    even better Beanie!

    Actually the MP on the news yesterday was getting on my nerves cos he kept going on about the government letting a "scottish" building society go to the wall - surely they deserve saving or not if they are scottish, english or welsh based on other factors than their scottishness! :mad: maybe he'd just caught his wife downloading dodgy films and couldn't think straight!

    Well it might just be me, but they were taken over by Nationwide to *stop* them going to the wall.

    "Scottish" is just trying to push the "nationalist" button.

    oh and I got a letter from BC telling me cos I'm not using up to my limit they are reducing it to £100 more than my highest ever balance! not sure why as I haven't abused it but it's still very, very high so should manage fine.
