    possibly the most embarrasing post ever written on MSE.

    That 7 people have thanked it beggars belief and should be shameful to those 7 people.

    I think I thanked it - found it amusing with all those precise percentages. He has a sense of humour as it was clearly a bit of a wind-up... but which you're taking for real and too seriously?
  • The OP is a fantasist and is churning out propaganda in an attempt to promote his/her own agenda, it is a pack of lies and should be enough to get him/her banned from this forum. Troll or not why should we have to put up with this ? The front page of the forum has the word debate in italics, how can this sort of post be beneficial to a meaningful debate ?.

    Perhaps the Caps Kid, emphasis on the word kid, can tell us which area of the country his favourite EA's is actually in. No?,thought not.

    I have no patience for stooges and trolls and propagandists like Ghouls / Hamish.

    they are an insidious and disingenous presence that should be removed from this site.

    Because you're a massive hypocrite.

    Just spent an interesting afternoon with my friendly local Estate Agent and it appears that not 1 day after the excellent Halifax October HPI results of +1.9% cash rich and first time buyers are streaming back to the market eager to pick up a dream home bargain before prices rocket next year. Basically our rough 'back of a fag' calculations worked out that the SA (seasonally adjusted) TELIN's (telephone in enquiries) were UP +14.2% while ENQIN (walk in enquiries) rose and astonishing +21.2%. While many were waiting in line to speak to the EA's I took the liberty to perform a random straw hat poll to discover why their URGENCY to buy. It appears that while 90% had been waiting for prices to stabilize they now realized this had now finished and that prices were on the precipice of ROCKETING astronomically early next year. On an eve more positive front 62.5% had heard of MSE (moneysavingexpert) and 0.00% of HPC (housepricecrash). So it seems the ghouls arent as influential as they'd all have you believe.

    You are a bit of a t.wat aren't you? I cant believe people have actually thanked this rubbish

    Dr Gloom and Dirk actually show honesty and are never nasty.

    They give earnest opinions but dont use this site to spread lies and propaganda or to try to influence the market itself.

    GHOULS / Hamish tries to use propaganda to serve his own interest.

    As a result he should be removed from this site.
