    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

    Saturday - BTL'S to sue Banks because they've lost money and gone into "negitive equity"

  • And to think I used to read this bog roll paper. Mind that was only cos BHS sell it for 10p if you eat there and that’s the most I am willing to spend on any paper given the low comfort, high chaffing factor and generally poor absorption.

    That's nuts house prices are already moving out of reach for younger people and salaries are not keeping up with prices.

    Sooner or later the constant rise has to stop, stagnate or reverse simply because people will not be able to afford to buy.

    The buy part, deferred, with someone else type schemes can only add a smokescreen to the market for so long before they become innefective.

    Clearly not in the interest of the industry to get real about it though.

    Nelly, surely you have seen the recent adverts " I stand for manners" "I stand for decency", its those sort of values the paper stands for

    Are you saying they were wrong to back the Conservatives since Labour won?

    Do you vote for who you think is going to win the election?

    Back on topic.... it was obviously a good headlines since its got people talking! I don't see it happening personally. Bound to be what they call a 'correction' in the next few years.
