09:06 05Mar09 Halifax reports collapsing house prices

(GBP) Halifax reports that its measure of UK house prices fell -2.3m/m in Feb,
after a surprising 1.9% m/m increase in Jan. This is slightly worse than the
2.0% m/m decline predicted by the market and more than reverses the Jan
increase. The annual rate thus falls to -17.7% in the 3mths to Feb, from -17.2% y/y in the 3mths to Jan, which augurs unfavourably for future household spending and for banks' balance sheets. At the margin, this latest development should be seen as GBP -ve.

yep he sold out on sunday 5th, so added saturday 4th

i tried to get some earlier this week, but all they had was about 5 rows from the back

its hammersmith apollo, which is a !!!! venue, and completely the other side of town from me (i'm an essex boy), so i didn't bother

now if he was doing the O2, i'd be there like a flash - that is some venue !

thanks anyway though

don't think so, as we are nowhere near that level anymore.

think its a combination of profit taking and market jitters before BOE decision at 12.00

I'm in the midlands. Rugeley to be precise. Crap hole of an old mining town. The only thing that comes to my town is the plague and tumbleweed.
i've probably seen him on tv there before and it's never registered.
