    I thought that someone had already done that, which is why they had the problem.

    I was reading the "APR on a "thanks with a beer" thread....:beer:

    Anyone dare suggest that to the teacher that they should charge compound interest if the person isn't paying every day for their lift?

    :rotfl: Jesus then we would have no one talking to us, that sarcastic lot from the £/$ thread.

    :A :rotfl: :beer:

  • 16:06 13Mar09 (GBP) BoE policy: 0.5% to prevail for several months

    (16/03) The economic recession is intensifying despite all the monetary and
    fiscal stimuli that have already been applied, and indeed the sharp
    depreciation of GBP and the boost to purchasing power wrought by the fall in
    oil prices.

    This lays bare the damaging effects of the impairment of the
    monetary transmission mechanism, as well as the worsening economic prospects
    for the UK's key trading partners.

    With the Bank Rate now at 0.5%, the BoE is
    loathe to reduce the rate any further for fear of exacerbating the economic
    downturn, So recourse to GBP75bn of quantitative easing for the next 3 months
    has been sought, in an effort to directly expand money supply growth and bring
    down longer term borrowing costs.

    But by all accounts, the bulk of the
    additional reserves being created to finance the BoE Gilt buying is thought to
    be going straight into the hands of mostly banks and hedge funds. So, before
    long the BoE is going to have to step up its direct purchases of corporate
    paper.

    We think the Bank Rate will stay at 0.5% for the next year at least.

    ok. that's the second thing that's pee'd me off today.
    firstly our office gets broke in to. I get called at 11.12, 11.42 and 12.20 last night. I can't do anything as I've had a little bit too much falling down liquid to drive in.
    so, i have to get up at 5.30! that's just not cricket....

    and then.... they change the forum names and I can't find this thread for literally 30 seconds...

    on the positive side, i did play to my handicap in the comp on saturday and was +6 after 15 holes yesterday (missed 3 so i could get back to watch the cricket - that was worth it!!!!)
