    Why do you have this in your signature?

    Are there no figures in the six months since then, that you could use?

    He's on strike. He's so militant he refuses to even update his signature. Stick it to The Man.

    Just read some of his old posts.

    Rather than being on strike, he probably should be on medication!

    Your the one that requires medication. Or locking up in a darkened room. :)

    Over on hpc.co.uk this news has hit them like a broadside from the HMS Hood.

    To be honest I am pretty shocked too. How venal are this government? It is like those who are priced out and renting are being ground under foot as if they dont even count.



    Not often but this post made me laugh my head off.
    I'm stuck working in China with no Facebook or Youtube..

    That's for cheering me up.....:rotfl:

    His signature is just fine.
    It's a clear disclaimer to all on this board that whatever precedes the signature shouldn't be taken seriously either. :)

    2012 was HSBC.

    Merely demonstrating how little impact Paragon will have on the UK lending markets. The scale of the operation is tiny.


    According to the Guardian, the CML reported that mortgage lending to home-owners during 2008 plummeted to £39.7bn. Your figure was £78bn lending by Lloyds and HBOS alone.

    Paragon may indeed have little impact on UK lending markets, but there is always a statistic to prove whatever you want to prove.

    Lending is gross not net, i.e. before repayments and redemptions.

    Another stat for you. In the first 6 months of 2007. Northern Rock provided 1 in 5 all new mortgage advances.

    Like I said, statistics are little more than opinions with numbers attached!
