    LOL Hamish.

    You seemed to miss the point charterhouse was making.

    They were not saying they needed it breaking down, or suggesting that the 48k was made up of differing types of mortgages. They were saying it gives no idea of actual demand.

    Let's put it simply.

    You cannot define demand on these figures, because these are the APPROVED figures. They do not include all those who wish to remortgage, but are denied, or all those who may re-mortgage, but at the moment are staying put.

    To define demand, you need to have a running figure of mortgage applications, NOT approvals.

    Nicely done though Squire.

    Demand is only relevant when it is effective, applications may give a view of future demand under different circumstances.

    Your ability to talk a good game but be so utterly full of carp never ceases to amaze me.
    What amazes me is people writing carp when the obscenity checker allows you to type crap.

    For example "you are full of crap Hamish".

    Holy crap Mewbie, if I'd known that, I wouldn't have had to listen to you spouting crap for the last few months, without telling you how full of crap you are.

    That's just crap.

    I wonder if I can say poppycock?

    You could just say thanks, as could anyone whose been typing carp. You have to pity a fisherman Googling for carp and stumbling on this lot.

    Please don't call me mewbie, it spoils my surfing experience.

    I would love a Ferrari and I am sure Stockport County would love to sign Ronaldo, but alas I/they can't afford it (well maybe an old one for me and the fat one for County). Thinking on, County did have George Best playing for them at one time.
