What a waste of time in my opinion!! I'd like to see Merryn Somerset-Webb included in the Bricks Chicks for a better balanced viewpoint, the current format is skewed towards regurgitating meaningless spin/data from companies that have a vested interest in preventing the largest asset bubble in history, that is the UK property market, from bursting!! The longer we try and prevent the BUST from happening the worse the eventual outcome shall be, at the end of the day recession is an essential part of the economic cycle as it purges the excesses of the previous boom leaving the economy in a healthier state.

-0.1% seasonally adjusted. Without the S.A. that's -0.9%.

So -1% per month nearly & more than -12% compounded over the year.

Very sloppy stats, Bricks chicks.
