Well, here's a starter for you. I finally managed to sell my house in Cheshire (I had two collapsed chains since April), and accepted 20% less than the asking price. This is the reality. People are only selling when they reduce as nobody is interested otherwise!! And what's more, the EA's don't care or argue since they know the games is up.
As far as I can see, for next year it's as the Status Quo record says, "down, down, deeper and down"!
