    I don't know anyone that hasn't had a pay rise this year.

    I don't know anyone that has stopped spending on the high street.

    I don't know anyone that is particularly worried about their job security.

    I do know a lot of people that want to buy houses though... And are only being stopped by mortgage rationing. When that eases, and it will, there will be the most almighty boom as pent up demand is unleashed on a market starved of sufficient buillding.

    So every single person you know has had a pay rise?

    Every single person you know isnt worried their job might be lost at some stage?

    What a load of sh*t.
    Exactly how many people do you know? Not got many mates eh?

    Keep hoping for those liar loans and 100% mortgages ;)

    That was over 4 years.

    Next headline will be "House prices to blast off 26% over 6 years".

    omg, the express is only 10p?

    I think that says a lot for the calibre of people writing for it.

    No, the Express isn't only 10p. I think that says a lot for the calibre of the people thinking it is.:p

    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    Is this a trick question?

    My answer would be desperation.

    However that also appears in the blue box, top right. It also makes an outstanding appearence on most of the front cover.

    Believe it says "10p cheaper than the Mirror" but will check when I am next in a newsagent.

    What has cracked me up is the HPC response to the Express no allowing any comments today.
    They are spitting feathers. :rotfl:

    Deal with it.

    You stopped bulls allowing comments on your website a long time ago.

    Now you know how it feels.
    All those homeowners reading the story and feeling all smug.

    Nobody around to give them the true facts eh? :rotfl:
