Hi Craig

There are many property programmes on tv...from 2002-2007..during the 'house prices only ever go up period'

I'd love to see some bought this year and trying to sell....there are NONE of these

It's as if some in the media have vested interests in rising property and now their trying and failin to hike up rental prices of their failed sales portfolios.

I really do understand your frustration. Decent hardworking families have been priced out of the market for years, and the chavvies who've bought their homes with 105% loans overpiced by 250% and got new car loans etc all secured on their homes have been laughing in our faces.

This is about to change, very very rapidly.

Just wait, all things change, and these people will soon be in council flats (if there's any left) on the breadline and those of us who have not got into unrepayable debt levels will get our little homes.

Just wait, and save.

The good news is, most of these people believe the likes of Sarah Benney and Kirstie Allsop, and the loved baldy Phil, and renovated their homes at massive cost.

When these properties are repo'd and sold at auction for a 10th what they were bought for, be ready. This is already happening in the USA.

well said someone who agrees with me, thank you

sheffy / almost forgot about the youngsters that have to have new 08 plate cars/ i didnt know they stuck it on mortgage , thats around 25k for a 12k car

And the 3k a year hols to a Spanish rent-a-beer-stool and the latest designer 100 quid pimp shoes.

There will be alot of newish cars for sale soon, the price reductions of some cars are unbelievable - you can get a 2.7 V6, cruise control, leather, tiptronic, 4x4, blacked out windows (from a pervious wannabee rapper, now repossession job) - 54 plate Santa Fe for 4K, with only 30k miles.

Last year this would have been 9k.

These deals are increasing day by day.

When it drops to 1.5K, I may think about it....if the fuel doesn't keep jumping up and up.

Onward with the credit crunch, on top of this the chavvies having maxed out their credit cards have now being double whammied, the likes of MBNA have increased their rates to 35%..........

funny, we now thing payng 110.9 for a litre of fuel is now cheap - it ain't it is a total rip off.

dont forget bench clothes and tatoos come as a priority £200 or so on the old card

Should keep you happy this thread, you have found another looney to talk to whjo actually believes you.

Personally I'd much prefer to watch Kirsty and Phil than the 'Here's How to Save in a Credit Crunch' type programmes I expect are on their way now!

Should keep you happy this thread, you have found another looney to talk to whjo actually believes you.

I thought you were the only looney for me Phyllis.

Have you got Phill and Krusties autographs yet?

Seen them lately......?
