HOMEOWNERS in the UK are more interested in the value of their house than in the fate of their own children, according to a new survey.
With banks, building societies and the police now warning of a market slowdown, homeowners say they are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain the equity on their house.
Meanwhile political analysts are warning of the electoral damage that would be caused by a house price collapse.
Professor Sir Roy Hobbs of the London School of Economics said: "Gordon Brown would sh*t his pants so loudly that the people in the next room would think the oven had exploded."
Mrs Billington added: "A woman two doors down from us told me her kids were the most important thing in the world. What a f*cking moron."
