Relax Sunday Trading Laws To Help Shops, Mps Say
bendy replied to interestrateripoff's topic in House prices and the economy
I'm not sure I would have picked up 2 discounted gressingham duck breasts at Sainsburys yesterday if they was allowed to open past 4. Keep the restriction I say! -
+1 Not afraid of change, I'm a gambling man - could be better or worse off depending on how I/we vote but as an adult I'll take that responsibility.

Are You Worried About A Rate Rise?
bendy replied to TheCountOfNowhere's topic in House prices and the economy
Fair play for the poll but I doubt this was the place to get a 'national' picture -
Bank Of England Says, No Rate Rise Anytime Soon
bendy replied to TheCountOfNowhere's topic in House prices and the economy
Don't think so - when there are no new entrants to the market there is no market. Such a big part of the system that they've allowed to run amok it's time to start curbing it or else all goes to shit. -
I hope this is right and that there is fear of systemic failure. If 2008 is not by design then it was close then, not of the wrongs have been put right (if anything made worse) and the whole house of cards could be due to collapse again as the next generations confidence in the system dilutes.

Here we go! Banana republic about to be exposed for what it is (houses and insurance)

Logans run probably. I think I've posted (a few) threads on the subject eons back, no-one really knows. There are small pockets of sentiment change (but no regime change) in some people now who have their kids at home that are thirties or forties that can see what damage it's causing (esp. if expecting grandkids). An interesting angle for me (related to the children part) is how to continue to enforce this on the population, if you price out those that are there to protect the sytem (army, police etc.) then there will be a problem. Tip - go long on drone companies!

Psst, An Ea Has Told Me The Secret To Eternal Wealth
bendy replied to spyguy's topic in House prices and the economy
Instant win machines down the bookies! -
This is a good point - coincidence that housing is now poxy units that require people to live fast in the debt ridden consumer lifestyle? I could actually see kitchens becoming a luxury within a few generations. That said, I would assume the fresh/supermarket turnover to be vastly more than the service sector in terms of GDP at present.

Hpcers - You're Just Lazy And Do Not Work Hard Enough

Could they balance transfer the credit debt for x years and hold onto the 16k fund (no surprise it's 16 bang on!) Fair finance nous if so! -
But LL would like 500 quid from you for something you don't use.

What a daft idea, letting the EA's know your salary! Scary how any (possibly real) random FB profile can be picked though and linked to an anonymous forum user. There's a story in that somewhere, or a real life incident that will be a major mistake. -
Housing - Simon Jenkins In The Guardian
bendy replied to tomandlu's topic in House prices and the economy
Great! And one of his points is that buy-to-let is not evil as even the poorest 'rent' from the private market. Doesn't mention HB in his point there though hmmm. -
They were on the phones!

Shame the internet was in its infancy still in '97 - the hysteria would probably be similar about Labour then and look what happened
