RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.

    I've got it on channel 801 but it's really quite broken up/choppy.
    I'll watch it on Wales2 later.

    Watched it, just now.

    OMG bit of an eyeopener

    So the super rich have made their money and are off spending it whilst the rest of us pay for it via mortgage payments, tax etc:confused: A certain Ltd Rolls Royce has sold out so not only have they still got cash to splash but they are just looking for ways of spending it, as they have nothing to do whilst the credit crunch is upon us except spend their ill gotten gains from causing the credit crunch in the first place!

    And there is no incentive for this not to happen again... Whilst shareholders demand profits and do not care how the profits are created, its a vicious circle...

    So they get paid millions in bonuses to gamble with the banks money, any problems the bank gets bailed out.

    The execs on millions get taxed less than their cleaners was another statistic that shocked me :eek:
