Yes, it was. I didn't even notice they had printed it. I never heard back from them so I assumed they had not printed it. Good stuff. I have to try and secure a copy of the Metro.

Here be the text from Bubble P's letter (page 18 the metro)

Title (supplied by the metro I assume ) "DREAMING"

text
QUOTE
" In your article 'Money for old soap' (Metro, Tue), you report
on a house for sale in Albert Square , stating :

'With house prices rising by 56 percent a year , an investors dream.'

This figure is pure fantasy. According to Land Registry data , house prices in Tower Hamlets rose by 9.8 per cent in 2004 but by only 0.9 per cent in the last quarter of 2004.
And the next move will be down.
Hardly an investors dream. "



end of letter.

Did they edit any out BP ?

I think the original article in Tuesday's Metro was actually trying to be ironic, but if it sparks a debate about house prices then it's all good!

They did not edit anything out. That's the letter. I kept it short to improve the chances of it being printed. I did sign it "Press Spokesman housepricecrash.co.uk", but they seem to have omitted that part.
