    This is what happens when:

    - Talking about rises
    - Talking about falls
    - Talking about stagnation
    - Debating whether down actually means up
    - Moneyweek is mentioned by some looney who actually wants to discuss something.
    - Trend lines, don't even go near trend lines. They don't curve, but they do curve, but they only curve when they curve, otherwise they don't curve....but theres no way on earth they can actually possibly curve.
    - Any time really2 talks at me
    - Posting any graph / chart / doodle / tracing / watercolour. Especially "the" graph...that one creates a riot.
    - Centre for Economics is mentioned.

    Yep. I'm in a war.
    is that the Centre for Economics and Business Research?

    come on Devon... you're so unappreciative... we've had to explain

    YoY graphs to you...
    what stagnation is (not 10% YoY HPI)
    the difference between real and notional prices
    supply and demand...
    effective demand...
    the different averages - mode, median and mean
    CGT
    etc...
    etc...
    etc...

    So, including the price rises in January, Feb and July, and the falls in the other months, Acadametrics has house prices up roughly £4000 since December 2009. Or roughly 2%. If I'd only looked before quoting Chucky I'd have been right, instead of right and wrong. :)
