Bleak article from the Guardian with Dickensian Overtones

Guardian: Bleak house market threatens hard times for UK consumers

Stuffed full of gloomy economic and housey-housey statistics and comes to the conclusion that 'it may be years before the happy-go-lucky days of the Brown boom are restored', though IMO Brown and Boom now seem quite distasteful when used together.

"Brown tells Britain to prepare for 'global financial turbulence' in 2008" - interesting because in a similar article in todays Times they state "There is also a rising danger of a sharp correction in house prices, with Howard Wheeldon, senior strategist at BGC Partners, forecasting a fall of up to 15%"

The article seems to be saying: - OK, we had a nice boom, now it's time for a bust. This site has argued that for at least the 18 months I've been looking at it - nothing new.

The only question remains...How big a bust?
