Perhaps stance was not the right word, maybe position woudl be better. Anyway. They have not been asked for assistance, maybe they will not be asked for assistance. But it has happened before, and we are possibly in a worse mess than before.
So.. if.. and it's a medium sized if... if we have to ask the IMF to help us out of this mess then my previous statement stands. But I'm not going to argue the same point over and over again. It's boring.
So if you post again... you win.
Just one point, last time inflation was the problem more importantly wage inflation.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

My view is that the IMF will be called before the end of 2011, Darling's 'growth' figures are so far wide of the mark it's not funny, I don't think there will be a single quarter of growth before the end 2010, this year, in my view, we will see over -5% negative growth.
Well it is simple. I just don't agree

I agree but they also said
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is charging 2.95 per cent for a new mortgage in Ireland; in the UK, it charges 5.99 per cent for a similar product.
on the RBS website, it is clear that the product they refer to is the "5 year purchase fixed rate - first time buyer exclusive" which is 5.99% fixed for 5 years with no product fee and an LTV of 90%.
you can also get a 5 year fixed at 4.59% from RBS with LTV 75%, £299 fee.
RBS's presence in ireland is either first active or ulster bank.
5 year fix is 4.2% with first active, and 4.0% with Ulster Bank on their website, but no details on LTV required or product fees.
i think we can discard this article as a load of old carp now.0 -
feel wages are going down at moment, not really seeing any wage inflation on horizon right now at least
the major players (unions) in pushing for wage inflation seem to be a little weaker this time around - think we might see the effects of a much more informal workforce this time imoPrefer girls to money0 -
Do you think that after 5-6 pints we might agree on something.:D
Probably! need a pee
