And yet the supposition I, the OP was some 'chav' tucked up by a bargirl persists.
To put an end to any further speculation, the bastards in question were acquaintances who'd attempted to sell my property whilst I was in ICU. They'd broken in ostensibly 'to care for your dogs' and proceeded to put my gaff up on every shady property for sale website in the area. I had been alerted to this by a neighbour via email some weeks after my having not been seen around for a while. There was no way in hell I was going to allow these evil cunts off without a fight. They'd paid off the police, the prosecutor and when that didn't work, the provincial judge. I took it all the way up the food chain and won. So now have
their house, plus how many tens of thousands out of pocket wasted bribery for them
That 'never walk away blah blah' therefore didn't apply in my case. I'm not some sad sod buying his tart du nuit a crib and a motor after a night's grunting. I would also say that having both rented and owned owning is by far the better way to go. No bloody landlord telling you what you can do with your home nor turfing you out at the whiff of a better offer. Plus, no bloody rent.
Don't roll over for these fuckers is my advice. Right is might. La gon.
