The WORST house price predictor of all time...

“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

    Hamish, you are in danger of simply spamming the forum sadly.

    Who is Jonathon Davis ?

    I vote that this is one of the most pointless polls I have ever seen on this forum.
    30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.
  • Only three choices? Isn't there an obvious one missing?

    er...... yourself?

    Interesting.

    Jonathon Davis currently has twice as many votes as the other candidates. However, he has two votes, the other two have just one vote. It's also worth mentioning that there have only been two voters, one of which voted for all three choices.

    I'm sure Hamish will be able to make some sort of point out of these statistics.

    Please add "I have not got a clue", "I don't care"

    Useless poll I must say though.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.
