    If true, then they are clearly living way beyond their means & their own fault

    (except those that have suffered a loss in income, of course:wink:)

    I smell a nasty whiff from some peoples bots. Got it in my family, big mortgages, still spending like water. Mind you they are young, been bought up in the boom times.

    Yet I feel some real VI going on here. Well loads of it.

    However, and I mean this, I hope each and everyone of you get everything sorted. So much misery in the world. None of us want it. We are here for only a time. What contributes to human happiness, I ask . Quit the snipping and start cooperating .

    When I first took out my mortgage the base rate was 7.8%, I was paying 11.3%. Mind you, I had a job then.

    Interesting old Pobby complains about 'abuse' and then posts stuff like this and expects people not to respond. Not a surprise really considering how weak he is. It's a common trait with hipocrytes, lack of intelligence is common too.

    Not really, it's common sense.

    It's Pobby I feel sorry for, the old boy doesn't know if he's coming or going.

    Ah chucky, a little point scoring AGAIN ! Weak am I, well maybe you might be right. At least I am not some bitter little person who seems to take great delight in putting people down.

    So once again little Billy Spotface shows his true colours. Btw, there is a new boy starting and he is even smaller than you. Bet you can`t wait.

    Shame you didn`t take on board my last statement which I quote.

    Yet again you wouldn`t. Have a nice day.
