    Even if you did - you didn't make the rules.

    Doesn't it all look so daft in hindsight thought? It looked pretty silly at the time to be fair.

    PS Gordon Brown 'Monitoring Situation Very Closely'. Why does that not make you feel any better?:p
    Thankfully the bank I work for has been cautious all along.

    But anyway, with Gordon Brown taking care of us, we'll be okay, right?? :eek:

    Are you reading Robert Peston by any chance? I am just looking at that exact phrase! (well, not this second, obviously, because I'm typing, but.....)

    Thank you Spud, that's so sweet.

    Yes, all okay so far. We are probably the least likely to go under. Doesn't mean it can't happen though, but fingers crossed we will be okay.

    I love my job.....sniff.... :(

    (I wasn't saying that a year ago was I?! Funny how things change.)

    That's good hun :o
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    You're right about that - the immediate effect, if they can't rescue it, is that the inter-bank rate will soar even further. Short term mortgage rates could go up to the dreaded 15% again.

    As I say, they've got to find an answer - the consequences are unthinkable.
