    e been lucky as both my parents had to work, in fact both my grandparents had to work as well
    BTW 'our entire economic prosperity over the last decade' is a load of bollocks :p

    agree w this fwiw, kinda feel should measure prosperity in terms of wages. or if we measure in assets, should be equity in the asset rather than the asset itself.

    both my parents and grandparents worked but I come from working class background. think middle class people were luckier w this in the past tho

    Well hump me silly. The denial on this forum is astounding. I don't think it would matter if the second coming of christ said house prices where going to fall further.
