    Oh Dear: Doomed !

    headlines from yesterday's Times...

    House prices fall at fastest rate since 2005

    Soaring repayments to hit Britons next year

    Seaside towns feel the chill of bonus slump

    'R’ word makes leftovers hard to digest

    Profit from the falling markets

    A plague on houses

    Quit shares for cash, investors told

    This little piggy left the stock market

    Boom over for property funds

    The end of ultra-low rate mortgages?

    What to do when you just can’t find a buyer

    This could be the time for first-time buyers to take the plunge


    And the weather vane says...

    Oh Dear.

    Milan.

      Good morning milan.

      Interesting that (from The Times), I wasn't aware that house prices fell in 2005.

        Time to pile into Pharmas, Food retailers, Oil cos, and banks, well maybe not banks
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          Remember, in these days of sloppy journalism "fall" means "not rising quite as quickly as last month".

          Boomed.

            It means monthly falls, which I'm pretty sure we did have in 2005. I don't think the bad spell lasted long enough to be become an annual fall. I'd be surprised if we don't have annual falls kicking in by next summer.

              I'm sure they could prop up the hosuing market on their own.

              Hooray for Beenys Bristols!

                I wouldn't mind hosing down Sarah Beeny's bristols either. Or isn't that what you meant?

                  Do they have their own micro-climate?

                    I find the lump on her bottom lip a little off-putting though.
