In the words of captain Caveman "uh oh, bad time for power failure"..

Looks like we have a trend. I think Q2 and Q3 2007 will retrospectively be known as the start of the [great] house-price crash / second great depression / end of the financial world (depending on your level of optimism).

Did we say April for the party at the Land Registry offices?

I can recommend Jacob's Creek as a delightful but inexpensive (at current prices) champagne (or Laurent Perrier if you have invested in gold). I plan to use spreadshirt.net for the "unmasking" apparel.

I am now becoming a bit worried we will need some hard currency or gold to buy drinks and food for the party

By April or May, God save the Pound!
