2 seats at the Ashes Test for the price of a Plasma TV. That's today's bargain offer on ebay.com.au for the Brisbane Test.

Only a few years ago, Sydney-siders were feeling much the same way but have now suffered minor losses. But go back to the late eighties in the UK and you may recall the horror stories of Negative Equity.

For newbies this is where you owe more to the bank than your home is worth. You can sell-up, walk away and still owe the bank big bikkies.

Since this tends to hurt those who buy at the top of the cycle with a basic 5 or 10% deposit, it's the first time buyers who are most at risk. Pom asks: is the current boom in prices really sustainable?

You know the way it goes: You were brought up in Blighty or your parents were, and you've 'acquired' a taste for Marmite. In the other camp, there's your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife or husband who swear by Vegemite. Bloody Oath!

At Pom, we want to help heal a breach that is clearly at the core of many interpersonal disputes. We propose a kind of Ashes for savoury spread (no not burnt toast). Anyone brave enough to enter the fray?
