You think a Ford is the bees knees.?. Joke lol

Err no. I said my favourite car is a BMW. You didn't read all I had put before replying. My points on the fiesta were because you had taken notes from a car mag whereas I corrected you on the trim etc.

Watch thi-sen Brin, if your lass wants a new model [car], she might be looking for a new model [man], she
might weigh thi-in, for a younger version.

ELK, She could do pal but she knows she'll never get a better model than me, cosmetically yes, but when you you look under/inside the body she knows she's got a good vintage in me

The mondeo was probably the best car Ford made.

Son once owned a ST Mondeo and it was a bag o' s.hite. Cost him arm and a leg to keep it on the road. On his last repair he got it roadworthy and traded it in pronto! pity the poor fecker who ended up buying it.

I had one of the original jelly moulds a red one.

That was the most exciting thing about it.

Not good, not bad, just functional

On about mortgages, my wife worked for Ben-Bailey homes, [later Gladedale] for 28 years, looking
after show-houses, times she said to me, that young-uns buying one of the new houses, that they
would be up for re-sale after 6 months, which happened a lot, they could not afford to keep the
repayments up.
Really bad now for quite a few mortgage payers, the mortgage rate rise, will have hit them, then
along with the energy rises, cost of living etc.

That's the problem nowadays ELK. The young uns of today just want a nice shiny house, where as our generation usually started in the terraced house. Lived in it a few years and upgraded to the Semi and eventually Detatched/Bungalow. The young un want to just go to the top and really struggle, especially when kids come along. Mrs packs work in or pays a fortune for Child Care..

What made me laugh was labour blaming truss for the crash and killing the pound but when it came back to 1.19 the comment was. The pound is strong but it's nothing the government has done, it's because the dollar is weak .. haha talk about changing the goal posts to suit the agenda

Yeah and that old egg, "we pay for our oil in $ so it costs more now"......never mention it when the £ rises

ELK, all well and good these interest rates but look who you may be saving with....

Union Bank of India, Atom Bank, First Save and Zenith Bank .....yeh all high street banks...no thanks!

Quite happy to have moved my savings recently from the Coventry (2%) to the Leeds (3.45%), 60 days loss of interest for an early withdrawal. Not as high the those mentioned but I know where it is and it's safe.

I thought I read recently where the HSBC were offering 5% on their savings accounts but there'll be a maximum on that.

One English saving's bank here for you Brin -

.......... Provider .........----- Rate ---- ........ Min/Max ........ ---- Term ---- ...... Method ......

Hampshire Trust Bank ...... 3.97% ...... £1 to £250,000 .... ... 9 months ... .... Online .......

Hampshire Trust Bank ...... 3.5% ........ £1 to £250,000 ........ 6 months ........ online .......

Hampshire Trust Bank ...... 4.3% ...... £1 to £250,000 ........ 1 year on maturity Online...... ...

9 months @ 3.95% payment - £1,000 = £29.63 interest xxx £5,000 = £148.15 interest

6 months @ 3.5% payment --- £1,000 = £17.50 interest xxx £5,000 = £87.50 interest

One Year @ 4.3% payment -- - £1,000 = £43.00 interest xxx £5,000 = £215.00 interest

I guess it's the absence of a f*ck up and you have to give this government credit for that.
