However, that doesn't matter, as long as they can say 'I told you so'

Ah, those ones, they were predicting a crash before the last recession started in earnest in 2008. London house prices didn't go up in the last 6 years, did they? :rotfl:

Still, when the crazies are multiplying, it's definitely a sign that things are moving in the deeps. 2015 will be an interesting year...

Re: The house prices it depends how you/the agent are marketing, if it needs work, the price reflects this and its listed as such i don't think its an issue.

We bought a do-er upper but it was advertised as such, and many of the faults pointed out during viewings! I think people come unstuck when they try to get top dollar that's not justified.

All that said the market is a mysterious thing at the moment, some friends had theirs valued at £115-120,000 they told the agents they needed £135,000 to buy their 'dream house' two declined to list it at that price but one agreed and it sold within 2 weeks at full asking!!

Same thing happened with my Mum.

And she sold it privately so not even any agent fees.

Oh dear. I hope the bonkers stuff doesn't impinge on your family time. My year 9 class were disgusting.

No idea on the house sale bit having just offered on a flat for investment that was deep mustard and vile bright pink paint job throughout, a brown bathroom suite, no tiles on bathroom floor - just concrete - and a kitchen last touched circa 1970. The estate agent said it was vintage :rotfl: Made a reasonable offer estate agent thought only to be bumped by someone offering £10,000 over asking price!! Weird world

Vintage!LOL.

This week I have argued with a B target student who insisted 0.21 was bigger than 0.4

and set cover work for seven classes for four weeks

and it is still Tuesday.

Well, duh! 21 is bigger than 4, innit!

My Y12 made the most appalling pig's ear of a practical this week, and it's the final practice for their assessment, too. I am just so relieved that in their real assessment the only lengths they will have to measure will be horizontal, because none of them has the first idea of how to measure anything that's hanging from a clamp stand! :wall::wall::wall:
