Like I said, don't say I didn't warn you!!!

Imagine the scene ..... 50 lorry drivers wind each other up to a frenzy on todays drive .... they then, on mass, block a refinery!!

It hits the news tonight and the petrol stations are hit by a public crapping themselves ............. I'm just giving you a few hours head start, take it if you want!

The current house price crash started towards the end of 2004 if you read into the figures! Prices dont get slashed 50% overnight!

Was reading some interesting articles about house the early 90's crash was reported, and it wasnt "house prices are crashing" - it was the constant "well the worst of the falls are over, prices have bottomed out or are turning a corner" like we've been getting for a while now!

Fair play to everyone involved in the fuel protests I say - cant believe some people on here, moan about massively taxed fuel, then have a go at the fuel protesters when they actually make a stand

Yes I know theres bee a "decline" in SOME areas!!! hardly a crash though is it? And if we all took pissy pants advice every bugger would be stuck off the ladder because I cant see prices crashing to what they was 5 years ago!!!!

problem is though nobody is making a stand though are they? thats the point!!!!! Im not whining about the fuel costs. If I decide theyre getting ridiculously high I'll sell my car and buy something that'll return 40 to the gallon

Lovely graph, you got a microscope handy?

So you reckon we're gonna see a crash on the scale off say 60% of the current value being knocked off properties? cause thats what its gonna take at least in my area. 4 years ago the 2 bed semi I first bought was £50k no being sold anywhere between £110k-120k gonna take a mighty big tumble. remember theres that many people all waiting to get on the ladder now lets say theres a big massive crash... every sod will buy a house or 2.... eventually pushing prices back up again..... swings and round abouts mate.

you sit there with your fingers crossed

30% drop at the very best Id estimate.
