Apologies, obv phrased that poorly.
Just trying to understand what the interesting counter intuitive point was. This morning everyone making a big deal about the peppercorn, something I thought was normal. Presumed I missed something

I've not studied property law, and only read the headline. But just to be clear... are we laughing at the people who don't understand that this is how leasehold works? My flat in south London had a peppercorn rent, I thought that was normal.

Ah. I miss the primary school 1-mile walk. Despite protests in the later years about walking alone, I used the excuse that it was on my route to work so "I'll just come with you."
