  1. Well the way you phrase your question gives a clue as to what you are looking for in terms of an answer - are you genuinely interested, or only interested in "actually it's not going too well for me/friend/neighbour/bloke down pub who bought in Bansko" type replies so that you can gloat?

    Apart from wallowing in these kind of replies in order to affirm to yourself that you are the superior human being - what's the point of a question like this?

    Have you bought a flat in Bulgaria?

    It 'll be the next big thing for compensation demands.

  2. I can't stand James and Petrie. Shame Nick Abbot's not on earlier, as has a much better view on things IMO.

    Agreed re Nick Abbot. I'd be stunned if he does not read/post on this site, most nights he sounds like a radio version of hpc.co.uk.

  3. I have heard miracle economy used a lot when describing the uk over the last 5 years, but who actually coined this phrase? and what do they mean by it?

    Do they mean we have actually nothing going for us but the economy is getting stronger?

    There is no such thing as a miracle.

    Either its luck, magic (a trick slight of hand) or there are plenty of suckers out there wanting to believe.

    I seem to remember once on the BBC after a gordon brown budget in 2003 one of the commentators describing the uk as a miracle economy.

    Heard Frederick Forsyth slagging off Brown many years ago doubting his tag as the 'miracle chancellor', well before 2003 I think. He was really getting stuck in, of course nobody was interested then!

  4. I wish you didn't seem to be so pleased about it.

    A lot of peoples' lives are going to be devastated.

    It is the lenders who should suffer - not the poor saps who bought into the impossible dream.

    That is why I have no hesitation in recommending bankruptcy to people as a viable option

    What rubbish, hound them down for every last penny, no lets be 'compassionate' - call it 98%.

    Scrap/sell their X5, Boxster, Plasma TV, Hot tub, Gucci stuff and all of the other tat they have aquired with phantom money. It was never their money in the first place. If not savers will bail them out.

    Let them eat cake!

  5. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the bearish-angled BBC R4 World at 1 report.

    I did a little dance and woo-hooed like Homer Simpson.

    R4 1400 news had what sounded like Justin Urqhart Stewart squarely blaming the govt. only heard it in the background though.

  6. My road and a few hundred yards either side:

    NOT including those already SSTC - £495, £475, £499, £525, £575, £700, £747, £750, £1.35m and several others I have not followed.

    I have lived here for ten years and have never ever ever seen so many For Sale signs. The norm was one or two a year and then the 'locals' would soon be talking about it and who was moving in.

    Something is definately going on. I felt like a pauper living here thinking everyone was cashed up apart from me (relatively). Maybe it was/is all a fascade?

    :huh:

  7. Or....maybe youre one of those f2ckt4rds who f4rts along in the outside lane at 50mph?

    You have no idea why a person is speeding or flashing or trying to get past.

    You just sit in your lesbian mobile or your Rover trying to impose your view on the rest of society.

    Let me tell you, If I had to get to a hospital or move fast to help a loved one I wouldnt be flashing and beeping at you.

    I'd go straight through you. Without a second thought.

    Go and f4ck yourself you sanctimonious do-gooder.

    And drive on the left while youre doing it, sh1th3ad.

    Such anger, must be a BMW driver.........

    :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Just take your place behind my van and wait, most (all?) cannot do overtakes these days but only tailgate.

  8. It's more drip, drip, drip of negative news though.

    Gradually the mind set is changing.

    Just last year property converations revolved around how much money could be made on BTL. Now most conversations revolve around property crash and higher IR are coming

    I agree. Two years ago hpc talk would be met with laughter now they groan and say 'I hope not. What do you think will happen'.

  9. Local library today - been 'updated' - very plush now.

    Used to have two staff on the desk - now four - all doing nothing but laughing and chatting loudly.

    It's all self-service now using bar code scanners - why the extra staff with nothing to do?

    Council tax bill up by £13 month.

    Of course - 'Investment in services'.

    :angry:
