    So finally admitting you are simply making things up to muddy the waters to create a little battle.

    Lovely.

    Shame for everyone else reading though eh.

    Oh graham read or go sit in a dark room and calm down.

    I said if 74% of people did not actually know if their mortgage would go up, down ,left, right, wear their pant on their head etc etc. their would be a lot of mis-sold mortgage cases going to court.
    That is because you get told and it is illustrated to you when you take out a mortgage. AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGG

    I said all this earlier.

    That is why I do not believe 74% of mortgage owners do not know if they would be paying more, less etc, etc if rates went up.(the article means they do not know in £'s not that they don't have a clue)

    Is it really that hard for you to understand that? if so, are you in the 74%.:D

    To Add, lets put some perspective on this.

    So they are saying 74% of people on variable rate mortgages do not know their rate can change.

    It was a whole paragraph on it's own. Bolded for effect, same as you have done up there. Apart from this time, you have underlined a word which never existed.

    I didn't know you were actually saying something else when you had bolded what you were saying. Sorry. You are correct, I don't understand, and neither could I have done. I simply read what you state, especially the bold parts...as bold reinforces what you state. Therefore I didn't understand you were actually saying something else. :)

    How long would you like to go on for today, before complaining I'm merely arguing and you are taking no part?

    aaaag,,

    You said the results where filtered so if that is the case that is what it would mean.
    The very fact that the second paragraph talks about those not knowing which rates they are on, and the line "which would make them unaffected by an interest rate rise" kind of tells us that the 74% initial paragraph is only looking at those who would be effected.

    So yes I stand by what I said, you are saying 74% on variable mortgages would not know their rate could change their would be a lot more people taking banks to court for mis-selling. (Do I really need to say why again)

    Stop changing attack, I have made my points clear, the survey is a marketing ploy for suckers like you.

    Give up before you get tied up any more !!!!!!.

    Devon never gives up with his 'I'm thick, please explain this to me and wreck a thread with pages of explanations and tangeants' ploy does he?

    I'm amazed that anyone falls for it, no one could be as stupid as he pretends to be!! Stop playing along with him guys, he does it to wreck threads that he doesn't agree with!

    Of course some property buyers are financial turnips, I would guess over 50% of the population are, probably most sample groups that you select you will find them there, why should property owners be any different?

    I'm not complaining though, as my wife usually says, don't get frustrated by it, this is why we have done well, you should celebrate it.

    I think you would find it would be quite difficult to spend that much at KFC! I think you would have to move significantly up market
