Takes all sorts.
I'd rather watch a program made by someone who might have a clue about the subject.'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0 -
Thanks - looks interesting.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

Looks good. The sooner people realise that we have a giant debt problem and that it can't be fixed with low rates and more debts the better.:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.

Funny how Peston and the BBC suddenly appear to have gained credibility
'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

In my view, Peston is one of the few BBC contributors who is predominantly independent. I don't buy all his explanations and I'm sure not everyone does.
After all, one isn't wise to let someone else do your thinking 0 -

The BBC simply "go with the flow" in my opinion.
During "the good times", they seemed eager to get Fionulalalalala from Nationwide to spout the good news every month. Now the mionthly figures from Haliwide hardly get a mention.
It''s taken a while, but they are now starting to ramp in the opposite direction.30 Year Challenge : To be 30 years older. Equity : Don't know, don't care much. Savings : That's asking for ridicule.0 -
Yes, it's amazing how !!!!ton get's all the News International and Murdoch scoops, and yet still remains "independent" :eek:'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0

"How the West went Bust"
Sounds more like a panto if you ask me.0 -
pity people are more concerned with who wins x-factor!
I can't listen to Peston - he's too montonal for me and could make an alien invasion seem boring if he read out the news on it...0
