    Why would your lack of comprehension spoil my Xmas ? Especially as Xmas was 2 days ago.


    Christmas doesn't end until 6th January. Even schoolkids know that! D'oh!

    You're showing your lack of knowledge again!

    Gosh, you're sharp!! How long did it take you to think up that retort???:rotfl:

    You should stop trying to be funny: half-wits can never be witty. Strange that!

    LOL:p

    You could have been a teacher or pupil:confused: (with that remark I take it you are nearer pupil age than teacher:p).

    Personally I have no idea when schools go back as it is many years since I was there, I could always ask my grandson when he goes back.

    You do take things personally though.

    Ps I am a half-wit and proud of it:rotfl:
  • I can only talk as I find and locally to me there have been a further 2 houses sold recently....One back in June was up for £198,950(3 bed tiny mid terrace) sold for £178,950(it was up for £215k 12 months ago) and the 2nd was up for £185,000 and sold for £159,000 so either we are bucking Hamishes trend or its all rubbish.I can understand people adverise for more than they are willing to accept but thats a tidy drop..

    I would also point out as I have previously that where I have my workshop we are one of only two businesses left out of 8.All the others have packed up.Either our area is just unlucky and not representative or we are in serious trouble economically.......

    The vast majority of people are worried sick about their jobs and as such the Housing market aint going up for at least a year or more......

    You're talking rubbish. There's actually a lack of property on the market, and too many buyers chasing the same one.

    Just shows how little you know!

    Well, I suggest you rush right out and buy one, dear. Before they all go. In the rush.

    Or preferably several.

    In fact, the more you buy, the happier I shall be.

    Sheer Quality.

    I wonder if rumbaba forgets which identity it is using :rotfl:
    "There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."
    "I could play all day in my Green Cathedral".
    "The Centuries that divide me shall be undone."
    "A dream? Really, Doctor. You'll be consulting the entrails of a sheep next. "
