Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

    Ha! Why do you need a poll to see if this forum is representative of the nation!?

    We are a forum of loons! Even the poll has been sabotaged by someone with far too much time and far too little an excitement threshold.

    So with 100 responses in, the breakdown is as follows:

    Less than £15K a year - 19.00%
    Between 15K and 24K - 16.00%

    Between 25K and 34K - 13.00%
    Between 35K and 44K - 8.00%

    Between 45K and 60K - 15.00%
    Between 61K and 75K - 8.00%

    Between 76K and 100K - 6.00%
    Over 100K
    15.00%

    Quite interesting.

    I shouldn't think that 103 different people have visited this forum in the last year, let alone since you started this thread.

    I think the number of regular posters is 40-50 Plus another 20 or so sockies.

    But a lot more people than that pop in occasionally, particularly if the top thread in the board has an topic of wider interest beyond house price debate.

    Don't be naive Hamish. Your poll has simply been sabotaged, and no, I haven't got a clue what kicks someone would get out of doing that. Either way, to manage so many logins takes some effort....effort which unfortunately is being used in the wrong way.

    Hamish comes across on many of his posts that he believes he is better than most of us. He certainly believes he knows more about houses, the economy , gold and silver etc.

    He was so right about there being no double dip recession:rotfl:

    It's well known that a lot of people like to exaggerate about their income and pretend they are earning huge salaries (over 100k a year) when the reality is a tiny fraction of that total.
