Simple Choices really.....

And a public poll so Carol's multiple sock puppets can post if they like, but we'll all know.

Should the banks keep ripping off FTB's with higher interest rates? 12 votes

NO! It's already hard enough for FTB's without making them pay twice as much on interest

    Indeed.

    Also similar in obviousness as to whether or not FTB's think it's fair they be forced to pay twice as much in interest as non-FTB's.

    Edit: Where did chuck's post go?

    Oops sorry here it is again:

    I am hoping someone on the cooking forum does a poll on whether people prefer to eat really nice food or dog turds, similar I think in obviousness as to whether FTB's would like lower house prices

    This really is a poll on this board isn't it? An all time low reached I think.

    I think carol already reached that new low with her nonsense poll earlier.

    But you know me, never afraid to push the boundaries of the absurd.;)

    I think Martin forgot to feed the hamster again.

    I noticed it was on the "go slow". Restarted my browser and it`s up to speed again.

    Anyway, keep up the "absurd". ;)
