It has now come to the point where it's advantageous to keep your money in a home safe rather than in a bank, that way you don't have to declare it for tax. http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/uk-...170717590.html |

they give you 2% if you put money with them for them to use but charge you 10%+ if you want to borrow it back again. anyone interested in starting a personal bank ?? If you have money with them at 2%, and you need the money back. Don't borrow from them,just close youir account!!! Complicated financial planning I know, but every little helps! |

http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/uk-...170717590.html Fred the shred has been unknighted.......is there a ceremony that goes with the honour or is it the Sir just never to be used again. It would be good if there was some sort of reversal ceremony, the Queen giving him a right hook or something.... That would be a novel idea for a website,it could be called "friends unknighted" or something like that. |

Re: Pounds down again.( WRONG )
Time to change the title, surely, it is the Euro weakening, do you think it will recover, or the greedy PIGS take one last bite of generosity, before declaring themselves, Bankrupt!
Some countries in the EU could be likened to MPs & their expenses. the people who gave out the money where to blame - not sharp eyed, sensible & sufficiently, questioning ! SLOGAN :" Duck ponds & motes, don´t get your votes, only good for Duckies" Anyone, who has saved his overseas pay to return to Blighty, has seen the cash diminish 20 % (or 20.000 off each 100,000)in 2011. So is there a more stable currency? If you have this sort of problem but are sensitive about public discussion, talk to me privately |

Re: Pounds down again.
It seems the UK debt is spiralling out of control. Pound is down to 1.19 this morning :thumbdown:
UK borrowed twice as much as expected in February http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17456646 |

Re: Pounds down again.
There is a glimmer of light in the gloom.
However, with only one month of the financial year to go, the government still looks set to beat its borrowing target of £127bn for 2011-12, though not by as much as previously anticipated. Pound isn't down much, has average 1.19/1.20 for ages. Footsie down though...maybe budget jitters:lol: |
