    I do not see an overvaluing in house prices, more a realistic value at current prices and a long plateau with prices stagnating for a few years while the economy bumps along.

    Without feeding the rabid, conspiracy theorist, trolls like Hamish how far do you feel house prices have to fall ?

    I really cannot see them falling alot further from where they are at the moment.

    I can because the funding system that let them this high is broke. There simply isn't the money and the banks are in debt, prices will fall to lending ability what ever that is

    Y'know, I like having you and Hamish here as it's nice to hear both ends of the spectrum. Makes me also think that the actual situation will be somewhere in the middle of both of your extreme opinions.

    I know gizzy, &, as my kids say, i'm only a good mum when when I'm drunk, so i'm doing the right thing & booking this years camp bestival tickets now- staggered payments : As festival goers and family peeps ourselves we know times are tough for many at the moment and especially for families, so we've devised a cunning plan so you can buy Camp Bestival tickets via a unique staggered payment system that gives you the chance to spread the cost of buying tickets across six equal payments.

    Is that worthy of its own thread in the current economic climate? :D
    Anyhow, evidence of my compassion, even in times of empathy fatigue, I always pull through somehow :A
