And so we’re told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you be with you night and day Nothing changes, New Years Day, on New Years Day.

What he really wanted to say was: "Let's not pretend - There's a housing boom" The headline was intended to be a sublimal message to the masses.

People might see and at some level be influenced by those headlines not because they are dumb, but just because they are there, and indeed given undue prominence on the BBC website. The viewer may not have the time to read the full story. I've noticed that news about rising house prices is generally given higher prominence (e.g. included on main news page and leading story on the business news page) whereas news about falling house prices is given lower prominence (e.g. no mention on main news page and tucked away at bottom of business news page). And the headlines always provide a positive spin on the news (to those who subscibe to the view that rising house prices are a good thing). Why was the headline for this news "House prices increase by 0.4% in August" or similar - that is the real news.

I don't see any anti BBC hysteria. Most people will only read the headline "UK house prices rise at fastest rate since 2010". As cool_hand says, the BBC are TW*TS.

Hello I am in a similar position, my 6 month period expires in a week or so. Last week I received letter from Agent basically saying do you wish to renew for 6 months, or receive a Section 21 :angry: I've sent back a letter (also copied to LL) politely stating by preference is to extend as a periodic tenancy. My intention is to enter into no further communication on the subject (due to the tone of the letter received from the Agent). I will let you know what happens!
