Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

stock markets at all time highs , yet pre bexit and all the scare tactics and in the states on trump all bloody lie lies lies .
now lets see the EU fold and the pack flat on their faces ,

A bit of inflation isn't necessarily a bad thing, IMHO.

1. You start your foray into the housing market with a £250 deposit and a 95% mortgage to help buy you and wifey buy a £5,000 home.

2. You move in and sit on the carpet (the 3-piece suite hasn't yet been delivered and neither has the sideboard or the TV stand or the TV nor the dining table and chairs). You wonder whether you've done the right thing as the mortgage for this place is costing around £50-£55 per month. Meals have to be eaten in the kitchen because there's nothing to sit on or eat at other than the kitchen worktop.

3. The years roll by. You move a few times, buying bigger and better and taking out bigger mortgages each time you move.

4. Then you retire and 'trade down'. All the mortgages were settled years ago before actually doing this.

5. Guess how many "X" x £100,000's you've made along the way?

.......all because of inflation. :-)

RE: The New York Times...It was a letter to subscribers because a lot have
been cancelling their subscriptions due to the NYT's bias.

Subscriptions are up. Digital subs are up six times.

Rwdstatewatcher is a Trump biased mouthpiece. Almost as bad as Breitbart News.

Republican party split on repeal of Obamacare. Congress may not pass a bill to scrap it.

Stuff you wont read in the Graun.

Laurenrose- If we must put up with the relentless dribble you continue to pollute this board with, please punctuate.

Laurenrose alias TANKER, taking on the mantle of Victor Meldrum on speed!


Freedom of speech Garthyboy, that's what makes the British Isles Great :0)

For the benefit of haystack...Maybe they're trying to mitigate the possible
loss of subscribers due to their behavour throughout the the campaign...

That's the spin put on the statement, not just the statement.

Yea..Yea!!!..Carry on with your dribble, herman ...

!! Nigel Farage for foreign secretary !!...Or even the US ambassador, seeing
as the present one is a pro-eu sycophant...

nigel farage is the only true Politian in the uk . the rest are just filling their own ends

farage the uk hero

the queen should knight him

tim farron what a stupid simple person , he thinks he is a great man he is a low life pig

Farage, who failed to be elected an MP seven times and was excluded from the Leave campaign. Someone to be ignored while he disappears.
