If you were fed up you'd stop following and posting.

It's simple. I'm not fed up, I'm finding this all quite amusing.

Oh, I'd also like to thank you if I may. You reminded me to up my direct debit to charity this month

You, Sir, have done a good deed today.

Informative graphs:





The second graph is a month behind, the trend line and actual line have now almost touched.

This is a function of how the trend line is calculated. It's usually calculated by taking the latest house price figure and working backwards in time. Consequently, the current position and the trend line are always "almost touching".

If you look carefully, it says 'base Q3 2008', so it's been calculated working backwards from there. The 2.9% is to make it fit as closely as possible. As prices drop, so will the 2.9% figure.

Can I see the 2004/5 graph you are referring to please? Do you have a graph produced then?

Prices back to April 2004.

Anyone who bought a house in the last 5 years has lost money.

Or more accurately, anyone who has bought a house in the last five years has a house that may now be valued less than they bought it for.

Very different to 'lost money'.

Yeah, but I have you on ignore on the basis that you're also Wookster, !!!!!!?, Generalli, Horse In Hat Man, Mewbie and, sometimes, Cleaver.

So I don't read your posts.

Hey chuckyness, you being talked about on possibly your fav forum

it's funny post - they've selectively quoted just to get a point across.
very typical of that site just to take selective news and put it on there.

i'm happy that you're happy for me Graham - it could be quite embarrassing if your post count was as high there too, it would seem that you didn't have a life :rolleyes:
