Like most of Del's sales patter, it didn't bear much resemblance to the truth.
