BRITAIN’S resurgent housing market showed further signs of strong recovery yesterday with evidence that mortgage approvals had almost doubled.

Boomed!

You've never had it so good!

Safe as houses!

This could only happen under the tories.

And hooray for the moral rightness of higher house prices!
"Strong recovery"!
"Confidence"!
"A terrific boost!"

Meanwhile over the page inflation is
"rising out of control"!
"the higher than expected figures could increase nerves"!
"MISERY for motorists due to similar rises a year earlier"!

thank you Daily Express for showing us the difference between the good and bad sorts of inflation.

I think the sexpress needs to be taken to task for its use of the word rockets.

I mean rockets leave the atmosphere once they have attained a speed of about 11km/s

not really sure the slight increase in house prices constitues the word rockets

small spurt maybe, minor uplift, slight ejaculation maybe

but not rockets.

Yes indeed. ‘Rockets’ is more appropriate to an Express reader’s blood pressure when he sees a person with dark skin entering a benefits office.

What, are the mortgage approvals on council houses then?
