HTB: "Well timed and targeted" says ITEM, "little risk of bubble"

.....And we never had several years of 20-30% HPI. We had 2, at best.

A glance at Nationwide data allows me to quote "both" occasions:

1971: 20.73%
1972: 42.42%
1973: 23.96%
1978: 27.93%
1979: 30.58%
1988: 29.06%
2002: 25.30%

Hamish will no doubt claim that's 7 times, but you and I know that it's only 2.

He said the early years of the previous boom. I.e. 1997 onwards (unless you have suddenly altered history?). You should try glancing at what Hamish wrote, rather than rushing in.

In the early stages of the last boom we had several years of annual HPI somewhere between 20% and 30%.

We didn't, we had 2 in the early stages of the last boom.

Just love how you will do almost anything to back Hamish up, regardless of how far you need to twist things.

As you said only yesterday when a poster was doing this to you.... "It seems a bit perverse to twist what I said and then disagree with that".

I thought it rather apt, and wasn't long until I could use your own words in response to your posts. Pot, kettle?
