    But my friends on Housepricecrash, and their paramilitary wing in Moneyweek, have all told me that house prices would have crashed by now.

    £205,240 on average?

    That would imply you have a lot of houses for ~£100k to balance out the houses in Oxford, London, Brighton, etc; where are they? Do you need a 4x4 to reach them?

    They will double before we get the next down turn.
    Load of doom mongers posting on The Telegraph this morning claiming a global crash is imminent. This was in response to Ambrose-Pritchards article claiming the money supply has rapidly expanded and he see's no signs of a crash.

    Glorious, simply glorious.

    I just hope the cost of gas triples, food quadruples and petrol doubles. I think I may be asking too much if I hope for my council tax bill to double too. Oh, and it would be quite nice if a bog standard car came in at an average price of 40k.

    Here's hoping for the good times to roll, anyway.

    Sounds like you bought shares in British Gas, Greggs and Esso, was it for the dividend income, a punt on the share price or a bit of both?
