Are we there yet?!!

I would say this is definately true, I work on the tills at a big supermarket and the amount of people who are in disbelief at how much their shopping has come to. you also get to see couples give each other dirty looks as if it is some how their fault that they have spent so much. Also I have seen an increase in the amount of people buying food from the value ranges, some people are filling their trolley's with nothing but the value ranges. Many of the customers are not only complaing about the cost of food and petrol, but also how much the general cost of living has increased by. There are a lot of unhappy people out there!!

Hi everyone, I have been addicted to this site since Jan 2005 so I thought that it is about time that i joined. I found this site purely by accident as I was trying to find a cheap way to buy a house on Google. I suppose i couldnt understand why house prices were so high. Anyway this site has been invaluable to me and has taught me so much, especially about finance and economics It has helped me to understand some of the madness that is going on with regards to property. But i think that i have managed to bore my family to tears with all facts and figures that i obtain from this site. I am definately a bear but i must admit i have been wavering recently as to whether will actually see prices reduce, I stongly beleive that his madness connot continue to go on. Thank you to all on this site you have kept me entertained and informed for over 2 years now. There are some that no longer post here (what happened to proprty guru and TTRTR) and there are those who have remained steadfast (realist bear being one of them). I'm sure that i will remain as addicted as ever as this thing starts to unfold.
