Just a quickie before talking about the whole thing; when I watch it off the email it freezes at 25:36 no matter what I do. Clicking to watch it on youtube makes it work fine though

It's not about being liked, it's about self-respect.

Ok, clearly I was bored this evening as I'm the only one posting about this thus far!

Firstly I have to say - Martin, you're such a geek!!!!

But, more seriously, I think it is a well-presented & informative piece. The examples given hit home very well as they are situations I think anyone can picture, though you make a terrible 6y.o.

I think it's a crying shame that I & people of my generation & later weren't & haven't been educated about money (& other life skills but a different topic for a different thread). Equating an APR to an actual monthly sum passed me by til my late 20s

I do admire you hugely for starting MSE & tackling things like PPI, council tax, parking charges just lately head on in a very relevant way. I'm learning a lot

One final point tho, don't pull your trousers up so much when you're on stage, it's not a good look!

Thanks for posting it so we can all see...a few of us completely missed the newspaper promotion at the time.
