A cold breeze up the kilt for Hamish
Comments

We all know he bought at the wrong time
No, you constantly think he bought at the wrong time as you believe the whole UK follows the UK average.
It's a flawed belief carolt.
Hamish has shown that where he has bought the market has not dropped and the rent he has saved in those last two years means he was absolutely correct to buy when he did.:wall:

I'm trying desperately to rationalise Hamish's behaviour, because let's face it, we all know he's not normal.
That at least would be some justification foor the obsessive posting.
If it's not that, then I am really, really lost as to what his problem is.0 -

Now your trying to turn it around.

P.S. the bit I highlighted in bold is really ironic. Bit of a pot, kettle black situation going on
No, you've totally lost me.0 -
This is all getting rather silly and quite viscious.
When a more bullish poster, any of them posting here, can tell me how people will actually afford uprising prices, and correlate rising house prices with falling / stagnant wages, I will listen.
Until then, I suppose all you can hope for for saying such a thing about the problem of paying for forever higher prices, is yet more abuse.
All these posts harping on about rising this, rising that. NONE of it mentions just how it's actually going to be paid for, and the question is always run away from.
No one celebrates when less and less people can afford fuel. No one celebrates gleefully when fuel rising means they have less money in their pockets and less people can afford to do anything with their lives as they are living to just make ends meet. The celebration that houses are going up way over wages is something I cannot figure out, especially after such a bust which we haven't even finished the stimulus for, let alone started paying back.0 -

Do you recall the discussion about how we have currently the highest level of owner occupiers in recorded history in the UK?
Do you remember how I said that unfortunately we may see this percentage dropping and that the number of owner occupiers could reduce?
Is this running away from the question?
P.S. Wages are not falling on average:wall:

Try reading it again in the morning.
It might be too late in the evening for you.
Hint: Your now trying to impose it was Hamish's thoughts, when you corrected his paragraph with your own
The other part about pot, kettle and black I find ironic as you have on many occasions shown your hatred towards others:wall:

I can accept you were trying to correct a post from Hamish to your views, it's just that your correction did not make sense.
It would be much easier and better if you had re-read the post, understood the mistake that was pointed out to you, put your hands up, admitted the mistake and re-wrote what you had intended.
As it is, it seems even worse that after pointing out the error you are still in denial.
If a teacher uses a red pen to make corrections, what colour should be used to correct the corrections?:wall:

Denial. Not just a river in Egypt....
It's sad that she doesn't get it.
But sadder still that someone so obviously lacking in integrity and intelligence can be a teacher in this day and age.
I do hope she manages to keep the hate filled rants out of the classroom.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

We are at present see large scale wage freezes in public sector and private sector areas. The govrnment is seeking to reduce future pay increases as deals end and the whole in their fiances gets bigger. On top of that both public and private redundecies are increasing with reductions in recruitment.
Now together with tigher lending criteria and big loses being writen off by banks and builders how can there be increases in asset prices. How can this be sustainable especially when you consider all the debt.
Now who here can explain why they think price increases in say housing will continue?:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.

Brit, I can;t take you seriously as long as you so blatantly are wrong with your signature.
Once you have a bit of reality come back.
Rightmove have not shown two consecutive monthly drops for the whole on 2009:wall:
