    Things like employment figures are very relevant to house prices. Why would you expect them not to be discussed?

    As to the rest, well then I can see why you'd be a little bitter so understand where you're coming from.

    But all I can say is, if you don't wish to read about how much house prices are dropping, and the cause and effect, then you're probably in the wrong place..

    house price drops dont worry me, in the medium-long run I will be grateful for them

    I only come on MSE when a story breaks about house prices like todays nationwide figures. I cannot believe the same old people are still going on about the same old things. Still waiting for the massive crash, telling everybody about the size of their deposits, saving thousands each month as house prices lose thousands each month. Come on people, I know it must be murder renting, but live a little.
    hi chucky. how's things going ?

  • Andy, aren't you the chap who bought when in debt to the tune of tens of thousands of pounds, including to your Granny? And who was spending thousands on soft furnishings on the never-never, and pushing off to Florida on holiday?
