The houses there are quite new they were over a million quid each about a year ago, but you'd definately get alot more for your money elswhere.

People with MONEY are ok though, as in lots of it sat in the bank, as they dont need credit, fair enough their business might suffer or whatever, but if they actually have oodles of cash sitting around, the more hard up everyone else is, the better off they are.

I wouldnt be too sure about the credit crunch having no affect... you never know, he might have to give his butler a smaller rise this year to pay for the Veyron.

Niether have back seats so I guess no kids/dogs and the family and friends can get fucked.

If hes anything to do with the oil industry (i assume he does), then the credit crunch will be of little worry to him in terms of salary/job security.

Lucky bugger!

What a stupid thing to say.

Wealthy people lose money when asset prices fall, which includes property, stock, fine art, etc. etc.

Halifax house price data shows a 12.7% fall in the last 12 months, so a big loss for the owner of example house above.

It has also been proven that times of recession and / or bear markets close the gap between rich and poor far more than extra taxation of the rich does.

Finally......... nice cars

You are talking about recession, not credit crunch.

Related, but not actually the same.

Anyone with an FXX has to buy the first round.

Lucky rich sod that he is.
According to Wikipedia (which is half bullshit but anyway...) he started off by flogging trainers from the back of a van. Delboy style! Respect.
