they produce these reports using a ruler, and a soft pencil. They draw a line from the low to the high, estimate how much more 'x axis' they need, and then make a pontification about it. Never trust someone who takes a salary to make 'financial recommendations' to you. If they were any good, they'd be out there, making a fortune, like Martin. what is a financial advisor?The perfect financial storm is brewing...!0

To be fair they aren't saying it IS going to happen!
The startling research from Stroud & Swindon reveals that, if house prices continue to follow the current growth trend, first-time buyers in London will be paying £1m by 2018.
I really can't see why everyone is getting upset by it! :rotfl:0 -

IMHO I definately don't think this madness can continue and the more I read utter tosh like this the more deluded and depressed I get with britain. I am seriously beginning to hate living here and everything about it. House prices are out of reach for many FTB's, the british have turned into greedy selfish people and you can't even stick up for your own property without being kicked and punched in the head until you take a fateful blow that kills you leaving behind 3 daughters (man aged 47 in Warrington on Friday).
I hope the house of cards comes tumbling down thick and fast cos I have just about all I can take of this sh!te now.. gggrrrr. Definately one of THOSE days today.0 -
Come on guys, You can't take Sky seriously! They're great for breaking news. For insight and analysis........In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0
