Now I know you're on a wind up. :rotfl:
No, it's scientific fact.
After being so right for so long, my ego has grown to the size of a supermassive black hole and created a distortion in the gravitational fields of the entire universe. Re-alligning all matter in an orbit around it.
Aberdeen is therefore now the centre of the Universe.

Aberdeen absolutely suffered a decline in prices in the crash.
Nobody is disputing that.
However, by comparison to elsewhere it did OK. Prices only fell back a few months, versus several years in most of the UK.
It has also now recovered to peak, with the June 1010 price higher than the June 2007 price, and this weeks 28 day RoS flash higher than the previous all time peak in July 2007.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Graham, once again, this individual monthly data contains a bit of noise. Try to look at the broader picture.
The graph on "UpMyStreet" uses the same data as the graph I posted, only my graph is monthly while that graph is quarterly.
Look at the graph again from the broader perspective.
ITS STAGNATION FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS:wall:

Can you explain that on the same graph please
Just one question btw. Why are the two who live in Aberdeen on here so determined to show the rest of us their houses are rising in value?
So is the rest of the UK pretty much, but it's not endless attempts at convincing others and threads telling others that aberdeen is rising in price.
I'm genuinley interested in why we have to look at so many graphs, provided by two people who live there, and everywhere else in scotland that may be discussed is written off as meaningless.0 -

I only post to show factual evidence when other (usually not from Aberdeen) critisize or mock my VI area.
P.S. I don't live in Aberdeen, but I do own properties there.
I've discussed many areas through the UK.Graham_Devon wrote: »So is the rest of the UK pretty much, but it's not endless attempts at convincing others and threads telling others that aberdeen is rising in price.Graham_Devon wrote: »I'm genuinley interested in why we have to look at so many graphs, provided by two people who live there, and everywhere else in scotland that may be discussed is written off as meaningless.
Why do those outwith Aberdeen have such a fixation on the area.
Why do people from outside Aberdeen make such posts as this when the topic of Aberdeen had not been discussed in the thread previously?Graham_Devon wrote: »The man is wrong. He does not say that Aberdeen will of course survive any world disaster

LOL, Hamish will be making his way around Aberdeen

The second ones the jobs "could be" created at "some time".
The third one is to power homes in Aberdeen. So obviously these jobs will not be created, as Aberdeen has it's own microclimate, microeconomy, microhumans, and micro everything else. So it's going to have it's own far better power too.
There are probably loads more as above where you are the first to bring Aberdeen into the discussion, however I think you get my point from the few shown above:wall:

Because it annoys them to see house prices back to peak in any area.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I'm dissapointed but not surprised that Graham did not answer the question posed.
He certainly has critisized people for this in the past.:wall:
