Not sure how that would work?
DD people: Today we are going to meet Sibley who has bought a house.
Sibley: Hello. I bought a house.
DD peeps: And?
Sibley: I bought a house.
DD peeps: ?
Sibley: I bought a house.
You can see what I am getting at. Unless you have some cute angle on it of course. Or maybe it's so long since I watched Dragons Den (only once, boring), that they have changed the format from invention to repetition.
indeed.
sibley thinks that being part of the 70% of the UK's adult population who own a pwoperdee makes him some kind of hero and/or genius. he probably comes on these sites to give him a rare chance at feeling 'superior' in some way because [he imagines] the non-home owning 30% are disproportionately over-represented in such places... i don't think he quite appreciates just how far out of his financial league many of the so-called 'bears' are...
reminds me of the people who get excessively proud at having brought up children [something that an even higher proportion of the population does].FACT.0 -
the HPI version of Brit1234
Except Sibley has been pretty much right..... Whereas Brit has been spectacularly wrong about almost everything.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Where is the proof of this?
As a Scotsman, I could take offence, however I understand the limitations of some peoples understanding makes them wish to attack those of a better standing
what's you thoughts on this?
Wha’s Like Us – Damn Few And They’re A’ DeidBy Tom Anderson Cairns
The average Englishman, in the home he calls his castle, slips into his national
costume, a shabby raincoat, patented by chemist Charles Macintosh from Glasgow, Scotland.
En route to his office he strides along the English lane, surfaced by John Macadam of Ayr, Scotland.
He drives an English car fitted with tyres invented by John Boyd Dunlop of Dreghorn, Scotland.
At the train station he boards a train, the forerunner of which was a steam engine, invented by James Watt of Greenock, Scotland.
He then pours himself a cup of coffee from a thermos flask, the latter invented by James Dewar, a Scotsman from Kincardine-on-Forth.
At the office he receives the mail bearing adhesive stamps invented by James Chalmers of Dundee, Scotland.
During the day he uses the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell, born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
At home in the evening his daughter pedals her bicycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, blacksmith of Dumfries, Scotland.He watches the news on his television, an invention of John Logie Baird of Helensburgh, Scotland,
And an item about the U.S. Navy, founded by John Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland.
He has by now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation he picks up the Bible only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot, King James VI, who authorised its translation.
Nowhere can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots.
He could take to drink, but the Scots make the best in the world.
He could take a rifle and end it all but the breech-loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson of Pitfours, Scotland.
If he escapes death, he might then find himself on an operating table injected with penicillin, which was discovered by Alexander Fleming of Darvel, Scotland.
Or under anaesthetic, which was discovered by Sir James Young Simpson of Bathgate, Scotland.
Out of the anaesthetic, he would find no comfort in learning he was as safe as the Bank of England founded by William Paterson of Dumfries, Scotland.
Perhaps his only remaining hope would be to get a transfusion of guid Scottish blood which would entitle him to ask “Wha’s Like Us”....:wall:

Do you always generalise and tarr everyone with the same brush.
Being pedantic, that could be classed as racist, but I won't go there.
Anyway, now you know I'm a Scot and you can see my input to the thread, do you still believe that Scottish people are less intelligent?IveSeenTheLight wrote: »Hamish, lets be fair.
We've hugely critisized the 28 flash data as being hugely erroneous when it showed falls and when the monthly data came out it was not the same.
Most likely there is still a huge element of error when they show rises
P.S., you can't argue with the facts shown on house prices.
For topical discussion

What this indicates to me is that the international oil and gas business is currently in rude health.In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0
