Brown's spend, spend, spend during his Chancellor's days has brought us into the current economy we are facing today. His appeal at a Downing Street meeting for the lenders to pass on cuts appeared to fall on deaf ears with HBOS, which owns the Halifax, increasing its rate on some mortgages from 6.09 to 6.59 per cent. Borrowers taking out this type of deal will now pay 46 more a month. On a two-year tracker, the rate will increase from 1.49 points above base rate to 1.99 points, giving a current rate of 6.99 per cent.

Other lenders are expected to follow Halifaxs lead.

If the Government wants the banks to lower mortgage rates to home owners - why not just offer them through Northern Rock? Everyone would rush to the Rock to get the loans forcing banks to match the rates or lose the business? Or maybe the government would then run into bigger credit crunch?

PHolden, If you have a acute possibly dangerous condition, you can ask for and emergency consultation and under his rule and regs he has to see you that day. You are entitled to camp down in his premises until he does so.

But as I stated the delay is due to the ineptitude of the GPs concerned or his/her arrogance or indifference.

Oh Fredpotty aint turned up on here as well? .and he has got a dangerous condition its calledplum stuck in gob syndrome

Fred, whilst not disagreeing with what you say with regard to an acute condition or emergency, the simple fact is that for whatever reason it takes a ridiculous time to see your GP, three weeks is the norm in my area.

Incidentally, Tabasco should go and see his own GP about that huge chip sitting on his shoulder, but doubt it would do any good.

Our doctor will phone you back within an hour or so and then decide if you warrant seeing that day and not leave it up to the receptionist as many do.

Dilyour doctor wears paint a mask.and bangs a drum.medication normally consists of antelope horn powder.particularly good for Loss of Libido in Women

No she don't ... bit of a looker in fact :-)

Your not denying the antelope horn powder for the wife!

Dil, Your doctor is a bit advanced. He just wants the chance to be rude to you personally!

A lot of your comments are true geordiebut let us not forget the Major Government is on record as being the worst in living memoryand if you want to mention corruption there is only one winner there!.Majors men and women! The next Tory PMCameron.is sixpence short of a shillingnot a great future I fear!.trust me Im not on Browns sidejust a little more realistic.

They are all corrupt to a greater or lesser extent. The difference between the Major and Blair/Brown governments is that Major's was down to individuals getting caught, whereas with Blair etc, there was from the outset, and still is, endemic institutional corruption.

Nothing is advanced in Wales Fred! High Tech.is known as a 'stethoscope'

ChuffChuffChaser .quite agreejust trying to point out our past and probable future governments will never learn.

Agree with that Tabasco - They never have & never will - down to their inbred arrogance and contempt for the electorate at large

I see in tonight's news it is the same old Tory party. Spivs to the bone.
