    The only economic miracle I've seen under new Labour is that I have any money at all left,
    Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

      I think most people are screwed. The markets seem to be regulating themselves.

        House prices only ever go up. Apparently.

          Whilst the US is dropping taxes like mad...we are getting more and more. I suppose we are "at war" and have to pay our share.

            Depends on where you live. When house prices crashed in London in the late 80's it had no effect on the North East. Prices here were still slowly rising as they always have.

              I think we're in for a big reduction.

              I'm leaving £100k in the bank for a 5 bed townhouse in Richmond in 3 years time.
