Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    I think the ";)" symbol in IveSeenTheLight's post was the pointer that s/he did actually know the edit wasn't done by the mods. She was being ironic - here's a brief introduction to this new form of humour :rolleyes:

    It is a subtle form of humour and generally more likely to be used by adults - hence mewbie's missunderstanding of IveSeenTheLight's post.
