    Good old rewired! Thanking you for posting a link which doesn't work.
    Sorry pwllbwdr. Are you Welsh? It might explain the normally unpronounceable Ws.

    And you think I'm Rewired? I just think s/he is my number one fan. I'd thank his/her posts too if s/he ever made any! :)
    Long live the faces of t'wunty.

    No I'm not Welsh, but the name almost is.

    What on earth made you think I thought you were rewired?

    Probably confused by Rewired thanking you for a link that didn't work (one of the problems with having a setup that thanks bears for their posts regardless of merit). ;)

    From 2 years ago. Remind me where house prices sit now in comparison with then?
    We're crossing the 0% line going down, equivalent to Mar/Apr 2008.

    yet another one using a YoY graph and not understanding what it means...

    do you realise that the trend on the graph could be down but house prices actually increasing?

    My apologies. I see the error of my ways now.

    I misread this quote:
    Good old rewired! Thanking you for posting a link which doesn't work.
    As...
    Good old rewired! Thank you for posting a link which doesn't work.
    Thought you were being both sarcastic about the link c0ck-up (due to clunky-but-trying-to-be-helpful-almost-WYSIWYG forum interface, itself borne of a problem with Tiny URL links being censored which is why I needed to edit the post in the first place, albeit with incomplete success) and I thought you were addressing me as rewired.

    Crikey.

    Of course, bulls don't EVER do that!!

    Besides it's pretty low to undermine who chooses who they want to give thanks.

    I'd prefer a thumbs-up/thumbs-down system...

    Wossa prob? He remarks it's crossing the 0% boundary into negative YoY territory.

    Your keenness to dispense disdain meant you didn't appear to read the post properly. Just like me with the Welsh fella earlier! :A

    Not at all. Bringing up the YoY graph tells us more about last year than this year. We could have a negative month next month and the YoY could go upwards.

    It measures 2 months, now and 12 months ago, which blisk and many of the HPC numpties don't understand.

    He'd much better if he showed a graph just for the last 6 months if he was trying to imply a crash, the YoY doesn't show the same thing.
