    Sorry about that.
  • Land registry YOY has changed from -3% or so recently to just -1.3% now.

    Following the same trajectory as Nationwide (now year on year positive), just delayed a few months. :)

    Scotland, as everybody knows, are having to consider independence just to keep you lot out of the land of milk and honey.:D

    We've subsidised you for the last 4 decades. :)

    Apparently it comes with a free season ticket for Middlesborough FC. Otherwise it'd be £18,000.

    I'll get me coat.
