    Yes I did know that, the blue data I posted has been revised. So prices didn't fall 6 months in a row as they were revised up.

    I didn't say prices fell 6 months in a row.

    I said Acadametrics showed prices falling 6 months in a row at the time.

    Do you understand the difference?
    So you're wrong arn't you.

    Oh dear god it's like arguing with a toddler.

    See above.....

    As so often brit - just raw stupidity from you backed up with no evidence or logical argument.

    We have come to expect so little from you, and have yet to be disappointed

    I think it is crazy for people to talk price rises, when we have wide spread wage freezes coming, already high inflation and increased unemployment. These lower interst rates have just given a breathing space and now the crash is happening again.

    As for the things that caused the recent price rises, the government housing budget is being slashed. No more shared ownership/equity inflated sales to distort the market. The CGT changes should also scare off foriegn investors.

    Prices are going to start to fall from here on in, what are they going to do to stop it, we are broke. We could always lower interest rates. :rotfl:

    By the way what happens to the government mortgage lending funds for banks this year. They stop and demand money back. Thats a heckof a lot less mortgage funds.

    No, you've got your multiple posters mixed up.

    Stiflersmom is Harry Powell aka Dithering Dad (now tragically PPR'ed) and aka some other nasty aliases I can't remember, some of which got PPR'ed v quick indeed.

    nollag is a knob, but a different one, AFAIK.

    thanks for clearing that one up carol. but you could be forgiven for thinking stiflers and nollag and are the same lemon as they both post the same nonsense and then finish it with the same smilie every time. you get some funny people on the internet that's for sure.
