    You assume too much.

    Wheres your nod in favour of my response?

    I answer your question and you simply edit it out like you knew that already and it was common knowledge. Shock horror!

    Your response did not make much sense:


    No Graham, I don't know how many times you have seen that line. It depends how many times you have accused people of having more then 1 account I suppose.

    I do not use the discussion time board, but I take it you make a nuisance of yourself there too.

    Currently so far we have:

    15 Higher
    20 Lower

    Seems to tell us that we don't really have an idea which way they are going at the moment. It will possibly take until the election next year for things to become alot clearer. Its going to cost me another 6k in rent to find out though. :mad:

    An interesting additional question would be to ask what people thought would happen to prices this time last year. That would calibrate some of the answers this time I guess.

    We got that history all over the forum.

    People DID think wrong, bulls and bears alike. We all knew the economy was going boobies up, but none of us knew the severity and the desperation the government would take.

    Last year the economic world was a whole different climate.

    And I have a feeling this statement will be appropriate for this time next year.

    We should see the Halifax index collapse next month then icon7.gif

    Don't know, don't care, I have already stated my opinion in these indices, and just to be balanced my opinion was stated in the month of June when they fell....... any indice that goes from +2.6% to -0.5% within the space of 4 weeks is pretty much irrelevant.

    Agree with this Dan, the thin fake veneer will be will be pretty much removed over the next 12-18 months.

    Why the sudden outrage at rewired3? Where's all the gnashing and wailing for the orignal rewired?

    Oh, hypocrisy you say, ok.
