Mortgage lending slides further......sorry to put the weed killer on those green shoots

Need a lot of weed killer. Those green shoots are growing in some grade A bullsh1t.

Can't believe no one has said it yet, but this looks like what we refer to in the trade as a 'Dead Cat Bounce'.

Or, to misquote Mr Praline...

"This cat is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the window ledge of your 3 bed semi, 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-CAT!!"

Green shoots are showing and hard working familes are jumping in due to enormous pent up demand.

Bloody nora, these 'hard working families' are everywhere aren't they? Not a day goes by without people asking about their welfare, the deal they are getting, their taxes.

It's the lazy families, fairly hard working families, downright industrious (but not classed as hard working) families and 'slightly doing a bit of a work but then skiving off on Friday afternoons especially when the sun is out' families that I am worried about during these times. Who is looking out for them?

Yeh, I've seen many a dead cat bounce in my time and this definitely one, actually I haven't, I just recently learned about it.

I had a cat die under my car this winter (I don't know why it just decided to die under my car on the drive)

I removed it with a shovel and it was as stiff as a board.

It fell off the shovel they don't bounce they sort of thud.:)
