doddisalegend Posted 18 November, 2011 Share Posted 18 November, 2011 I was a late starter it seems didn't leave until I was 22. Finished higher education at 20 (but went local and commuted from my parents house) then couldn't afford to leave home until I found a lady to share with. Went back to live with my parents for three months at 27 and took a wife and baby with me while we were between houses. Still only live a 10 minute drive away from my parents and see them quite a bit. Take the family around to my parents for one of my mums roasts (still the best roast dinner I've ever had) on a sunday about once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 19 November, 2011 Share Posted 19 November, 2011 Judging by posts made in several different threads by some I am really amazed that they claim that they attended Universities. The standard appears to have really dropped over the past 20 or so years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 19 November, 2011 Share Posted 19 November, 2011 hmmm, yet mikey must finish his degree? Yep, I left home and school at 16 thinking I could do just fine without a degree.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 19 - to Uni after repeating Upper 6th. These days there's no money anywhere and its harder to break out.

Golden Balls Posted 20 November, 2011 Share Posted 20 November, 2011 18 after I finished college. Moved in with 3 mates to a 5 bedroom house. Lived the dream for a year before having to move out and got a flat with my then missus. Moved back for 4 weeks when I was between places. Hated nearly every second (apart from having my washing done for me) and got out as quickly as I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
