Maybe it's like those old ebay xbox scams, if you check the small print of the contract it'll say you've only bought the drawing of a house

I thought this was going to be a thread about the date in the calendar year when, ignoring all other costs, the average shop has made enough money to pay its annual rental charge.
Don't think that's due for another 5-6 months.

Bingo!
Bankers are like bakers - they don't make bread to keep, they make bread to swap for something else.
Their 'dough' becomes worth less the longer they hold onto it too.
AS I said before if you believe so strongly play gold price options with me, offer me todays spot price in 2013. But you won't because you know you're wrong.
Don't want to be greedy so put me down for 1 ounce at £960 - and remember to keep some change for the £1000 note I'll be paying with.

I doubt your average council offices would have much to fear from a horde of hungry zombies...

I did a google image search for cretinism to find a portrait suitable for our leaders. In the cretinism image search a picture of David Cameron came up.
I am quite sure a year ago Gordon Brown would have been the top result.
The pictures change, nothing else.

We have - or had - one near here. Heard a rumour last week they didn't have the money to pay staff for this month, then yesterday they announced the store would close today.
They probably wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway as a new supermarket is under construction nearby which should finish off a few other independent retailers here.

A million empty houses and many of them end up like this because the owners are too greedy.

But we even had fraud boosting the demand side - liar loans, etc. These must be curbed, surely.
In a true free market the lenders making irresponsible decisions would have gone bust, the investors/savers who provided their money would have gone looking for those responsible and the remaining banks/lenders would have tightened their lending to make sure they didn't suffer the same fate. Yes it would have been painful for some in the short term but there's a reason it hurts when you hit your thumb with a hammer.
-
Removing HB and SMI would be a good start. Lending criteria would distort the housing Market, but if there's no bailout for the banks, lending should also be a free Market.
With bailed out lenders and planning restrictions it's hard to imagine a more manipulated/regulated market.

(Up to Q3 2009. I couldn't find a newer version.)
I wonder why.

Well my little brain interpreted it as satire -
because if they are actually serious then god help us.

Sorry Injin but I agree, it's a satire and the problem is not the writer but that the world in which we now find ourselves makes her apparent opinion so credible.

We'll get a nice sharp 'crash' and this will be used as the pretext to kick off yet another round of QE with the justification that the last lot did good but wasn't quite enough.
Should provide a great buying opportunity for those with a bit of financial nous and the available capital. Of course, these boom/bust cycles are getting ever shorter and shorter now so the game is very nearly up.
The only way they can sell QE3 is to let the D-monster out for a bit to stomp around, maybe flatten a couple of banks buildings. After a couple of weeks we'll be begging for printy.

Just out of curiosity, what does the UK manufacture on a large scale any longer?
Chavs.

Could you imagine JD and Krusty in the same studio?

This really is excellent news, for a moment there I thought we were fukced...
It takes a great mind to solve a debt problem with even more debt - so obvious when you think about it and nothing can possibly go wrong either!
You can almost smell the genius of Gordon Brown behind it
(Note: it wasn't easy typing the above, had to disconnect brain for a few seconds)
The only question left now is will Germany go for the 100th anniversary European tour on 2014?.

apart from the daft post at number #2, which is obviously a wind up.
From somebody in Thailand?
I wonder who that might be?

I can't help buy think that we are moving into some kind of Sci Fi futrue, liek Soylent Green, where the masses live in poverty serving the super-rich - and looking with envy towards their ivory towers.
You're not the only one to notice - this is just one post from today:

Don't worry prices are still going to hell in a handbasket, they're just taking the scenic route.

Sorry wrong year!
It's easy to lose track, we've been waiting so long for the crash.

Is that a giant Mervyn King they've used there?
King size
Seriously they show the effect of .75 and 1% rates as though they're extremes?. Bring back 5-10%. (Yes I know they can't).
