It was a balanced debate, no signs that Wendy was out of her depth. :rotfl:

Absolutely. They used to do this all the time with Jonathan Davis. Jonathan, who was steeped (with a slight bias) in every single facet of house prices, was put up against the equivalent of a taxi driver who had been waiting in reception to pick someone up. Jonathan could then come out with statements like "Shortage of houses? Just look in your local estate agents, there are plenty of them".

It's quite impressive that Lilico managed to hold his own in a debate against such an academically distinguished opponent.

It must mean that we're now guaranteed another crash.

They are what we use to pick up peas.

The mushy variety I hope not to big down here but my mum loves them.

Yeah the mushy ones.

Not in a carton though, just directly on my chips will do.

I think it shows that the likes of Wendy Evans-Scott get far too much media coverage being portrayed as experts on housing when they haven't got a clue what they are talking about. When in reality we need more people who know what they are talking about rather than vested interest rampers.

I would agree that she gets far too much media coverage, she would be out of her comfort zone doing the Shake and Vac advert.

PS. If you are reading this Wendy I just think you underperformed against Andrew. How about a "That's what you said 8 years ago" riposte.

At the end of the day I doubt many people who watched it care.

The guy came over as somebody with savings just moaning about low rates.

Tough luck. We don't care about the details. We just want low mortgage rates.

Looks like the media is catching up to real life to me.

Can only hide it for so long.
