    That's nothing Round Myway you have to pay just to go onto a possible list to view and only the lucky ones get selected

    As funny as it is, there no need to lower yourself in saying 'round my way' anecdotals with no link of proof.
    You'll be tarred with the falacy of posts that other 'round my way' posters receive.

    Anyone remember the days when houses were bought to live in, not make/lose money in a speculative casino culture?

    As a Scotsman, it may shock you to hear that I actually wanted the English team to do well at the World Cup.

    My only criticism is the media who over inflate their expectations.

    If anyone want to look at bubbles, just look at the English Media's expectation of how successful their competition will go.
    It seems it's also cyclical with the bubble bein gpopped every two years.

    similar to house prices, Scotland buble never seems to get inflated in the same way ;)

    that may turn out to be a shrewd venture.
    I also understand they have already had a large correction.

    Frankly, if I'm bearish about UK property, I'm positively polar bearish about the PIIGS. Spain has got 20% unemployment, a tourist industry that relies on UK/European prosperity and a massive over-supply.

    So it might be a good investment, probably about the time they return to the Peseta!
