Oh go on Fermi, pour me a large gin & tonic, with ice and a slice.

Welcome to the forum Iceblond, congratulations (not really the right word but you know what I mean) for having your LBM.

I'm not sure enough people say this, so let me start by thanking you for all your great work over the last few years. You invested in whatever your mates were selling without researching anything. And at a time where everything was going up in value, miraculously, the rubbish you invested my pension in went up in value too.

As they say: what goes up must come down. That's gravity for you. Nothing to do with you making bad decisions.

I am very sorry to learn that the £500 Billion that has been given to you so far is not enough. I really feel like a cheap-skate being a citizen of a Country that has offered you so little.

Also, it is terrible that the Government wants to see a return on this money. How dare they? I am ashamed. Of course we converted the money given to you to no strings attached so that you don't have to pay for it.

I am so pleased that the Government is now giving you an extra £200 Billion. You deserve at least this for all your hard work. Please feel free to ask for more when you run out.

Finally, I am very sorry that I asked you if I could borrow an extra £10,000 on my mortgage to help me through. I was very wrong to say that 5.5% is unreasonable when interest rates are an astronomical 1.5%. Also, a £4,250 set up fee is totally justifiable. Why would I even think it should be less.

Yours humbly.........

PS Guy fawkes where are you? Your country needs you!
