    They are miserable by nature.

    And angry because despite their best efforts to depress everyone into submission, house prices keep rising anyway.:D

    I still dont get it.
    What is good about houses getting more expensive?
    PS I do own a house.

    Why don't you ask someone who says it is good?

    You have 4 different sources in your signature that all show different figures.

    There is nothing good about rising prices, equally there is nothing good about prices crashing - stability is what we need

    - Read the Nationwide Q2 press release

    I thought we had to use the LR and not Nationwide?

    Just the last time I used Nationwide to prove a point, I was told it makes no difference, LR is what should be being used.

    :D Yes she did. And then spent ages trying to talk the market down to cover her financial mistake. Oooops.

    But at least she's buying back in now    .;)

    Is that why she is the ex editor icon7.gif

    Oh yes, im sorry Graham - Nationwide can only be used if showing a negative.

    Go ahead and use the LR - there is not much difference in them anyway.

    I guess the ad I saw in the freebie rag last week was right- "house prices rose in May- don't miss out! If you or your parents (sic) can afford a deposit, now is the time to buy!" It was for shared ownership of some stylish new-build one bed flats, offering superb urban living in Croydon and the East End. What if they've sold out by the time I ring up though? Arrrgh!
    They are an EYESORES!!!!
