Good report....still there will always be knobby estate agents who make out that it is just media hype!

But the really good news is that the pressure is now off for buyers!

This is a couple of weeks old now..

"What's the newest grief?

That of an hour's age doth hiss the speaker;

Each minute teems a new one."

- Macbeth (Act IV, Scene III)

Uncle Tom. In advertising they preach that a message has to be broadcasted 30 times before it is heard. Three months from now should do it.

MSW is articulate but that guy!! If he were an actor what a ham he'd be. Could you see him in the back of the taxi with the young Brando?

Btw off-topic, but in recent years I've detected an increasingly Australian twang to the London accent. It's very noticeable with these two. Does anyone else notice it or is it just a figment of my imagination?

icarus, I can see what you are saying. Is that really the BBC? I thought that it was going to be supermarket sweep at first.
