I know it's still a frontier economy, but even so it's getting well ahead of itself.

I'm in the market at the moment and it's boiling over in London. And no it's not the immigrants that are causing it, they've got more sense. The banks are now routinely lending 6 times salary (!! - I know because I was offered it with no checks) and there are plenty of muppets who are taking on those kinds of debts.

House prices booming
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5233720.stm
House price growth picked up in July and the overall market remains "fairly buoyant", according to the Nationwide.
