I think his point was that the original resuscitation in the was original thread was 3 weeks.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

A little dangerous, dragging old articles up on the back of today's Nationwide figures, the bulls should know that the bears have far from had their day, so far we have had 2 Nationwide rises in 18 months, last time in the 90's we had 24 rises in 80 odd months before the bottom actually hit.
I think 'told you so' arguments should be left until we know for sure about what is going to happen, we won't know that until unemployment is falling, GDP is rising, public debt is falling, IR's are back to normal, and last but not least tax rises have fed through to people's wages, that are likely to be quite savage.0 -

I've no idea what my house is worth because no-one in my area has dared sell any similar property for over two years.
Exactly the same in my Mum's road.
When it actually happens, I may get some idea of the drop in both areas, but until cash changes hands it's all speculation either way.0
