What's a forum without people posting, some friendly banter and opposing views. By MAMs decision to remove the above posters we now have less views and these forums have lost their humour and rich content. I say bring back GF and DB immediately.

Please post your support if you agree?

chris - you're sounding more and more like DB .... are you sure you're not one and the same?

if the above is typical of advfn, then clearly it remains every bit as nasty a site as it was 4 years ago when i briefly ventured there

house prices roaring????
i think not, but below £2m they are slowly ticking up once more and the rental market, at least in central london, is as strong as it's ever been

More bunkum, it's not quite what they say....

cynic

You seem to have to much time on your hands

Fred had a death threat a while back , don't know the details but The police have narrowed the suspect down to a list of 3,000 names

Get back over to the Talk To Yourself Thread you lot , this thread is reserved purely for arguments not sensible chat about the economy ...

aldo - have actually been busy sorting out a prob for a client in india :-)

Yeah... What the jumper says -):

Alf,

When you have finished with India could you possibly have a look at the Ukraine and Middle East as well?

cynic

Goodness gracese me

by the way, here is what was actually written (telegraph) .....

Margate has seen a 46 per cent year-on-year percentage increase in SALES between 2013 and 2014, with 45 per cent for Slough and 44 per cent for Clacton-on-Sea.


nothing to do with prices of course, other than if demand is greater than supply, then prices will rise

Indeed c, they sold 3 instead of 2.

sorry stan, but we don't deal in ukraine .... apart from the work attitude (not very good) the country and its companies have been pretty much bankrupt for years, so the risk of not getting paid is too high

by and large, m/e (and india) pay quite well once you've got their measure and worked with them for a while

The Poles still hate the Ukrainians, even their youngsters.

How about Nigeria?... Cash only of course -):

make sure you only deal with multi-nationals :-)

stan - if you happen to go to kiev, you should most definitely visit st michael's monastery
apart from being a most beautiful building, you will find the story of stalin's genocide by imposed starvation displayed on the outer wall ..... you will immediately realise why there is so much animosity between native ukrainians and russia

Why are you guys trashing this thread and not using the 'Talk to yourself thread'?

For my two penny worth...... I'd sooner have shortie back, why he took GF's side is a mystery.,.

Indeed Cynic, On the way to Krakow a couple of years ago the only person a young Ukrainian chap on the coach was taken off and virtually interrogated before being allowed to continue with us, think he got on in Berlin and was retuning to Poland where I think he lived.

He told us all Ukrainians get that treatment because of the Russians conduct after the Nazis were beaten, the Russians treatment of the Jews was almost just as bad as from the Nazis!

sorry EL
you're absolutely right ..... was not particularly aware to which thread i was posting, though i would not exactly call the dialogue above "trashing" which implies a level of vindictive abuse

BB - i think the GF incident was the last straw for shortie; he was also pretty fed up with the abuse he got from certain other posters who did not like the fact that he primarily shorts stocks and indices

I told them that but was ignored .

Who did shortie get abuse from cynic ? i never saw it and i used to follow the ftse250 thread
