    Question for you guys? Given that we are in a falling market, what will happen to the myriad new build developments still in progress in most cities? Do you think these developers will still turn a profit?

    I think some developers will experience cashflow problems at the least - expect to see some sites mothballed half-built.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I'd get out of bed for half that 24k:o Its all money and I'd rather earn something than current wage (nothing :o ).

    Have you a full clean driving license? If so come to my area as we are still hiring.
    Ps I do the interviews so that might help as well.

    That's just 100% wrong.

    Maybe you're wrong on house prices as well ;) ?

    I have no idea where you work, but if its a reasonably sized organisation, I doubt your sectaries, admin staff etc are on anything near £28k.

    I love the notion of 'affordable' property this government has

    near me there are 50% shared ownership 1 bedroom flats

    and less than a mile away you could get 100% of a 3 bed semi/terrace for 5k more than the 50% share of a 1 bed flat

    the flats have been on the market since Feb 07, and so far according to the land reg, they haven't sold any of the flats
    It's a health benefit ...

    A quick look through your early threads though has you desperately delving through Tesco shelves to grab a few pennies off ... when you aren't working your 48 hour weeks.

    What are you? A multi-drop delivery driver with a lot of Tesco supermarkets on your route?
