LOL, I see your point, however they hardly shares the smae space on the front page..
The Twirl advert was about a 1/4 of the headline and not counting the article itself.

Ignoring the text of the article, all I saw was the screaming sensationalist headline, the free Twirl banner and a photo of a little girl skipping in a field. About a third coverage each.

As in always, it's best to read the small print.
It generally has far more information and important information than the headline.

Nevermind, tomorre we'll see how daft the headline is or isn't

I did read the article, you know.

I wasn't saying the article was in any way inaccurate (though I'm sure I could pick holes, I leave that to the pedants). I can only humbly suggest you take a look at the definition of the word "daft":

–adjective,-er, -est.
1.senseless, stupid, or foolish.
2. insane; crazy.

The Express may be correct - I wasn't disputing that - but it is being senseless, stupid, foolish, insane and crazy at the same time if it is suggesting that this 10% rise can only be a Good Thing.

As an aside, can you believe a Google search for the term "daft" comes up with a link to an Irish property search website? http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=daft

Just about sums up the insanity of the property market in the UK and Ireland.

I won't be pedantic and state that the headline didn't say it was a good thing
Have a good night, I'm off to watch the Barca / Inter game
