Bull and Bear are summoned back to the Headmaster's office to set out St Bride’s Managers house-view of the UK property market.
Much to the headmaster's evident irritation, neither of them appears to have done their homework.
With UK borrowing costs hitting post-2008 highs and bond markets on edge, the pair lock horns over whether investors should be worried about the fiscal storm clouds gathering over Westminster, and what this means for investors.
Bull remains adamant that the re-pricing of property over the last three years will deliver higher income returns and present attractive buying opportunities.
Rather predictably, however, his efforts to win over the Headmaster with feel-good Bob Marley lyrics rather than hard facts and statistics receive short shrift.
