I have £263,000 in a variety of fifty (one thirteen) thousand pound segments which will come due at that time (two years hence that is). Wonder what guesses people hold as to what interest rates might be at that time? Surely the huge debt load will have had to effectively kicked in by then?

'When falls the Bank of England: England falls.'
Oh, dear.
'Britons NEVER will be slaves' ....
It seems almost laughable e'en now!
