    Halifax says house prices are rising.........
    In fact, the Halifax's parent company, the Lloyds banking group, still expects house prices to have fallen by 7% over the course of this year

    Yes, imagine the humiliation of getting your house price prediction signature wrong on an internet forum literally read by tens of people every week.

    I couldn't live with the shame personally.

    What difference will it make?

    You'll still remind me of it anyway.

    I'm not going back on anything. Just didn't like it as a signature.
