    i agree with the post but i'm not convinced about this bit - which came first; the good school or the value of houses in the catchment area?

    They probably fed of each other. But I think the principle stands, in life there has to be some kind of selection. There isn't enough quality supply to satisfy the demand. labour seem to be using 'Price' as the allocation method in all cases. This works in some cases (housing) but in others such as education it is wrong.

    So many on here thought the recession was going to come and go just like that. It's early days yet.


    Yeap...the biggest boom in a long, long time followed by the smallest bust. Makes you wonder what these people are on.

    How come Hamish hasn't posted yet on this thread?

    If I don't believe it, maybe it's not true!

    That's why ;)

    Because he is very shortsighted & struggles to read the page whilst still focusing on Aberdeen Labour Asslickers Monthly....
