Slumdog !!!!! is right. You are trying to get above your station.

i do like your slumdog ghuols persona, and the transparent way in which it says you are right and you say it is right.

however, i can't help thinking the superiority complex you seem to have managed to build up is a little strange. you do seem to have convinced yourself that you are a member of the 'landed gentry', entirely by virtue of having a bog standard BTL property in maidstone. have you discovered some new drugs or something?

Sibley

it's more fun to watch them wish/hope/pray [Delete as appropriate] that they try to convince themselves they've been right all along.

I know what you mean and I did enjoy that as well.

Really though, the internet is giving these people credibilty that I doubt they would get in a face to face situation.

On here they can be all opinionated because nobody knows them or their situation.

How would you feel if you found out Graham Devon was actually a hot dog seller from Taunton and Geneer was working packing apples in box's on a farm in Belfast?

We have no way of knowing who or what they are and I'm fed up arguing with them.

Bottom line.

When we had the credit crunch they said house prices would drop up to say 70%.

They didn't.

I've suffered all the false dawn arguments. The hip hip hoorays when prices go down 1% then the doom, gloom and stupid explainations when they rise. It's boring. It's all been said.

At the start the bears did have a chance of a house price crash. I admit that.

Once the government stepped in it was obvious it wasn't going to be allowed to happen. They have done it once and will also do it again if need be.

If your a home owner you are on the winning side. MP's own property. They won't be losing their dosh I promise you.

You sound like a man on the edge, Sibley

Yes, I am on the edge.

The edge of jacking all these boards in.

The people left dreaming of a house price crash are just the bottom feeders. The ones who had a good argument gave up long ago.

Look at the HPC heros.

Realist Bear. Said he bought a house at cut price 40%. BS.

Bruce Banner. Twisted sad loser. Keeps on about 70% off but nothing to back it up.

Dr Gloom. Went into frenzy mode then stopped posting.

The ones I hated have all crashed and burned. I'm not bothered about whats left.

i do like your slumdog ghuols persona, and the transparent way in which it says you are right and you say it is right.

If you think that's me you are crazy. I can hardly be bothered to post under one name.

are you discounting your rent from the amortisation of the repayment of capital for your future mortgage?

Chasing your tail yet again I see. Seems other posters can have you spinning around with ease.

Also ignoring my questions I see. Did get a little close to actually having a debate, which would of been novel for you, I grant you that.

Sibley mate, your argument is tosh. The fact you couldn't care whether anyone else is able to buy a house or not gives us an insight into why you don't understand it.

I'm director of a startup, getting funding initially was a pain in the backside. People don't want to invest in the UK, the reason - the cost of labour here is too high thanks to HIGH HOUSE PRICES and the returns too poor given the size of the country.

Fortunately we were able to expand our technology to North America and make a business case for it, but had to go through hell to get there

You wouldn't understand any of this because the overall picture for you is miniscule, you haven't taken stock of the changing world over the past decade

The upshot is to be competitive the housing market must crash and the cost of housing must be reduced. It's either that or sterling will go through the floor. You seem to want the latter to happen, well I tell you, if it does, last thing you will be worried about is the price of some poxy 2 bed in maidstone

Nice assumption, I get that all paid for by my company since I spend more time abroad than here. P.S. I won't be having a mortgage either - another waste of money

debate with you is pointless Mr Muddle.

you move the goalpost quicker than [STRIKE]carolt[/STRIKE] Brit1234 switches user name.
i'd give you a little but more time and credibility if you didn't try to act the clever man instead of the little guy that gets involved in things that don't concern him...

what would you like an answer to; "Is the housing market now sorted out", that's a bit stupid asking that because it's never sorted out, at what point in modern times has it ever been 'sorted out'?

go on, try and answer that one Mr Muddle...

1998.

(This also coincides with a time in which we made stuff, unsurprisingly)
