oh well we are just guessing anyway!
For myself I think we will look on the last 50 years as the halcyon days, China and India will start to dominate, we will stagnate, I would advise my kids that emigration might not be a bad option, Canada or Australia vast countries with huge and as yet untapped resources and low populations look good :-)
Sorry to sound so pessimistic, Im actually a pretty positive chap most of the time0 -
When house prices don't fall another 50% are you all going to be saying 'we didn't expect this' and 'didn't expect that'

"We didn't expect Gordon Brown to order the BoE to re-inflate the property boom"
"We didn't expect Labour to rig the housing market"
"We didn't expect Labour to keep world interest rates to remain low".
