    I think it's got something to do with economics - manufacturing, services, jobs etc - stuff politicians pretend to know about. I once head a marvelous quote "Economic theory is like a stopped clock - which is right twice a day - so too economic theory is correct - it's just down to timing":cool:

    As someone who got £60k less for his house than he'd have achieved the year before, I'd agree.

    However, selling at a bad time, makes buying again rather exciting.
    As economist, Alvin Hall, said, "Buy when others are fearful."

    It worked for me. Now I live in a place where the local garage mends old things and doesn't give up on 15 year old cars. They will source 2nd hand bits and get just about anything running again, as they have to, with farmers and their pick up trucks from the early 1990s.

    The mower lives! :D
