    I am here because?

    Where is the option.

    1) Because arguing with strangers in the street can get you in trouble.
    2) I brought some silver and have to try and sell it quick
    3) I have an OCD
    4) It's a F'ing good question, Why am I here.

    That would be my option too. Though I do like chatting about the economy. It's very rare I even look at threads about house prices (sorry Hamish).

    Me too, but by default. I like the nice people A LOT and would still visit if it were (and when it is) just for that thread.

    I like the economics stuff, I feel I have learned a lot but each little bit one ''gets'' prompts 20 more questions! e.g. the one I asked the other day.

    I am fascinated by house prices and our national obcession with them too. Its hard not to be, it IS an important social and political issue in UK.

    I asked for advice on the sensible forum a while back and got dragged here out of boredom. Where is that option?

    I couldn't vote as unable to find -
    "Buying with an excellent tracker mortgage, living comfortably, whilst overpaying watching our debt fall every month" option.

    I was also looking for that option.

    That or "I'm bored at work and this place makes marginally more interesting reading than the [STRIKE]Jeremy Kyle Board[/STRIKE] Moneysaving in Marriages and Families"
