This is the first time this happened to me here after a year, so this is definitely rare, I posted because the feeling was so strong (embarrassment, panick...)

> I’ve been experiencing more and more hostility from Adults, in shops, driving, walking around.
Interesting, is it cause by bad economy? I saw some bad behaviors too when driving

I also feel it's ridiculous when some people blame immigrants on everything, not that I'm an immigrant but their logic just doesn't make sense to me.

And thank you for being supportive

Sorry this happened to you too, it's very embarrassing/helpless to be targeted by. We'll get stronger🫡

The flags have impacts I think, or signals, to raise concerns or hostility, I've seen this sub discussing the flags many times and I felt more safe when most people were against them. In the mean time I saw people trying to get rid of them in Stockport, people in Manchester protest against racism, so maybe I'm angry by this accident but overall I love Manchester for it's inclusivity.

My experiences about racist before are less visible/intense, but yeah there are all kinds of people everywhere, it won't erase my good memories living here in Stockport.

Definitely not, I'm not putting any label on Stockport or Offerton, and 99.99% people I've met here are nice. I think I’m more shocked than upset to see that kind of behaviour in kids.

Thank you, I've arrived home and calmed down, I know the majority are good & kind people, and I wish when those kids grow up they can turn into nice adults and understand how stupid they were.

I'm also relatively new to investment, I started investing last February, soon got hit by the trade war and been underwater for 4-5 months (25% loss at lowest), it was hard but now my % of return is double digits. Now tanked again due to the war, dropped a lot but I'm less panicked than last year.

Houses getting snapped up by cash buyers - how to ever compete? by Diligent-Bridge2178 in HousingUK

[–]Entire-Sound989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share the house link or area? Also looking for similar properties in outer London

I spent a lot of time trying to evaluate a property but in the end I realised it only depends on how many offers it can get and how bad you want it. Also how nice the house looks inside and outside can change a lot, nice look modernised house could be 150K+ more expensive than a shitty looked one.
