Ironic that you are accusing others of having sock-puppets...
I can't think of any reason why Hamish would need a sock puppet, or perhaps I too am a sock puppet of his? It would be a shame if I was as I quite like my life, I wouldn't like to find out I was just a figment of someone's imagination. According to Carolt I am a sock puppet of chucky, guess you'll have to argue that out with her.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

So you think this was a serious poll rather than an equally silly one purely to demonstrate that exact point? This place is worse than I thought (your post actually got thanked too). If you think I am a socky of Hamish you better argue that out with Carol as she thinks I am a socky of chuckyChuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

And a public poll so Carol's multiple sock puppets can post if they like, but we'll all know.

So you'd rather reward the banksters and pay for their record bonuses, than allow someone's dear sweet old granny to have a slightly more comfortable retirement?
Bizarre....
What is bizarre to me is the assumption that the only people profiting out of huge house price rises are sweet old grannies
To be honest I don't care who is 'rewarded' by my expenditure on housing, what I do care about is that my expenditure on housing is as low as possible. In my circumstances I would spend less with the higher rates/lower prices of the past, rather than the lower rates/higher prices of today.0 -

Not half as ironic as being accused of sock puppetry by a sock puppet.“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.”
