    Please don't try and come in and do your usual muddle, here's exactly what shortchanged said, higher not high.

    Yer, that's what I said. :undecided

    You have accused me of lying, for stating he said "higher" and have come back stating what he actually said was "higher".

    You're a very confused (and confusing) individual chucks.

    And that's what I said. You've become too much of an expert in muddling. High, higher he said both, end of. Be free to lie though.

    You lied about claiming there was going to be a triple dip recession and you've lied now. It's getting to be a common occurrence for you. Maybe it's due to your online meltdowns.

    But... It's good work distracting the thread to save your online buddy from explaining what he meant with his soundbites. Well done Mr Muddle.

    I can answer it, you're the one claiming high interest rates are good for the housing market but can't explain why.

    I've copied what you said, and highlighted in bold, pretty colours and italic what you said....just incase you still find yourself struggling to understand your own words.

    Savers want higher interest rates.

    Mortgage holder want lower interest rates.

    Why do you think higher interest rates would be good for the housing market?

    So you didn't say "high rates" as per my pretty coloured, highlighted post, which was the one I quoted in my response?

    Must be my bad. I mean it's there, quoted, stated by you, but you didn't say it. I must be muddling things.

    Good to have you back chucky. Shame you missed nollag by the way. He came to the forum a short while after you left. Invested in the same areas as you (seemed to jump around too). He left just before your re-appearance, which is a shame as theres so much in common which you appear to have missed out on.

    Now you're going onto the multiple user name thing. Says it all really that you can't back up what I apparently said so you've lied and now gone onto something else now.

    How's your gambling going, have you put a bet on lately?

    I posted you a link to what the Guardian said when Santander put their rate up to 4.74% last August. I expect three or four posters on this site said they couldn't afford to pay it too. Many more households were affected than this. Doesn't look as if it's going to affect repossessions at all.

    What's so very different about this? Quite an exciting leap in the rate and household budgets will need some readjustment but the rate is low even by recent standards.

    We are with Santander and I have the option of keeping my IO mortgage and going onto their SVR rate, getting a repayment mortgage deal with them or moving elsewhere.

    I'm moving to Britannia, 5 year fixed at 2.79% fee free. I dare say many others will vote with their feet from the lenders who start profiteering.
