    sorry but you should start to criticise the idiots that don't add anything but personal attacks if you want to make this point sound credible and consistent.

    There was an open question. You were mutually dragging mewbie up and talking about him openly. The question was asked "why are the bears like this".

    When answered, you try to do this. Thanks Stevie too for making my point.

    Why would I start having a pop at other people, who are nothing to do with this thread, when its YOU and your little group of friends who have asked the open ended question?

    You want to openly talk about one person, ask questions and talk about that one person, but when someone else comes along and answers the question, you want me to name and shame loads of different people so that I'm consistent!? After you have homed in on one!?

    You don't. You could just look past it. But you never do.

    What I don't get though, is if it's downey that annoys you, why you have to pop at others?

    I'm hardly having a pop at someone, if someone posts fantasist crap (which let's be honest half the time they don't even believe themselves) then I WILL call you up on it when you get proven wrong.

    And that's what this is really about, people hate being told "I told you so".

    firstly... sorry to disappoint but i don't use the internet for friends...

    secondly... an question was asked about me, i replied and was quite polite with it especially after the nonsense about me he's been spouting the last couple of days. you've obviously decided to ignore this, to me that's very convenient.

    so off you go to quote more inconsistencies and your little Thanking club ignoring what has been glaringly obvious.

    Have you noticed how some of the bears pull out the victim card, !!!!!! was a master at it, if I remember.

    Can't believe this thread is still going, especially after the drop in the LR today. When the itchy cash buyers (mugs ?:D) have ran out, the government money has ran out, even darker days are ahead for the housing market.

    could happen but then the banks will have no money and people won't be able to get finance or be able to own their own home - shame really :D

    you'll be ok Ad, don't worry - you're a cash buyer ;)

    Exactly!

    There is simply not enough money in the UK economy to sustain
    - house prices
    - government deficits.

    At some point all these inflationary policies will give rise to inflation and interest rates will have to rise and government spending will have to fall.

    The "boat" will be back.

    The money is available to finance the housing market without printy printy, just at a much lower level than 2007. We all know that the market is being supported by unrealistic IR's and QE, yet they are barely able to stop it falling, once those 'props' have gone, it will take on another collapse, it's so obvious, even to the layman I would have thought.
