I won't call you thick, but I think you have an inability to see a bigger picture.

You sell stuff every now and again, right? Whether that's something small on eBay, a car, a CD or record to a second hand place when you were a kid, your time to a business? Surely you have?

So what do you sell these things for? The highest rate you can get via what someone is willing to pay or do you work out the intrinsic value of the item and then sell it for this? For example, you find a signed England shirt in your loft which has all the signatures of the 1966 cup winning team on it. Because of our culture it's worth £10,000, but the actual shirt is worth £30. What do you sell it for? Do you act like a 'theif' and sell it for £10,000 which is the market value or do you 'do the right thing' and sell it for £30?

Where I might agree with you is that previous and current governments should have put more measures in place to stop this happening. In a previous thread you were talking about buying your Mum and Dad's council house which is worth £250k. This is an appalling thing that is allowed to happen which pushes up houses prices, but then I sure you know this.

Id sell it for £44.99 inc. VAT

Really2

I suppose this method works a lot better than saying you are going to leave the forum.:)

Nah your right Cleaver. It is normal to sell something more than what it's worth for e.g. the first edition Superman/Batman comic was recently sold for $1 million as opposed to it's original price $0.10 cents

I just think that the Gov shouldnt have allowed the housing market to get stupidly out of control. Unfortunately, I have a choice - go along with it, or start some banter in a forum.

There's no real harsh feelings behind what I say. Im bored and having my MLK moment.

Lighten up thieves hahaha

Agreed.

I don't think you really mean what you say, as if you felt that strongly about housing being a neccessity for most people and not something to make money out of it you wouldn't be on here looking for ways to buy your parent's quarter of a million pound council house.

And when it does I hope you are the first to lose their job.

In fairness, GB did promise that he wouldn`t let the housing market get out of control. I wonder if that caused many people to vote Labour????
