    Can I take Stevie out of my sig and put you in instead!? :D

    The problem is you sig is wrong, my guesses are based on the FT index which covers all, not just one bank and its mortgages :rolleyes: BTW that is -17% :D

    online and phone poles are easily manipulated.
    But marginally more reliable than listening to an individual who seems to be on a one man mission to save the housing market by picking pointless holes in any anomaly while missing the bigger picture by a country mile.

    My money was on end of summer 2009. Looks like I was a little late - price declines are definitely over.

    he does it's probably because he's paying off someone elses mortgage for him?

    Yes, I would be gutted too in that situation. I've only rented for 1 year since I was 18, and that was a year too long.

    Come on Mewbs, stop being greedy and cheer up. House prices are 20% cheaper then 2 years ago, plus interest rates are at record lows - I wouldn't mind being a FTBer right now.

    he's got to be angry about that - spending all that money on rent and maintaining him during his university days.

    just imagine he doesn't get that media studies degree at the end of it - Mewbs will be going mental!!!

    he's already trying to be the big bear but he really hasn't got it in him - he should just stick to the funnies.
    it's better all round.
