I wondered if anyone feels the UK has run out of steam as inflation is on the rise. EU rumoured to be raising their rates and BoE probably in October. I have heard several property developers are selling some housing stock because they think we are heading towards the Bust part of the Boom and Bust cycle. Is this long overdue do you think?. Are house prices going to stagnate or decline and will there be a lot of people made redundant?

Watch the women's skirt lengths, these are economic indicators. Look at what happened to them in the 1930s, the 60s and the more recent decades, and the states the economy was in at those times.

Big bust comin me think. Long overdue. Could be widespread civil unrest this time too.

Yes. It is due to the 600,000 to one million immigrants from East Europe who came over here in the past year or so. I have already noticed a drop in wages in my sector.

No. Britain is currently enjoying a "Goldilocks economy": not too hot and not too cold
