    Remember August 2005 !:eek:

    Looks like I may have been partly right :rolleyes:
    Finally, the cut in interest rates in August 2005 that is widely blamed for reigniting the housing market may make the MPC more wary of reducing interest rates quickly this time round. After all, the latest data show that housing market activity has only just started to slow. It is clear that recent events have dramatically altered the outlook for interest rates.
