As far as advocates of sound money are concerned, the UK housing market peaked in 2005. Since then it has fallen by more than 70%.
Yes, 70%. House prices are now at levels last seen in the early 1990s, at the bottom of the last bear market. The average house price is currently 25% below its average of the last 40 years.
“But, but, but,” I hear you say. “The housing market has barely fallen. The latest Nationwide and Halifax data has been showing year-on-year price rises. The crash never really came. This is insane. You’re talking rubbish.”
Am I?
People keep asking me – what is gold going to do in all this market turmoil?
I reply, frustratingly – it could go either way. I know that’s the most annoying of answers, but, really, it could.
There are so many opposing forces at work. So I’d like to consider some of them today…
Please come to a test screening of a new TV Comedy Pilot this Sunday May 16th at 6.15 at The Exhibit Cinema in Balham, right opposite the tube station.
The show is called Frisby’s Greatest Ever. It is written by Gary Delaney and me and directed by Brendon Connelly. A spoof of 100 Greatest Films or the many other clip shows you see where C-list experts ’share their thoughts’, it should appeal to anyone who loves films. It is about 17 minutes long and entry is free. Yes, free.
The make-up and prosthetics, by Aaron and Maralyn Sherman, who have made up everything from French and Saunders to Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, are something to see. Take a look at a couple of stills:
There are more stills here.
If you would like to come, please email me – frizzers [at] gmail.com – or text me on 07717 131931 to book a seat.
Once again show starts at 6.15 . It lasts about 20 minutes and entry is free.

Doesn’t the cinema look lovely:
You take a quick walk to the shops. You come back and the Dow’s down 1,000 points.
The volatility of the past week has been breathtaking. Last week, in an event now known as the ‘flash crash’, the Dow saw the biggest intra-day fall in its history.
Then on Monday, global stock markets enjoyed one of their biggest ever gains.
It’s all eerily reminiscent of late summer 2008, if you ask me. And we all know what happened next… Read on .
A number of people ask me which voices I do in Roary The Racing Car.

Molecom The Mole
Rusty The Caravan
PC Pete
Flatbed The Truck
James, Mamma Mia’s Chauffeur
Loada, The Car Transporter
Here they all are in action:

It’s been more than a year now since the Bank of England began printing money, via Quantitative Easing (QE).
Governor Mervyn King told the BBC at the time: “Money in the economy is not growing quickly enough to support economic growth… What we’ve announced today are measures to increase the supply of money injected directly into the wider economy.”
The European Central Bank is now drawing ever closer to doing something similar, as the euro crisis spins out of control. So I want to take a closer look at QE and ask, “What has it actually achieved?”
