HAVE PEOPLE on HPC become too-House obsessed?

I believe it is far too late in the property cycle to risk investing in Uk Property. Despite all the headlines aboutrprices rising again in London etc., when you take into consideration the costs of buying and selling, and the costs of holding, I would argue that it was near-impossible to buy property any time since mid-2004, and sell it, and walk away with a decent profit. Do you know ANYONE who has done that? If so, i would like to hear the story.

So let's focus on OTHER ways of making money

Frank Hovis is a drunken truck driver who suffers from smelly feet.

LOL.
I always thought of him as "the bread man", and he got upset for calling him that once.



It was a classic case of "failure of sense of humor."  It wasn't like I was calling him rubbish.  In fact, I thought he might have chosen that name intentionally since Bread = Money in some slang.

Maybe a truck driver WOULD get offended by such a thing.

Frank H. still thinks the "bread" reference is inappropriate

He may claim to drive a desk, but we know he drives a truck. He also suffers from smelly feet and less than impressive mountains.
