    why are you so cross all the time?
    you really should chill out a bit.

    Sorry - where did you get the implication I was cross?

    Can't see anything 'cross' in my reply.

    Just factual.

    I'm quite chilled, thank you.

    So what's your real name, dear?

    I don't face form anything every day.

    I spend time with my lovely 2 year old, and teach when I want.

    Believe me, if I was teaching form anything, daily, I'd not have time to post on here.

    Incidentally, should clear something up - unless you count helping my own kids do homework, I've never taught a primary school child in my life.

    I'm sure that will disappoint some terribly; chiefly those who like to claim that the nation's problems with reading and writing are entirely to be laid at my door. :rolleyes:

    Ah, that well-known site - sharecast.

    Hmm.

    don't want to get involved - but just on this one point - are you disputing chucky's numbers?
    Because they are clear on the RICs report, which is surely the best place to go if you really want to reduce spin:
    http://www.rics.org/NR/rdonlyres/C6485B49-FE2D-46EA-BBEF-876250F98B9A/0/hms_0409.pdf
    Overall: 5% reporting "rise", 48% reporting "same", 48% reporting "falls".

    There is quite some regional variation; basically London and the south, more are seeing "same" than "falls", everywhere else, the "falls" win.

    I know BBC might be better known but I don't know why you would think Yahoo or finance sites would report rubbish/lies?! They all get their news from the same place originally (IE the report). IMHO they have reported it more clearly by giving those overall numbers.
