Brut... I have an unopened bottle of same somewhere, gently decaying away.

It ain't 'Enry.

Yeah.

Right.

That's it, Brut.

I shared a room on a football tour once with a bloke who splashed it all over. Woke up one morning heaving after breathing it all night.

I think Keegan advertised it too.

Wasn't there one called Denim or Magnum or something similar?

Indeed: Denim for Men

And that one you "splash it all over" - what was it again?

Now what we need is smell-a-rama-net...

Where's the Charlie Red option?

Yes, we could have done with a few more perfume options.

Although we must be careful, I'm old enough to remember Hi Karate...

I prefer the Chanel, personally.

Well, I am not sure that it's only a matter of confidence and belief in house prices. History shows us that house price crashes happen when people expect them least and are a combination of several factors (not alwas the same ones either).

Poor old Francko. Still bitter that you didn't make any money in Uk property, eh?
Now condemned to rent a studio in Switzerland for the rest of your days..

You're getting very warm Old Greg. The housing crash will occur when AtW argues that he now believes a housing crash will never occur.

It is similar to carrying an umbrella; statistically it rains less if you remember to take your brolly with you.

In that case, if we want to learn the lessons of history, as long as we keep expecting a house price crash, it will never happen.

Yes, but Rive Gauche is more subtle.

After September 11th, fear of recession drove central banks to lower interest rates and thus the era of cheap money arrived.

House prices stuttered after September 11th, the boom started to gain momentum again in 2003

Does anyone remember if house prices went down after the 11th of Sept 2001?

Prices went shooting up. Everybody is like, forget this travel business way too risky, tourists are for heros. No we'll stay at home and build an extensions instead. When the war on terror is won prices will go down in the UK. France will be uneffected they don't pick fights with anyone.

A house is only worth what someone will pay for it. One reason alone. Take away that reason and Seems like a pretty poor reason to me.
