    Children understand a lot especially when the conversation is not aimed at them.

    I got my listening foreign language skills due to this, which has been useful to report a horrible permie to his manager.

    Classic n00b mistake

    How's about the chance of somebody topping themselves and the property being unlettable for years because people are superstitious about living there? They're quite religious/superstitious in many areas outside the stockbroker belt

    That's easy. They are all twunts, every last stinking greedy one of them.

    Apparently they have started using estate agents instead of rats for laboratory experimentation.
    They are not generally as bright as the rats, but the scientists don't become so attached to them!!

    It appears on average Northerners are more likely to commit suicide than Southerners , especially in the North West.

    Now obviously this needs to be bought into the prediction. Even though the property is cheaper, the chance of someone topping themselves and you not getting the rent needs to be calculated.

    Now if I add in race & crime, I should be able to start to narrow it down to the best tenants & location.

    Insightful stuff this data.

    Why can't they build big prisons there? Should be pretty cheap and any court would throw argument that the development would negatively affect the house prices.
    Isn't all of Wales an open prison
