Nothing to cause a fall?

Blimey.

Nothing at all?

I was thinking the same.

So everything is OK now ?

The economy is sound, is it ?

There was me thinking that 2011 will see spending cuts,no real improvement is lending conditions, and possibly a rise in interest rates. :doh:Silly me.

Halifax was +1.8% last month. FYI that's 1.79% more than 0.01%.

Erm, and?

That's above, right?

How about answering my other question, rather than getting yourself in a confused pickle over the meaning of "anything above 0.01%"?

Yup. All fine and dandy. ALl the problems have now been sorted, nothing needs to change, and today (well, a few months ago when prices were rising at least) is the way forward.

No falls from now on. There is no reason for it at all. Even people not being able to afford the prices isn't a reason, merely a mute point.

Interest rates won't rise. The way they have been used over the past 100 years, no longer counts, don't you know.

Am I right in thinking people have started to accept the falls will be in real terms?

To save a bit of face that is what most people who were banging on about 50% falls are now saying. That it will be 50% in real terms. I suppose you can't blame them, being so wide of the mark is pretty embarrassing.

You noticed a trend?

I noticed another one. Stagnation appears to be anything between -10% and 0%. So it's difficult for falls to actually be mentioned.

Rises, on the other hand, are anything above +0.01%.

:rotfl::T-10%. I believe that's actually a "soft landing".

The bulls are less vociferous because the argument has been won.

Scotland already returned to the previous peak, and set a new peak. 2010 is the peak year for Scottish house prices.

Though strangely Hamish has been reluctant to discuss the ROS figures just one month later.

As the argument has so clearly been won by the bulls, there's just no point.

Yes, you can sit back, relax, and watch "I`m Desperate To Earn A Few Quid By Eating Parasites, Get Me Out Of Here" on your 46" LED TV*, safe in the knowledge that you can pay off the credit agreement out of the money you`ll be making on your home.


* I assume you rushed out and bought one when you heard everything was going to be OK. If you didn`t, get onto it before they`re all sold.

I`m sure he`ll spill the beans, I mean prime steak with all the trimmings and a glass of very expensive wine, when he digs himself out of the hole, I mean snow he now finds himself in.

Never mind bulls evaporating from the forum.

Old Spamish does seem to regularly vanish from threads, though only when the discussions get interesting.
