I really laughed at that time when the Count of Nowhere accidentally disclosed his name and occupation on here.


Seems he was a so-called "recruitment consultant" in Northampton.

Wasn't Bruce Banner over there the notorious Bruno?, now that was a scary person

Crashy time isn't real he's a figment of our imagination

People just need to bare in mind the philosophy of the crash troll a decade ago was that the UK economy was on the verge of a financial meltdown. The remaining crash trolls left now have gone from predicting an economic to now hoping and wanting one, which is sick in my view.

Pre 2007 there was a good argument out there that a property downturn on the back of a financial crisis was possible, and I enjoyed reading many of the posts that advocated that scenario though not agreeing, used to love grumpgits posts from Motley Fool for example.

The simple reason people don`t flock to HPC anymore is that the ideas are now mainstream, political parties/media are openly saying house prices/rents are too high and targeting landlords for perceived political gain/renter clicks. HPC predicted that a banking crisis would morph into a sovereign debt crisis then into a political crisis. Guess what stage we are at now? If house prices had been allowed to correct when they should have we would never have reached the point of Leave winning the Brexit ref., so I hope all HPI lovers are well prepared for the outcome of Bulldozer Boris trying to save his party.

You're definitely an estate agent, Crashers.

The only bit you left of that rant was an AMEN at the end.

This year, next year and the following years after that will see 300,000 immigrants per year entering the UK, and I cannot see any reason why we cannot follow Japan in population density, has not generally harmed them.
How on earth can anyone not see HPC.com as anything but a failure, the concept of it was for an epic crash, 20 years it has done the very opposite.

I am a little reluctant personally to ever make fun of you like so many other posters here, but to claim HPC is a success, well, you are just asking for ridicule.

While continuing to stoke house prices through Help To Buy etc.

Nobody cares what political parties say. Only what they do matters.

Politicians and the media do not have the power to engineer a house price crash even if they wanted to. Which they don't, because politicians and newspaper editors own houses, often lots of them.

People always say that stuff is too expensive. Nobody ever says that something is "too cheap", unless they are environmentalists or talking about something else that has a negative externality (which doesn't apply to houses). Houses are too expensive, chocolate is too expensive, mobile phones are too expensive. None of this matters because only the person who gets their wallet out gets to decide what something is worth.

The Deutsche Bank still being around stage?

The nut jobs around here (you and AG47) only see things in black and white.
If people don’t agree with you they are a cheerleader.
In reality this isn’t the case, but your limited cognitive reasoning can’t deal with a spectrum of opinion.
I can’t imagine either of you working with others as part of a team.

I think clothing or any product is too cheap if it requires child labour.
Clothing for example.
Does that make me a tree-hugger?
I don’t think so.

To say something is too cheap is usually observing either that it can't possibly be made properly for that money (Primark frocks or Austrian wine for £2 - one made by children, the other using antifreeze), so beware; or that it's underpriced and hence likely to rise in price shortly.

Saying something is too expensive (houses) is usually just entitled bleating.
