Is Strimmers the gardening friend of Stimmers (who won't be answering)?

Halfway through three years isn't a year later, Stiggy...

Sorry. Shall I stop being an arse now?

Yes, so a year and a half later is dec 09 unless I am badly missing the point?

Because people with lives dont re-visit year old forum discussion just to say "I told you so"?



Just a thought.

a bet was made, two people agreed and there is some posh bubly in it for me

Nice recall. Thank goodness for Outlook!

My reading of the bet was positive or negative from June 2008 to 1st Jan 2010, so we are 2/3rds of the way through.

"You say significantly up by 2010 (amend if you like) and I say significantly down.

How about I buy a bottle of Veuve if it is positive between now and then, and you buy if it is negative?"

I'll wander off and see if I can find the figures....

[loafer123]

Looks like -7% in the last 12 months according to the BBC...

Still everything to play for - supposedly up in the last quarter, and very low volumes could make for volatile results....

ETA - Actually, going to the excellent Land Registry site shows average price in Lambeth has fallen from £350k to £300k which is a fall of 14ish% between June 2008 and March 2009, which is the latest data they are showing.
