    how can something that implements SQL not be a 'real' relational database
    The query language doesn't dictate what the underlyng data structure is. For example KDB+ is a column database that with it's own vector processing language called K (also Q). This isn't a relational database in the traditional sense but it supports SQL92 queries.

    I never really thought about splitting larger housing into smaller onces. I can see how that really makes things difficult for families. I always had an instinct that buy to let was bad but since rental rates are so much lower in other countries I thought it was mostly ok. I guess not...

    You're right about the housing shortage and true, buy to let does cause a bit of pressure on house prices but only if the house lies empty. If you think about it, someone who lives in a rented property is unlikely to also live in a bought one. Unless of course they are also a wealthy, countryside dwelling city worker with the money to spare for a rented apartment in town.

    Anyway, city workers compete mostly with each other for the same kinds of property. For example, compare property in E14, the postcode of Canary Wharf with that of neighbouring postcodes such as E1, E2 and E3. It's also where the biggest buy to let market is. Rent and mortgage monthly payments are about comparable but you just need the critical mass of the 10% deposit. With the current credit crisis, gone are the days of 100% mortgages.

    I work in Canary Wharf as a java devloper and earn about 65K per year and it's quite difficult to afford to rent OR buy in a place that you don't feel like you're taking part in a Crimewatch reconstruction.

    I suppose the only good news is that property prices are falling in the uk. Check out Property Snake for the evidence in real terms.

    Yikes. I scanned the doc briefly but I couldn't see exactly what it defined as 'fake'. Does it mean that the circuit breaker has no internal workings at all or is it just of inferior quality?
