Inflation at 4% then that's a wage cut. But who's getting 2.5% rise anyway? Interesting retail sales figures this month, maybe Easter is the wrong date this year.

Still 50% over target, also what's falling ipods,ipads can you eat them do they keep you warm, do you buy them daily?

So what's the UK going to look like in 5 years unless we get wage inflation then?

Right then HPC in 2013 it is then.............

I seen it, i was going to reply to it, but then decided.............i don't care any more.................

Ok, i thought once the passport was obtained no need for visas, how can they refuse a citizen entry.

Isn't your daughter entitled to a British passport by law?

Maybe the stamp duty changes next month having an affect, Halifax and next months figures can validate. Nationwide do have a south focus. Past caring myself, going to focus my energy on other things now. No way was prices 2.2% up in my area

I thought it was 6, that's what makes it hard for us it's tonal were not used to that. I don't think i could ever learn it myself. Took me a couple of 4 month trips to get the hang of the masculin and feminin basics.

You think so. I can see them changing the loop hole of land inside a company. You any good at speaking Thai?

£800 would be more than minimum wage here, which your expected to run a car,buy a house,food........Great living here. I wonder where Thailand is on that mickey mouse list that some twat has dreamed.

What isn't addressed by the current system is people who live 10+ plus to a house and only pay the same as 2 people. Regardless of the property value. That was my point.

It could be worse, you could be in the UK, thinking that's your lot

It's relative to serf's when their trying to service debt in pounds. It's relative to the government when the UK has such a large service economy. Hence the desperation to keep rates on the floor.

We keep going round in circles with this. Without wage inflation it's worse than rate rises.

True, it's the message of intent though, bit like 2005 with .25% cut.

Tentative tomorrow, Halifax been moved already to coincidence with the BOE next week.

Some banks taking major losses now on repossessions in and around my area. Infact on closer inspection i'm suspecting mortgage fraud to the point where the buyer and the vendor where friends. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-28856296.html Last sold in 2005 for £135,000 which was even 10% higher than any peak price of 2007 for the road. A very un-desirable road http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php?con=sold_prices_street_detail&street=WILTON+ROAD&locality=ERDINGTON&town=BIRMINGHAM&cCode=EW&year=All&house_style=All&house_age=All&search_radius=15&outcode=B23&incode=6UA&eastingToSearch=41100&northingToSearch=29200 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-32970347.html Sold today at auction for £112,000, last sold in 2008 for £245,000 and sold in 2007 for £145,000 the mortgage provider was Bradford & Bingley(don't laugh),considering the property was leasehold was god knows how much over the peak price. Now this i read the legal pack from the auction, the house was repossessed within a year and the buyer never paid any of the ground rent. Needs some serious work now and was in no way a refurb job in 2007. A very desirable road. http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php?con=sold_prices_street_detail&street=PLANTS+BROOK+ROAD&locality=SUTTON+COLDFIELD&town=SUTTON+COLDFIELD&cCode=EW&year=All&house_style=All&house_age=All&search_radius=15&outcode=B76&incode=1HG&eastingToSearch=41370&northingToSearch=29260 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-26361088.html This one sold in 2005 for £185,000, 6 months after being bought for £119,000. Now ive viewed it and no way was it a refurb job in 2005 because it's in a fairly bad condition. £185,000 was at least 10% over the peak price of 2007 for the street and it's leasehold. A fairly desirable road. It's been marketed for over 2 years at various prices and SSTC at various times the last being £110,000 http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php?con=sold_prices_street_detail&locality=BIRMINGHAM&town=BIRMINGHAM&street=EDWARDS+ROAD&year=All&house_style=All&house_age=All&house_type=All&search_radius=15&northingToSearch=29190&eastingToSearch=41130&cCode=EW&outcode=B24&incode=9HB&order=&start_limit=20&curPage=2 http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-32039453.html Last sold in 2006 for £158,000 http://www.nethouseprices.com/index.php?con=sold_prices_street_detail&street=BOUNDARY+ROAD&locality=BIRMINGHAM&town=BIRMINGHAM&cCode=EW&year=All&house_style=All&house_age=All&search_radius=15&outcode=B23&incode=6GN&eastingToSearch=41010&northingToSearch=29160 Now i know you get stupid buyers willing to buy at stupid prices but the second property especially the intention was evident in the legal pack.

That was my point, a bit of both. The poll tax was each person regardless of value of property.

It's fair a to point, otherwise your would have total social break down.

What if that multi-million pound house has one old lady living in it about 70 and then the poxy terrace house has about 10 people living in it which include a few children going to school. Who is using more of the services being provided by the local council? No doubt about it,any fairer council tax would take account of amount of people in the residence.

Good value to who, people who work and earn in London or people who work and earn in brum. If London falls by 50%, Sutton will also, but i agree i would have no issue with buying then also.

Yes your correct Handsworth was a nice area, but way before my time as i'm 39, ive always known it as a ghetto. Can you ask the OH what areas where regarded slums then? Currently living just of Dyas Road on Elliston Avenue. Raised in Pype Hayes though just off Paget Road and that's where i'm heading back to. Why do you think the government are trying to push through the high speed rail link, they know it's critical to Birmingham, without it brum will be one big ghetto.
