A recent television ad, chronicling our progression as a nation through the decades, made mention of a fashionable question. The question in question, if you will, was: 'how much is your house worth?' Quite an unfashionable question nowadays one would imagine, but in its place there is a new fashionable statement: 'I knew the property market was going to crash before you'. Like children in a schoolyard, people from all walks of life all over the country maintain that they saw it first.
