F; to see what sage words Mr B has for the day.....plus car tips...what to buy. Oh yes. OH bought a Freelander some years back (quote; A Car For Life unquote)....are you having a laugh....A Freelander means you can spend half of every journey sat on the hard shoulder somewhere waiting for The AA.
It's got to go. It's the WORST car we have ever ever owned. And we sold my Celica (which was perfect) when we only needed one car....guess who won the which car do we keep debate?0 -

Housing market will probably 'bottom' late 2011.
In the interim there will be a recession of sorts, BoE/Libor rates will remain slightly above current levels.
Commodity prices will rise and cause real pain, net jobs will be lost, asset prices will continue to fall - whether that's houses, cars, furniture, plasma TV's.
The elite will get richer and the other 85% of the population will, in real terms, become poorer.
Specifically re house prices they will peak again in 14-18 years times (from Autum 2007).
Those that still spout minor hiccup, resumption of HPI, all is rosy, are either a tad stupid or have a vested interest.anger, denial, acceptance

Unlike your sarcastic and pointless comments, unfortunately.
You must have a very sad life if the high point of your day is being rude to anonymous posters on a forum.0 -
