    So 20% in London, and surrounding area, and an awful lot less for the rest of the country, must have taken them ages to work that out....

    Brilliant.

    You've managed to sum up everything that's wrong with people simplifying data and drawing completely incorrect conclusions from it. This is probably the best example I've seen to date.

    Take it worldwide while you're at it. Then we'll have complete nonsense figures that are meaningless!

    People in East Africa will have to put a 10,000% deposit down to afford the average property in the world... blah, blah...

    I take it you're not too hot on irony.

    Good job I didn't listen to the losers on this forum a few years back or I would now be stuck renting and well and truly priced-out!
