    Most 'un-blues', really.

    Halifax HTB newbuild application submitted at 12:38 on 27 April was offered today, 29 April.

    Wow!

    I see this site's favoured broker is going to get stuck in and carry some of the load the rest of us have been carrying for their benefit for the last few years.

    Hopefully, we'll see some good technical knowledge to help people in practice and not just links to web articles.

    So if MSE luv you enough you can respond to posts by putting links to your website up on the Forum?

    Our website carries enough information to manage just about half the queries here but I understood we were not welcome to link.

    I suspect the rep will be more about brand protection and less about general education.

    Happy to be wrong..

    Hope you are all well..

    I notice MSE now indulging in a little 'Brand Protection' by starting a thread encouraging viewers to ask L&C questions.

    I'll have to empty the bins in the office, cos something stinks.

    Although it does say they are here to answer "its customers questions" so presumably only L&C clients or MSE?

    Presumably worded that way to avoid FCA interest ref promotion Dave.

    First client call re SDLT was at 1.42.

    Think that was about two minutes after Hammond said it. Anyone else beat that record?
