Even a dead cat bounces

The news that:

"House prices rose in March for the first time since October 2007, according to the Nationwide.

The building society said that property prices increased by 0.9% compared with the previous month. "

is surprising but then even a dead cat bounces and the UK housing market sure looks like a dead cat to me; it is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker!

It's a stiff! Bereft of life, It rests in peace! ...

It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibule!!
