27 taken to hospital it seems with up to 4 seriously injured. 4 were trapped under the car.

Well that’s kind of my point

I can only go on what I see. One of my children and 3 of her friends all own houses worth £250k plus

I have clarified it was a flat, I bought a used sofa from ball hill

In 1990 my property was £38,000 I was earning £12,000 a year and 16% interest meant over 50% of income was on a mortgage. I got a part time job at the weekend and I lost £4 grand when I sold it Gosh it was a cake walk

The average wage in 1999 was £20k and average house price £77k - 1999 was a big increase YOY - many Gen X would benefit more than boomers

So we have to have one year? And we have one unproven made up example? So my experience of negative equity is as valid unless it’s only one year that counts?

You have quoted one anecdotal example and tried to suggest this is relevant - boomers tended to buy houses in 1990 - one anecdotal example (with zero evidence it’s even factual) proves nothing in reality - does it?

The average house price was 59,000 in 1990 - in 2025 it’s £296,000 - a 5 times increase 👍👍

Oh and there are plenty of 4 bedroom detached houses in the CV5 area for £400,000 or less. Also it’s very relative, I bought my first flat for £34,000 - on the same block they are now £109,000 35 years later. If people want to slum it they can get a brand new house on the new estate near...

It isn’t though as your comparison makes zero sense. In 1990 the mortgage maximum was 3 times an average wage if buying from scratch. So the person would have been earning around £60,000 per annum then. That would be around £140,000 now. Now it’s possible to get 5 times - certainly on that...

The average house price was 4 times more than the average wage in 1990. So what you are describing was unobtainable to most then as it is now

He’s off to Middlesbrough - Had an offer of free Parmo for life

Hamer wants to come back

He had an exit clause and not one premier league wanted him. He’s a year older and playing in the championship.

Labour MPs oppose it

I couldn’t - all I could afford was a semi detached having already had negative equity on a small flat purchased In 1990

Hamers new diet

And you accuse 60% of the population going insane as the Tories lost an election

I don’t see Tories losing an election has meant MPs within Starmers party and even the cabinet objected to the deal
