  • yes, I keep picturing people standing on street corners eating discount jam tarts.

    I'll admit it, of late I haven't been paying as much attention to the other boards but I do receive your email ;D
    not smelly, not a cat.

    If you read the full details about the tart alert - you'll see why. Basically credit card tarting is what you call moving 0% to 0% to 0% - tarting your custom.

    I differentiate between two approaches

    Being a tart
    Having a stable relationship

    Hi im just a newbie :-[

    but i would like to say thanks Martin :) and everyone else who spends their time keeping MSE running ;)

    i have passed on this site to people and students who have a few money problems as well as looking for freebies :D

    if i ever get the chance to meet you guys, the beer is on me ;)
  • To Martin, I would just like to say that whenever I catch you on TV you always mention the Citizens Advice Bureau, and I have to say many thanks. I worked there for 10yrs as a volunteer and know the good work they do, especially the money advisors, the one I knew worked much more hours than expected and the Bureaux as a whole deserve a mention.
    Thanks very much AnnieP
  • Thanks for a great site, Martin.
    I listen to you every week on Steve Wright.
    Keep up the great work.
    Screw them before they screw us. ;D
