Yes, Sean. Of course, property professionals are happy enough to endorse the "property as investment" ideal in a rising market. Now everyone is conditioned to think they must only buy a house if it will also double as their pension scheme, it's going to be hard to convince people that they are, after all, only buying a home to live in.

We need to get out of this property fetish viewpoint


how many other purchases in your lifetime will actually appreciate over inflation ?


not many.Not your car , not your dishwasher, not your M&S suit.


We ned to think of property as a home that we can afford and enjoy, rather than part of some some investment strategy and maybe get things in perspective....

A cautionary tale: I bought a flat just before the last recession. Shortly afterwards I ended up with an alarming amount of negative equity and my home ended up being repossessed and sold for peanuts at auction.


I think Keef you should wait at least until the end of the year, I don't think the housing market is anywhere near the bottom yet.

Well, at least that settles *Bob* and AlanDale's long running debate on whether an Oxford education really does guarantee a bright future.

I have been offered Doctorate from "Harvord" university by email. No work at all involved. get credits for life experience.


one of the doctorates they offer is in Aeronautical engineering.

maybe a university of East Dulwich couild be a little money spinner ?


Bellendden College ?


Melbourne Grove University


Polytechnic of North Cross road ?


Mamora State University ?

ouch

annaj -


Some of us actually want to go to the best university in the country to LEARN - not just to get a job (if I was that way inclined I would have done business studies or media at the University of Nowehere.


One thing that can never be taken away from people who have gone to these institutions - being taught by the best, in a historic city, and being surrounded by intelligent and forward thinking people.


It reminds me of the idiots I sometimes meet who say 'you studied philosophy, what are you doing this job for?'. Unless you have been there you won't understand.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
