  1. This is so relatable! I undertook a similar journey… moved out of my flat and packed my bags to move in to my ancestral house up north. Staff costs are outrageous tho. Like nobody works for the joy of it anymore?

  2. … now where did I leave that guillotine? I know I had it around here somewhere!!

  3. The article mentions the son doesn’t own/won’t inherit the estate. This is the middle-class equivalent of leaving London to live in your parents’ attic.

  4. We invited this nice young man to stay with us but it was really weird when he drank my bath water however

  5. More young people should show this kind of initiative instead of griping about the “flippin’ rent”.

  6. *11,000* acres. Doesn’t donate a parcel. Get absolutely fucked lol

  7. That’s what people complaining about rents in London should do. Stop with all that chosen homelessness nonsense and just go relax in one of your family estates.

  8. If you all read the article, they’re not the twats the title makes them out to be.
