Renting Rears It Less Ugly Head

My aversion to mortgages just won't go away. And with so little choice out there, and such very high interest rates, I'm seriously considering abandoning my plans to get a mortgage and to rent for a while. I point blank refuse to pay 6% interest when the Bank of England rate is just 0.5%. Banks can f*ck right off. And some even put a £1000 fee on top of that. Now that really is taking the p!ss.
