Another factor feeding into the market ..... all we need now is for the Interest Rate to increase a little and we will see a return to 1990.

Houses for £50k each anyone?

the worry is that neither the inflation or the unemployment figures being issued are anywhere near the truth. both are highly doctored figures issued by our wonderfully trustworthy government.....

You are like my work colleaguei hear this every morning but he also gives the weather report for rain and includes the (Seasonal Affective Disorder)

"recession ****" - you heard it here first!

dpb

ah but this time round the jobs are disappearing from the financial sector and not from manufacturing (what there is left anyway )

Why?
What gives you such great pleasure to see people repossessed?
Sometimes through no fault of their own?

I've been doing a job for a family today that should have cost (quoted for) over £300.
Today was my 2nd day there and this morning the chap told me he'd been given 2 weeks notice of redundancy from Friday.(he only found out last night)
He's got 3 young kids and has worked hard to get his home.
He knows he won't be able to pay his mortgage very soon and unless he finds another job they'll probably loose the house.

Tonight, I've just sent him his invoice for the job I've done and only charged him £150.
I'm not a charity and I've lost out by only charging him that as opposed to the quote we agreed on.

I did it because I felt for the guy and know how hard he's worked all his life. He may be offended at what I've done and may pay me the whole price, but I just felt it was something I should do.

So, why can't you just shut the **** up about getting cheap houses off the unfortunates and do us all a favour?

It's not rocket science..

I know.

Houses didnt lose a deal of value in 1990. They tripled in 1988 and all we saw afterwards was a slow down and a bit of an adjustment.

Why are you assuming the identity of an existing poster? That's trolling, that is.

Coffin.Dodger

It's called HUMOUR ..... Coffin Dodger laughs it off, he knows it's purely fun - I'm sure you know too Bubba, you've always had a wicked sense of humour yourself!

Coffin Dodger

Imitation is the greatest for of flattery....

He's realised what great poster I am so rather than carry on in the normal vain he's decided to copy me instead. What a loser, get your own posting style and user name

Coffin.Dodger

I made a statement of fact that house prices will be really cheap soon - I take no pleasure in seeing people have to downsize from properties they can no longer afford ...... nor do I take pleasure in watching the overstretched having their BMW X5's taken back, their 50" Plasmas repossessed and their expensive foreign holidays curtailed.

But life ain't fair - it isn't easy either and everyone takes responsibility for their own actions, if they have been reckless in borrowing then I have little sympathy.

We need the good old values of thrift to be re-instated ....... end the thoughts of something-for-nothing attitude.

And if the careful can gain from others recklessness, then so be it - that's the grown up world I live in.

Coffin.Dodger

I do like you!

Even though you are an Infraction button pressing loser

davegtt

Theres some good in everybody (other than PSL)

Its not like when everyone imitated Joey off Blue Peter is it

Edit.....

.Coffin Dodger

Coffin Dodger is slower at the Infraction button than I am at re-appearing .... he could read some other thread - but, no, like a moth to a flame he is entranced by my words - OWNED I think the word is??

What would my days be like without being able to play ..... here, fishy, fishy,

I wonder how high the unemployment figures would really be if they did not exempt jobseekers and school leavers from those statistics.

I feel very sorry for those losing their jobs or those with no significant pension.

No, I'm sorry your absolutely wrong. I saw a Government Minister on the TV only last night (BBC as well) and they said they had record employment.

speedking

The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive

FlightMan

Not saying you are an " Infraction button pressing loser " CD, but that comment did make me chuckle.

Come back Pete.

The Chief

If he questions it - which he probably wont, tell him you had misquoted him in the first place, or whatever.

Good man, not many people left like you, i hope you are swamped with loads of work after this sort of generosisty
