    This thread, chucky's post to be precise.

    Ahhh, I see. I was looking at the article. Where did chucky get his figures from?

    Interesting though, as, in real terms, 60% expect prices to be lower next year. :D

    he actually hasn't... some of those 40% that expect price rises may be less than inflation... it's probably higher than 60%...

    I wonder why chucky forgot to mention that this survey he talks of has also fallen back from 83% to 75%.

    Oh dear chucky.

    By the way, no mention of your figures. Again. So, where did you get the figures from?

    i didn't start the rejoicing thread, it was Brit. i replied to his comment.

    but here's the quote for you again
    one in five believe prices will fall over the next year
    that's 20% for some one with limited inteligence like yourself....

    2 in 10 people think house prices will be lower in a years time? You're scratching around for some bad news that you can post to inject a bit of misery into peoples lives today Brit.
    Who are you to judge what makes people miserable? It is pretty clear that to most people who don't (and indeed perhaps can't, with the current never-before-seen extremely inflated prices) own property this is good news.

    For myself, this made me smile a bit that there might be a little dose of sanity on the horizon (or a soupcon of madness antidote).
    Long live the faces of t'wunty.

    Sorry chuckles, it just looked like you had made them up.
