    In my book, that means house prices are still falling at a rapid rate in your local area.

    That doesn't sound right. A crash hasn't happened yet. There maybe a decline but a crash would be a sudden impact - one full swoop. There is no such thing as a 'continuing crash'..it happens and stays there or the market is leading to it. I doubt we are in any sort of 'crash'..yet.

    I reckon that silver will only go up once gold is priced out of reach for the purchasing masses. In the mean time it is stealthily increasing. Although I appreciate that both my last sentences agree that silver will go up:D

    no, neither of those two areas as it happens. and thanks for your considerable interest in my whereabouts. I don't want to be too specific as to where I live as you do get a lot of weirdos and stalkers on the internet.
    but if really2 can tell me where RDB lives then i will be able to confirm yes or no whether he lives anywhere near me
