    Fair enough and best wishes to you.

    I know. And thank you. It is most certainly a consideration!

    This made me laugh...I guess there will be a load more of this.."I told you 4years ago they were gonna crash!!" Yeah 70% increases further on you may be right. I sold to rent in january, a downturn would suit. No signs of it round here though.

    There's been a lot of talk of ninjas round here though, no? More sexy than zombies.

    Greenspan is now saying that house prices will drop.
    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:
