Debate House Prices

    How is that gloating? It's just that that is exactly what some bulls on here still attempt to claim. But which I - as my comment made clear - think is about as likely as pigs flying.

    They, apparently, disagree.

    If I'd added 'ha ha' or something, that would have been gloating. But I didn't. So not quite sure where you get the gloating from. Sarcastic, yes. Gloating, no.

    No it`s not gloating. Apart from the human misery that repossesion causes, it also impacts on the wider economy.

    I and plenty of other people I know run small businesses and are already feeling the double whammy of rising running costs and falling demand.
  • Maybe it is just how I read it. Apolgies if I misinterpreted.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.

    Folks who invest very substantial sums of money in business ventures when they have never actually visited the location where their business is based, get no sympathy from me.
  • Nor me. I find no need to mock them or 'rub it in' either.

    Maybe that's easier for you, as you are invested, albeit more sensibly, in the same thing, and as you don't have to put up with being insulted on a daily basis as a 'loser', 'jealous', missed the boat', etc etc etc.

    So while I agree it's probably not nice, it can be hard to resist.
