    OK Doll.;)
    No, you're not getting it. 'Mate' is fine. 'Mewbs' is OK. Even 'me old mucker' is acceptable. But I don't need to be 'babe', or 'doll', even in my wilder fantasies.

    Geddit? Mate?

    Hmmm.

    So you compare the high of the FTSE, to a price today, and compare the low of the house prices, to the high of today, leaving out all service and legal costs, and then come up with the answer?

    Maybe tho this is how I do my car thing above and say that actually, I bought my car at £9500, but I saved £9000 by buying it at 2.5 years old, therefore, although it's now 30% less than what I bought it for, I'm still making a profit as I saved 50%.

    Therefore, I'm still up 12%?

    Woop. Yer, I quite like this.

    Dont forget to factor in the price of tyres.

    I got the feeling you kind of just looked past any kind of running costs, and focused purely on profits?

    And anyway, new tyres would only make my asset higher in value to a buyer.

    See, I can spin anything just as good! :D

    unlike property, where you can owe more than what you actually put in.
