    Anyone watch the news last night ;) Donald Trumps £1bn golf course in Aberdeenshire has been approved ;)

    Apparently going to be the best course in the world.

    House prices are bound to plummet by 50% in the region now:p

    it can only mean a good thing for Aberdeen - they'll probably attract much more investment that will need many more jobs in the area.

    Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.

    Poor litle mr b - his addiction to me is 'like heroin'!

    How bizarre.

    I'm soooo dull.

    Can't understand what adrock et al are on about - I have no idea at all who adrock is, or what I'm supposed to have said to him/her. Other than the comments on this thread, I have no 'feelings' about adrock or any of these other online entities.

    I do, however, have strong feelings about house prices.

    That's why I bother to post here and read here.

    Others are welcome to disagree with my views.

    If they do it sensibly, my respect for them increases and my views change - I've learnt a lot here.

    If they post nonsense, expect to be cut down to size, by me or other posters; this is a public forum, after all, and people reading posts on a Money Saving site deserve to be 'saved' from posts that are going to encourage them to make extremely expensive mistakes.

    Have a good day all!

    Same here, pretty rapid but a few years old, park it anywhere - Great but not so good for the environmemt.
    Trouble is they are trying to get at us with the new car tax.

    We also have an old car - 11 years old, I think (R reg). It's a 1.6 litre Fiat, good fuel economy, has been very cheap to maintain (we've had it since it was 3 years old) and it works fine. Especially in WC1, no-one will ever nick it, as it's always the oldest and least valuable motor about (-:
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Never had the least interest in cars - working is good, enough room to fit the 3 car seats and a reasonable boot is good.

    Completely oblivious to car brands. Find the subject extraordinarily dull. No idea why people are interested in bits of metal that cost lots of money. :confused:

    Good to know the jobless builders will have somewhere to work, in a couple of years when they break ground...
