Best go and get p*ssed while we can afford it!

Spot on! The one item that seems to be guaranteed to be overlooked by deflation is the amber nectar.

dosh37,

Oh I completely understand the business of chasing interest rates around. I seem to have been doing this since, well, definately since start of November. It was so much hassle. I decided I'd pay the Chaps fee to get £15,000 out from B&B quickly, but it was 'only' £20. I'm glad I did as the Coventry BS were really quick about doing things when I opened a Poppy Bond! Compared to Saga who took nearly 2 weeks to send out forms then nearly 2 more weeks to process afterwards. I had £15,000 in limbo for nearly a month because it was so slow. I waited as it was a very good fixed rate. Unlike now of course! What will we all do when these fixed interest jobbies mature - when there is 8ugger all choice.:rolleyes:

Thank you dosh37 for cheering me up in these gloomy times for savers.

Been there, got the t-shirt, now abandoned all hope of leaving my capital intact. Ah well, it was nice while it lasted .

That's what keeps me going - the British stiff upper lip in times of adversity.
What's your name - don't tell him Pike!

I am seriously thinking of emmigrating to New Zealand.
This country has completely gone to pot over the last few years.
They have better weather, more affordable and cheaper housing, fewer immigrants, a smaller population and amazing scenery.

I don't blame you. Do they have entry criteria? Let's form an orderly queue .

But then won't you become an immigrant? As the daily mail says all immigrants are evil....... (well except for the white english speaking kind)

A smaller population = less immigrants surely?
