If i was banned from a forum i wouldn't keep going back to it.
Its a bit like being banned from a pub but you keep going back to stand outside and watch people drinking.
Yes, drinking! Drinking the drink of bitterness and resentment. A dismal draught denied even to jealous McTavish.

Do you think the price will stay as low after the change.0 -
And here is one from the 1970's/1980's recession, the last time the country needed to convert redundant commercial property.
The BATA Shoe company had its boardroom in there somewhere.

House prices 'still on the slide'House prices in England and Wales are still falling, according to the latest survey from the Land Registry.
It says the average property price fell by 1.1% in March to £160,996, leaving prices 2.3% lower than a year ago.
The data paints a different picture from that of the Nationwide, which earlier said prices had been "fairly static" over the past six months.
They shows that prices have been falling consistently since last August, with only one month since then - January - recording a price increase.
"The data for March shows a monthly house price change of minus 1.1%, which is the largest monthly fall seen since February 2009," the Land Registry said.0 -
So that January increase represented a hand shake in October?0
