Ah ha! How's Aberdeen faring? Powering the Scottish housing market I trust.

Interesting to see London prices falling. I might be tempted to move back if prices fall another 90% or so!!!

You might think again if you have a look at our current weather. Do you find the heat anywhere near as bad as our cold winters?

The heat is worse than the cold IMO, even the wet/humid cold that England has. You can always put on an extra jumper in the cold but there are only so many clothes you can take off!

I'm fine with the weather up to 38C: I've cycled 200km on a 38C day and while I drank a lot of water (about 8 litres plus a few energy drinks) I was fine. My body really doesn't like it when it gets north of 40C, that's just unpleasant and I dehydrate very fast, even just loafing around. In Sydney you get a day hotter than 40C in one in 3 summers, probably about as often as it snows properly in London.

The thing I hated about English winters was the short days. I was in a permanently bad mood from October to March. I love those long summer evenings but it simply isn't enough to make up for the short winter days. I often wonder if I used to suffer from SAD.

The snow annoys me though: it's slippery and dirty. It looks nice for a couple of hours and then just becomes a pain in the Aris. We get snow in Aus (not just in the Snowy Mountains) but never in Sydney. They had snow in Tassie just after the fires there this year. Snow in January!

Good work on the weight loss BTW (I think I said that before). Cycling is great for weight loss.

See you have been up fretting all night again Hamish, I love my bed this time of the year when it is freezing outside, it makes my bed so much more cosier.

Thanks for the data though, shows clearly what most people are saying, apart from a few areas like south west and Scotland(which most ppl do not give a Hoot) most areas are falling, some quite modestly.

Seriously mate, try and get out into the fresh air once in a while and stop getting too obsessed.

Ahem.

I'd like to know how many houses were sold though, to make up the data. Is the data set a small dataset, with large variations. I dunno. Seems to go against the Land Registry though.

It's faring well, and indeed it is.

Aberdeen exceeded the previous peak a couple of years ago and has continued climbing since.

But great news to see the rest of Scotland also doing well now, as of course rising house prices are great news for the wider economy.

Yeah Hamish. Otherwise before you know it you'll be spamming politicians, banking institutions and minor celebs with abuse from your twitter account.
You want to approach things in a nice level headed way and it seems hsw is just the person to offer copious amounts of advice on this

Fretting? Heavens no....

Although I can see why you'd be so rattled with these kinds of price rises you'd be desperate enough to try and attack the man, not the ball.

I quite enjoy a wee dram late at night with Mrs McT on a weekend, and seeing such good news on the internet, I just had to share it.... :rotfl:
