    Boomed

    Factor in falling unemployment (govt figures), low inflation of 2.1% (govt figures), falling interest rates and rising immigration (uncontrolled), we should be giga-boomed for the next 50 yrs at least.

      "A survey by the headhunter Morgan McKinley has revealed that 71 per cent of those employed in financial services expect a bonus as high or higher than that of last year."


      -he ought to have said "...71 per cent of those still employed..."

        So if they get sacked shortly before the bonuses are due, do they no longer get them? What a shame that would be.
        Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

          Phew, that property crash was rough but we seem to be on the up and up now. Equity release scheme, anyone?

              Sorry, I'm colour blind. Must have put a red top on by mistake.

              Almost as bad as the time I put a green one on. Went on a rampage through town throwing rotting veg at any passing 4x4.

                  We highlight the story of Tamsin Barks, a Sussex vet who was persuaded by a property seminar company that she could make a fortune by investing in new-builds. She bought seven properties, including one in Manchester, but estimates her total losses after costs at £350,000.


                  Thats what the text "Warning: The value of investments may go up as well as down" means then.

                  0% sympathy here love. Jog on.
