I bet you fell for one of those, 'Buy now, pay nothing until the year 2050 and then get 0% interest over the next 50 years, with a 10% deposit schemes'?????

I hope you have collected it ...................... cos these deals have a habit of disappearing along with the shops!!

Get a cushion .... you'll be sitting on it!!

Could be due to a credit (really debt) bubble wholeheartedly encouraged by one G. Brown, Her Majesty's Chancellor Of The Exchequer?
Oh dear, not very stable things bubbles.
I quote "No more boom and bust".
Sorry, economic cycles can't be magiced away.

At least it is an easier subject than discussing 82 year old men being hustled out of the Labour conference by big fat thugs and being held under the Terrorist Act PSL!

Probably because no-one can afford to buy new furniture, after all the new taxes/huge-over-the-rate-of-inflation-council-tax-rises that have come in since 1997.

You all call for 'strong-arm' tactics ..... then when you get them you start bleeting!

They are purely applying the procedures close to home before rolling them out to the rest of the country.

Have you ever thought that the 82year old, Mr TareK Aziz, could have been a diversionary tactic whilst a younger member of a terrorist organisation attacks the Government???

Don't put us old codgers down, at 77 I can hold my own, and often beat - you whipper snappers on here!! So, don't judge a book by how long it has been in print!

Yet house sales have just gone up with the biggest rise in almost a year and a half.All you closet tories that are begging for a recession (as selfish as that seems,but thats the right for ya) will be disappointed.
