    Just a note for everyone.

    Masterchef is back on our TV screen, hence I would expect a huge increase in obesity.
    aaaaah so would that mean all the property !!!!!! had no influence on HPI ramping (to coin a phrase off some Bears).

    Foot is happy,

    One program is about making money (or not as the case my be), the other is about self improvement and excellence.

    I'll take option 2 please.

    Not your point though is it, you mocked that there is no link between media and activity.

    You can't just back out now on what the shows promote it either has no influence or it does.
    I would argue it does but perhaps master chef may spark more to cook more adventurously not obesity.

    PS What do most of those amatures say they want to be??? Top chef's that it, no reward for being a top chef is there.;)

    My point was that the two things are not linked.

    Theres 169 viewing at the moment on the housing board.

    Is this a sign that considering it's near half the amount of yesterday, things have gone very pear shaped in the housing market?

    Ahhh teatime. Good call.

    I have a niggling feeling that due to a live episode of Eastenders this month, house buying will be down 17% in february.

    No but most probably shows that perhaps what someone said yesterday that they may have promoted the site might be true.

    Not that you can still come out with anything logical Graham.:p

    I believe your explanations stand at 0.
