You've admitted to renting a room in the past but I must admit I don't know your age but as you claimed to have sold a property in the 90s I thought you would be in your 40s.

Where I am in 1999 you could have bought a reasonable 3 bed for £80k so with a 25 year mortgage you would now owe about £34k. Mortgage payments about £420 a month. That house would have sold for about £290k earlier this year. I don't think I have to say anymore.

Mmmmm... I will believe that when I see it.....:rotfl:

Got any links to media articles about rising UK house prices? Recent ones.

Since you sold in the 1990's do you mean .....?

You'd like to see what I've just looked on rightmove sold house prices for a road I know and used those figures. Not saying the same is going to happen over the next 17 years but it's happened over the time you've been renting.

Still doesn`t help someone who completed in London the week before Brexit though does it?

We're back to having the North Atlantic Peso.

The macroeconomic data over the next year will be interesting to follow. The first dataset to show any changes should be the retail sales data. FDI will follow behind. Anyone that thinks that Wells Fargo went from Due Diligence to completed puchase in the few weeks since the Brexit vote is dreaming.

For those that are interested in these things, the purchase of this building will result in the sale of 4 others across London in which Wells Fargo are currently located. It seems unlikely that there is going to be much in the way of net investment that comes out of this deal.

I don't understand your thinking - you describe yourself often as a Libertariian but want the UK to be shackled to the protectionist EU. Back in 1975 the EU was the only free trade game in town in a protectionist world. But this is 2016. The world is our oyster!

Are you a Liberatian who only wants to free trade in ETA? Nafta?

You're right...in 2016 there are many more free trade areas than in 1975:

Eurasian Economic Union
CARICOM
Mercosur
Gulf Cooperation Council
CAFTA
NAFTA
CISFTA
And others

Why did we decide to leave the one in Europe again?

NO, that's the ones that get caught

LED technology has got a lot lot cheaper over the years. Its possible to grow veg for very little power.
Hydropinics also gives a much higher yield than soil grown plants.

Really?
"LEDs look ultra-bright because they are small and emit all the light in one direction. This is great if you want to grow a single blade of grass and not much help for most anything else. LEDs are extremely low power because they are small and emit very little total light. This means you need a lot of them to grow anything useful and then they use a lot of power. NASA has experimented with LEDs because they are small, light, and nearly indestructable. None of these features are particularly valuable to the average plant grower. Many LEDs emit a very narrow range of light wavelengths, which means they can be calibrated to emit only the light most useful for plants. That's exactly what a GRO-LUX lamp does and the fluorescent GRO-LUX does it about five times more efficiently."

I though you were oh no you live in that strange land where you can rent a flat for less than you could rent a room for 20 years ago.

Today, 23BN per year of your taxpayers finest £ goes on housing benefit. So maybe many types of people can rent a flat for the same in real terms as that room 20 years ago.

I have used the HPS and CFL versions of growlux lamps.
They output both blue and red spectrum of light.
Its far better to use a metal halide (blue spectrum) for veg and a HPS (red spectrum) for flowering.

That's a great cut and paste by the way You do realise you quoted a MYTH

If you buy LEDs with the correct colour temperature and have enough lumens for the plants you want grow then its more than feasible.
Lumens drop off the higher the light source is from the plant. For growing lettuce your not seeing such a loss as the plant is small in height.

Lets not also forget that its possible to grow say tomatoes all year round in the uk in a heated greenhouse using hydroponics.
