    i wasnt aware that it was a forum rule that posts had to be written in sentences nore in any form of proper grammer , ive been waiting for u to give a negative response to my postings from today ,,,,,u dont disappoint do u ,,,,:rolleyes: ,,,,,,:rolleyes: ,,,,, :rolleyes: ,,,,,:rolleyes: ,,,,,,,,,:rolleyes:

    btw ,,,, with 500.00 now moving into Loughborough BS per month ( base rate + 2.50 gross guaranteed for 2 years) and 500.00 a month moving into yorkshire BS ( currently 7% gross variable a year) makes a " up to" 6.25% gross variable heavily advertised monthly saver as much of a joke as the tv ads are themselves dont u agree ,,,,,:rolleyes: :rotfl: :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    So do you actually have two accounts yet? and are you from outside the operating area - ie in light of their restriction this morning are they still allowing existing customers to open 2 accounts?

    I can only agree with Ray. You can write how you like, but I won't bother reading any more if you can't write in English.

    Top marks for the last post though - almost correctly punctuated! A question mark would help, though.

    my advice to u would be to make contact with loughborough BS in the same way as i have done as its not for me to say whether what applied today will apply tomorrow ( before a witty response is fired back from somebody im aware that tomorrow never comes because theres always a tomorrow,,,,,) so i mean any day after today ,,,,,,,,,

    loughborough BS could decide at any time to close the issue completely and either issue another reg monthly saver + with lower interest rate ( similar to what saffron BS did with their e-saver ) or might withdraw monthly saver + completely or might keep things as they are in which case u could suggest that existing members are treated the same as locals ,,,,thats assuming loughborough BS dont accept second applications from non local existing members as a matter of course ;)

    I have seen other people do it. Sometimes it seems to be a substitute for "...", used by people who talk in once continuous stream of consciousness with random pauses (hence the "..."). :confused:

    It's not even shown on their website any more - has it been withdrawn completely, or is it still available to locals?

    i had a feeling it would be withdrawn after 310307, it was on loughborough site this morning, u are entirely correct apart from being listed within interest rate guide, product details are no longer displayed :p
