I’ve been reading RG’s strange columns with increasing incredulity.  About how raising interest rates will drive house prices up.  Now he doesn’t seem to understand that you can compensate someone for increased energyprices and they might still reduce their energy consumption (because it’s relative price goes up).  Pretty strange stuff.

To be fair Nick, I’m sure Bobby’s stuff sounds a lot better when read out by the man himself.
