    Shame on you.

    The HPCers on this board have also been shown to be shameful, vested interest twits who can't wait to get their snouts in the trough of HPI. They rub their hands with glee when people lose their jobs and homes and yet plan their own BTL empires.

    No, just want to own (1) one home, move on with life and start a family. Evil I know.:cry:

    I find it very childish and upsetting when some people here are calling horrible names to a perszon they have never met.

    Her name is Kirstie.

    It is the height of rudeness to call her nasty names for NO REAON.

    She has not done anyone here any personal harm. She is just trying to make a living like the rest of us. OK, so she was wrong when she said the proces would go up and there wouldnt be a crash...

    Doesnt derseve the vitriol she is getting from some tho.

    Please stop.

    On the contrary, I shall continue to call her Krusty - a very appropriate nickname to describe her clownish views on the UK housing market.

    Her latest self-deceiving attempt to resurrect her reputation and "help" the British public shows that the shameless woman hasn't learnt a thing.

    A bit of humility, and anonymity, from Krusty might possibly assuage me - but she carries on singing on the lower decks well after the iceberg has hit the Titanic.

    BTW I had no intention of starting another Krusty thread this morning until I saw your juvenile thread, dervish :rotfl: This is a free country.

    Given the pent-up demand to buy a property evidenced on this board - I would say she has every reason to feel optimistic.

    On the other hand, imagine a young couple who stumbled upon the Housepricecrash web site in December 2005 and, as a result, decided to wait a bit longer........By, say, May 2006, they might well have lost confidence, seen property rise almost out of their reach and decided at that point to pitch in before it was 'too late.' Who would they be thanking now?

    It's all easy, in theory. The practice is harder, hence my sig.

    Indeed, someone who decided not to buy before might well have to wait ages now because they can't get a mortgage. People on this board forget that getting a mortgage is a privilege not a right.

    I knew prices would fall badly when some so called expert said we were in for a soft landing. The same phrase was made in the last recession.
  • Shame on you.

    The HPCers on this board have also been shown to be shameful, vested interest twits who can't wait to get their snouts in the trough of HPI. They rub their hands with glee when people lose their jobs and homes and yet plan their own BTL empires.

    Personally, I can't see the difference between a HPCer and those they criticise. They are all greedy people who just care about money.


    I've been reading the HPC website for a couple of years now. I've got to say I have yet to read anyone on there saying they are planning their own BTL empire when prices drop.

    I found the HPC forum when I realised something wasn't quite right...couldn't put my finger on it.

    HPC does have it's nasty poster, like any other forum but there are also a lot of clued up people over there who certainly helped me to understand what was coming. And I understood long enough to get my house in order: get my
    debts paid off, not take on any more and ignore the Kirsties on the box telling me I had to buy a home now or I'd never be able to afford one.

    Personally, I have a friend who had a small interest in BTL for many year. I watched him taking in all the pressure in the media telling us prices only ever go up and he used what he had nearly paid off to leverage to buy more and more. I tried to get him to read more widely (both this forum and HPC). He didn't and is now worried that he may have to go bankrupt.

    And that's where the dislike of the likes of Phil & Krusty comes from: seeing your friends and work colleagues believing their uninformed drival and selling the rest of their lives to the bank to pay for slave boxes at 6x their wage/interest only mortgages when anyone who was awake could see there was recession on the horizon.

    I just wish more folks had gone over and read the HPC forums over the last 4 years. Yes, you have to wade through stuff from vested interests on both sides but it's not hard to tell the good from the bad.
