Well played.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Is she? I wasn't aware of that. That accounts for the "phenomenal" yields on rental properties.Don't forget julieq is a frustrated wannabe BTLer.
Actually, she seems a fairly bright woman, erudite when we apply the modern meaning educated and not the medieval meaning, learned.
She does talk a lot of tosh very well, I do give her that.
That's an opinion, not a fact.*And therefore, by definition, a debt junkie.

Once a debt-junkie always a debt-junkie?
Does one have to stand up and proclaim "My name is xxxxxxxxxx, I am a debt-junkie"?0 -

Website for the financially incompetent votes that they want the price of their houses to rise.
Or 'Turkeys vote for Christmas shocker' as Charlie Brooker said of this poll.
I have attempted to engage in debate but am clearly just wasting my time here. I'll come back in one to two years time and have a laugh at you instead.0 -

How did I guess you were from there 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

Again, that's you putting your opinion and your bias in to the results of a survey.
The survey stated that certain percentages of the users of this website think house prices will rise or hold steady over the next year. Some of those that voted on house rises might meet your view and are sitting with glee, rubbing their hands at the thought of their house rising in value. However, some of those may have voted that prices will rise 5% with a heavy heart, in the knowledge that a government and public who seem like to like boom and bust are falling in to the same trap again.
What people think will happen and what people want to happen are two completely different things. However, don't let that ruin your view. Your quote from Charlton Brooker seems just as apt for you as it is for the 'sheeple' and 'poor fools' that use this site.
Jesus, the contempt from a few on this board towards the majority is quite contemptible.0 -
