    No Graham, prices are naturally stronger in spring/summer and weaker in winter EVERY year.

    Hence why all the indices seasonally adjust.

    Now sure, you can tamper with that if you put a temporary stamp duty change in place or something, but you know full well it's the case so stop with the pedantry.

    It's hardly pedantry to point out that prices didn't fall in any of those years, when you state, and I quote:
    They decline over winter every year.....

    The rate of inflation slows. Nothing declines.

    Apart from last winter?

    And the winter of 2006?

    And the winter of 2005?

    Oh, and the winter of 2004?

    Hold on, the winter of 2003....2002....2001...

    Your not referring to this phenomenon by any chance are you Graham.

    The only question here is, having been faced with the facts on a number of times now, why does Hamish still insist on tableing discredited assertions.

    Like he appears to have done above.
