    Because house prices will be so low they'll all have bought by then?

    doubt it - they have a very similar outlook to the bearish posters on here

    some would say they lack a set of balls or even the courage to take such a big step :D

    Hardly been there and never posted when I did.

    It seems to be a bit one sided as a 'forum' if its title presumes one thing only. I think you'll get a better mix of opinions here, and our 2 for 1 pizza offers are great too, of course.:D

    I liked their video though; the one with Kirstie, Phil and Laurel & Hardy, or whoever they were.

    I like some of the threads on the HPC forums. Of course you have to learn to identify the "doomer" posters. For me it is interesting to note that several of the prominent bears over there have bought homes recently.

    It amazes me to see how many negative people you can get in one place. A lot of the members there don't want to consider being realistic, its all about being miserable and sour for some reason.
