We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.
This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

pandamonia - I see you've not been a member of MSE for very long, but if you wish to remain a member, could I suggest you re-familiarise yourself with this site's terms and conditions including the rules of posting on the forum, especially regarding the non-acceptance of abusive/offensive posts and nasty comments against other users.
"Pls be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps"
nothing in my post is abusive or nasty or offensive. But you people need to realise that your losing thousands in value every month on your homes due to people taking out irresponsible mortgage and loans. its not the banks fault its the people who lend the money. Maybe short and sharpe but thats exactly what people needs now to bring them back to reality0 -
I would find being called a muppet offensive. You may be trying to help the OP but its best to stick to the question being asked.0

i agree you need to offer less than £250,000. I lost £40k on our house but saved far more on our new one.0

tbs624 - One minute your post was there, the next it was gone?

If you really are offended by my posts, please, as I suggested to you previously, just add me to your ignore list.
However, I suspect you really are only posting in some sort of vain attempt to incite a negative response from me.:rolleyes:"Now to trolling as a concept. .... Personally, I've always found it a little sad that people choose to spend such a large proportion of their lives in this way but they do, and we have to deal with it." - MSE Forum Manager 6th July 20100
