[QUOTE="HOLYCOWt, post: 3264138, member: 114727"] It's funny then that the people can afford more expensive houses and bigger mortgages in a "crushed economy". Where are they getting the money to fuel a housing boom? So many people are still sitting on massive equity built up through the last 20-30 years through the housing market. Again if the average person was so financially crushed; how did it happen then ? And don't forget that unlike the USA we haven't had the housing crash seen elsewhere. Truth is the average tradesmen here in the UK did great during the 80's. We even had a comedy caricature by Harry Enfield called 'loadsamoney'. I think that captured what happened in the Eighties quite well. The average working man and the middle classes did pretty well. I believe if they weren't doing ok, they wouldn't have voted her in three times in a row. Maybe you can explain that one too ? Harry Enfield - Loadsamoney - I've Got Piles - YouTube [/QUOTE]
