Aren't the banks legally obliged to pay these bonuses?, if they don't there's talk of employees going to the european court etc,..as long as there is a bonus culture in the financial services it's only a question of time before greed kicks in, witness the mis-selling of pensions scandal of the late 80's early 90's...a cap on bonuses might work but doesn't that go agaianst the principals of the free market?...

Maybe bankers are a bunch of shameless gits in the first place...

Thanks for taking Peter Kenyon of our hands, not even Cantona at a million squid was better value...you sacked the wrong guy... again!

more properties on the market = properties remain empty because no one can get a mortgage to buy them due to low rents i.e the sums don't add up = cardboard box

Ray 'the Crab' Wilkins in charge - expect to see lots of 60 yard sideways passes. Fergie was right at the start of the season, Chelski are an ageing team, past their peak...

Driving rents down = landlord can't pay mortgage = repossession = homeless tenants

I thought the only one to close down was 'Don't lose the plot', past the cop shop on the left hand side (no Musical Youth jokes please), which was more to do with their innate crapiness since it happened well before the economic downturn... DLTP

Despite falling rents/interest rates, unemployment rising etc, Grainger have seen fit to ask me to stump up an extra 10% for my rent, welcome to the world of the corporate landlord... -

I was talking about general values not one-off scenarios, who in their right mind would make an offer on a property without first researching local values, you need to do some homework even before making a 'cheeky offer' to a distressed seller, or else how would you know you were making a 'cheeky offer'?... -
Has the ED housing market reached the bottom yet ( II )
red devil replied to snorky's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Zoopla shouldn't be taken too seriously, I checked out a flat I own and after 'refining their estimate' mangaged to add ?35k to the price by confirming it had full central heating and wood floors! Also noticed that the upstairs flat which has an identical layout with the addition of a small box room above the entrance staircase was worth ?50k less!...the best indicator of current values is still the estate agent windows, not ifs, buts and maybes... -
The cost of land in East Dulwich?
red devil replied to char1ie's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Hi Alice, it was actually a fire escape for the top floor flat, the garage went across the full width of the garden so anyone fleeing a fire had to go through a gate in the fence and through next door's garden!
