Debate House Prices

    Lefties.

    Labour supporters that still cant concieve that all our economic woes were caused by their beloved parties policies.

    Rip-off tradesmen again. I fixed my boiler in my new home (was a water component therefore legal) in 15 minutes. Best trades quote I got to fix it was 70 quid, parts not included.

    Cabinent members that have no real-world experience of their portfolio. IE a Labour government that didnt have a single former serving member of the armed forces in its ranks.

    Shopping in Tescos. They change the f**king store around every 6 months I go. There as Sainsburys don't even if I don't shop at their store for a year.

    Shopping in Tesco for me too. Very annoying to visit solely for their home baking 3-4-2 offer when they have clearly increased the prices on most of their home baking products to tie in the the event, and having only 3 remaining of the 1 main thing I wanted :mad:

    What i find annoying is people post on an interweb forum as if their word is gospel

    - Houses will rise in price
    or

    - Houses will fall inprice

    and when that doesn't happen like they predicted they keep making wild !!! predictions until one time they get it right. Then they come off as if they are god when their track record for predicting is rubbish.



    That and people falsely using the profession engineer. Would a solicitor like it if binmen or plumbers called themself 'solicitiors. bin solicitor team, bin solicitiation.

    GASP! Heretic!

    You mean there is NO gospel view?

    Will house prices NOT rise, and NOT fall?

    We need Douglas Adams on this, and he is tricky to contact since he popped his deadline-averse clogs a decade ago. Alas. :A
    Long live the faces of t'wunty.
