Loan for OAP?

badmemory

And I don't know one OAP that voted leave in this leave area. You should be blaming those in their 40s & 50s!

Excuse me! I too am a pensioner and I CERTAINLY DID NOT VOTE TO LEAVE THE EU!

Please stop generalising! I voted to join, back in 1974, was full of hope for the future and two years ago, I voted stay for the sake of my children and my grandchildren. However, I accept - grudgingly - that the Remainers lost on the vote, and therefore, I have to accept that we are going to leave. I am full of contempt for those politicians who do not have an idea of how to do it - but now, leave we must - for the time being. Hopefully, my grandchildren will vote to join again later.

Sweeping statements such as yours, Andrew, do nothing to improve the situation.

Nothing wrong with those in the 50s (I definitely never voted to leave!).

However, please feel free to continue to point a finger at those in their 40s.

I'll go see my bank and find out what the costs etc., will be.
Renting first would be a pain - I'd rather just buy, move and sell existing home asap after that.
Houses sell pretty fast around here, especially if you're willing to consider offers.

Back to the original topic. Go and see a broker not your bank. The bank can't give you advice, all the bank can do is sell you its own financial products.

Ho ho ho

Talk to a company like Age Partnership

This line gets trotted out a lot, the facts don't bear it out.


WW2 ended in 1945. To have realistically fought in the war you'd have at latest been 18 in 1945 and thus born in 1927. Someone born in 1927 would be 91 this year and statistically given the average life expectancy of around 80 in the UK, most are dead*. There are very few pensioners alive today who actually fought in WW2, the vast majority are the boomers who never fired a bullet.


*As of November 2017 for example there were just 8 Battle of Britain airmen left, of the DDay veterans, in 2014 under 500 were still left. Only 1 in 32 of the US servicemen who served are still alive

Plenty of wars since, Korea, Malaya, Cyprus, N Ireland, Balkans, Falklands. Need I go on?

Err, NO!

Me and the wife both voted remain.

(As did my parents who are in their 70's, my sister who is in her 50's. My brother couldn't vote because he has lived in Austria for 25 years).

Well, this has turned into a different topic hasn't it?
For the record: I voted Remain, I am tech-savvy (have built my own gaming PC), paid approximately £940,000 in Tax and National Insurance during my working mother life, and recently went to a Muse concert.
And I have more to get on with in my life than scour forums looking for posts on which to make random comments.
Now I am going to unsubscribe from my own post as it is no longer of any use to me.

P.S. Get a life Robert1974.

Hi its Andrew, not Robert

Andrew1974

Come to think of it, who is Robert?

That’s an unusually bigoted post for any time of year. It’s hard to imagine how messed up anyone could be to sit down at Christmas and post such vitriol.

What have you done in life to end up so bitter?
