Just a tip for everyone.
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!

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.

as one gets a certificate for nearly everything nowadays, does he get an unknighting certificate ??

The unfortunate thing is that he doesn't lose his £650,000 a year pension as well.

What is happening to the pound?

Try looking here, it's about 1.20€.

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 !

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

It seems a race to the bottom - the Bank of England is going to print more money

Apparently though we are going to be saved by the Chinese - Mr Osborne has made a deal to make London the trading centre for the Chinese currency. I've no idea how that will affect the pound though

You'll find the UK has much more debt than Spain. Maybe you should be more careful about who you call greedy, nevermind who you put into clearly racist acronyms

It seems the UK debt is spiralling out of control. Pound is down to 1.19 this morning

UK borrowed twice as much as expected in February

Strangely enough yet again this has allegedly come out of the blue, so what exactly or all these top financial people paid for if they can't even keep an eye on the accounts?

We are constantly told we have to pay top dollar to attract the best people, maybe it's time to give you and I a go!

I doubt we could do worse

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
