    you obviously missed this post from this numpty here... oh dear...

    No I didn`t, the Kleenex innuendo was noted. I`d say that`s banter, rather than direct name calling. I just thought that calling Graham a moron was a bit much. He may have been called worse, but that doesn`t make your previous statement any more pleasant to read.

    Call it tosh if you like...
    The cost of a nursery place for children aged over two rose by twice the rate of inflation last year while childcare for a toddler now swallows half the gross earnings of an average parent in England working part-time, according to a report out today.


    The findings of the annual survey by the Daycare Trust, the national childcare charity, show that despite the recession, nursery fees rose by 5.1%, with yearly parental expenditure in England topping £4,576.

    Remember, thats PER child.

    But with the vast majority of the job losses coming from natural attrition, there won't be the compulsory redundancies required to trigger forced selling.


    Vast majority? Where is the proof to back this up? You taking the governments word for it? And what about the knock on affect for the private sector? Another 500,000 jobs could go

    you probably need to explain to the moron why there was HPI at various points in the last 40 years when lending levels were at low levels...

    actually on 2nd thoughts don't bother - he won't understand, let him have his soundbite

    Dont see any reason why you have to get so abusively rude and call people "morons". :(

    Yes, but Sibley won`t be happy, he told us that house prices would never fall. Is he a friend of yours ? If so, please remind him of what he said.

    it's his middle name

    i don't see why you should feel the need to be a racist and hate anything not white...

    i don't also see the need for you to use multiple user names on this forum...

    i'm sure Dervprof will be along in a moment to say that's all ok though...

    and not forgetting don't who will contribute with a soundbite...
