    Late 2010/early 2011. Will then be flat for 3 years.

        I'm not an expert, but I voted 2010.

        For at least the last 5 years I've felt that house prices had been out of hand and with the banks unable/unwilling to lend on the gigantic scale that they were it will force the prices down over a couple of years so that people can actually buy them with a sensible %age mortgage and a managable income to loan value.
        I have a feeling that there will be literally millions with negative equity houses for the next 10-15 years.

            Is it me, or does one lose the ability to view the votes after voting?

            edit: DOH! The numbers are links to a screen that shows the votes (But I'm sure there was a "View Votes" button before I voted.)

              I prefer the canyon on Tethys, lovely view over the impact crater.

              Titan can be ok, but the weather is often pretty lousy.

                Thanks for the tip - last time I looked there were 52 named moons around Saturn which leaves 30 or so other ones still looking for a name.

                I've heard Tethys is worthwhile but myself and Hari were dissapointed last year during our visit to Titan - there was an irritiating space probe Huygens -I think it was called - that spoiled things a tad with its constant probing - Hari wanted to destroy the poor thing - she does have such a temper at times , but I think she maybe just had one too many vodkas.

                In the end , thank goodness the probe jouneyed off to Saturn - so all ended well - we were even lucky with the weather avoiding some of seasonal severe dust storms.

                On the birghter side we're hoping to visit Trafalmadore next year - Kari's been showing me the brochures - looks great.

                You can see one of our holiday snaps on the left.

                Can't wait - a splendid time is guaranteed for all .

                Well thats what it said in the brochure.
