Half houses left to the offspring.

Are you SURE you are not Frank? Or his twin?

Bentley is the product of Frank's worst nightmares

.....everyone's worst nightmare I should think

I felt like a nap this afternoon, I think it is guarante...............zzzz

"yawn"

I think you need to try harder.

At least Frank knows what he's talking about whereas bentley gets totally confused.

Also, in fairness to Frank he does start threads that are never meant to be controversial, just observational. In addition he has posted in a very supportive way when members dogs have "passed away".

I'm not fully up to speed with Gerry (I notice that he hasn't answered my question yet) but I can't say I've noticed him posting anything that could be thought of as even remotely supportive, sympathetic, empathetic or even (god forbid) "nice".

If he wants to just start threads that might be deemed "controversial" I'm afraid he will have to try harder!

I think this is just another wind-up

Some forums, with a view to their figures, will pay people to start a thread...not saying this is the case on Gransnet but maybe bentley49 is a paid agent provocateur They start a thread but never post elsewhere.

Don't think anyone would pay Bentley/Gerry for his current crop of OPs...

More likely to make members leave

As I said on another thread, maybe they are alter egos of the same person.

I have heard others express the same theory, but I'm still not sure.

Try a cold flannel.

I don't think Bentley engages his brain before he writes.

1) If the mother or father leaves their half of the jointly owned home to the offspring the surviving parent only owns half of the property but they have the right to live in it for the rest of their life.

2) In my case and I am sure in many other cases the offspring spends substantial sums of money on the house relying on the fact the house will be theirs at some point.

Frank

Funny you should say that frank !!

Oddly enough.

Strangely...

Groundhogs come to mind !!

Boring.
