    Also, hard times seem to make for better music. Is it too much to hope for an end of the manufactured bilge that passes for music?

    ...estate agents. They look fairly stable compared to other "Shops" as people still need somwhere to live/rent.
    Please tell me you were joking. Or do you mean they'll be letting out their floor space to the recently repossessed to kip on? That would certainly be more profitable than trying to flog houses right now.

    It's a chicken and egg thing, really, isn't it - recession and house prices falling.

    I'd argue the house prices falling caused the recession, not the other way around; but I suppose once it gets going, it then works both ways.

    Certainly, lower house prices = great thing!

    I'm surprised - I always took you as someone who listened to 50 Cent or even Eminem.
