Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    Well, I'd trust him more than the rest of them. He was Finance Director for Shell or something, wasn't he?

    If it happened, it just depends what degree of autonomy they gave him.

    He was their chief economist for a while. Imagine, an economist running the economy! You'd think it would be pretty obvious wouldn't you?
