    Public sector pensions are a good thing. It's paying them that is bad.

    I've corrected your error.

    I'll remember that picture for next time you post some crap up about how "bad" public sector pensions are.

    I do wonder what kind world ruggedtoast lives in I get the impression that he has wealthy parents and never has to venture out into the real world to see how most of us have to live.

    Great day?

    What are you on, going on the last 3 months if that was to continue you would be looking at nearly -30% yearly nominal.

    Early days yet I admit, but the spring bounce is nearly here, that should give a good indication for the rest of 2012.

    But without the necessary equity in an existing property. Many people are unable to bridge the price gap to move up the ladder.

    Which would explain why there are more transactions in a rising market than a falling one.

    Funny that, lately the missus has been doing a lot of searching. Anything liveable comes out at 11 times salary - an above average one at that. Online searching up, actual transactions way down. Move along there, nothing much to see around here.

    Plus it means that you have to move away from neighboursand friends that you could have known for decades. With kids living at home for longer and Grandchildren staying over, it often makes sense for retirees to hold onto family homes that little bit longer than they were planning to.


    Is this your original advice RM, or is it new completely contradictory advice you've just overwritten without telling us? :rotfl:
  • wow, thats 4 posts from geneer now which are all personal attacks and nothing to do with the OP, what a surprise

    it'd be funny if it wasnt so pathetic :rotfl:

    on the upside though, its 4 more thanks from his personal sockie rewired, bringing the self-fellatio thanks count to 3,607 and counting

    happy days :beer: :rotfl:

    Have you noticed that rewired is the only person to thank him. Even his bear mates have abandoned him. He still craves attention though, did you see the desperate comment he made when he quoted me? You can almost hear the pleading in the text "connect with me, pleeeaaasseee".

    Sorry geneer, I can't be bothered mate, you're not worth the candle. I've had a good laugh at your expense with the house buying thing, but you're a one trick pony - all you do is try and insult people to drag them into an argument and get yourself some attention.

    You're so desperate and needy it's, frankly, rather creepy. :eek:

    what will be the express headline?

    "asking prices soar by -0.8%"?


    HOUSE PRICES TO SOAR

    Experts say 44 million property searches in first 10 days of 2012 on Rightmove means welcome news for homeowners as prices will soar in 2012 by 26.9%

    Editors note: we mean it this time. Please disregard what we wrote every month in 2010 and 2011
    Maidstone Prices - average reductions at 8.5% (£19,668) Feb 2012 - We thought the dudes were not allowed to drop prices?
