    This is exactly were this country is going wrong...yet again the banks and bankers get away from the blame. They are the ones who created this current downturn in economy by being so damn greedy. .

    Dear Mr Bank Manager
    I can't afford to pay my debts and raise a deposit for a property. Could I please borrow [STRIKE]100%[/STRIKE] 125% for a mortgage and I promise to pay it back, even though I can't even afford a deposit. When I realise my stupidity and it all comes crushing down around me I would like you to take the blame and for me to get off scott free. After all it wasn't my fault you twisted my arm and made me take this extra burden on.
    Kind regards
