    Maybe they've found a way of working out who the least successful person was at predicting house prices and eliminated him. ;)

    All this does somewhat amuse, with both "parties" trying to go down the one upmandship route about who was correct.

    The only thing I wanted to say is that last year, we were only allowed to look at the YOY figure from Dec - Dec. Why? Because some had called stagnation. Therefore, year to date figures were to be ignored. And woe betide you if you did post them to show year to date figures were negative as it didn't count.

    However, this year, only year to date figures are to be concentrated on. Why? Because year to date figures right now look like they could break into positive teritory.

    All a lot of nonsense really isn't it?

    All this justifying to each other how silly other people are and follow up responses, pointing out other forums etc etc etc is all just pyscological. Group therapy if you like, to make people feel better about themselves.

    Agreed. People like Hamish, Sibley, Julieq, geneer, all just come across as extremely pathetic in their house price (c0ck measuring) contest.

    If house prices really mean that much to people, they need to get a hobby.
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    That's not how I remember it.

    Some may suggest you're just not happy due to the current figures not saying what you want them to.

    Hey Rinoa. What do you think of the current figures then? :)
