Bloomberg: BOE's Dale Sees `Painful' U.K. House-Price Adjustment

"Painful"?

Imagine me in my deckchair (or probably sofa, now it's autumn) swigging champagne and laughing.

If that's "painful" I'd hate to be in agony.

If the average house price falls to 3.5 times the average salary then that really will be painful (for those with a mortgage and no equity)!
