A favourite anecdotal - if you take the front page of Propertysnake, it used to show 40% at the top and 30% at the bottom. It's now 44% and 34%.

Time to save up a deposit in gold, oil and wheat. Forget pounds. Let's face it, if 60% of UK wealth is property, and property halves, that's 30% of UK wealth evaporated back to what it really is - just so much hot air.

30% deflation can't be a small impact, Gordon. You made the boom, mate, now let me introduce you to the other half of the equation you wrote - it's called "Bust", or, more precisely "turfed out of your precious job by the disillusioned and disenfranchised - the people you sought to insult, control and exploit".

Snookums Bushy Bush has more pressing problems and won't be giving a flying monkey about your demise, no matter how much you think you earned it by pandering to his ego over recent years. Crooks are nothing more than fair-weather friends.

Given that most businesses based in the UK is in services, most of these people can work from home, including myself. Why pay for an office?

In the same vein, why not export the job to lower paid, better qualified, harder working Indians?!

How refreshing, a property sector that is realistic about what next year has in store.

Prices, Upside -10%, downside -20%

Now turning to the commercial sector............
