Applied for an extra credit card before going abroad. My usual one is Visa and I wanted a MasterCard too. I own my own house with no mortgage and have no debts. That's the problem. I was discussing things with a financial advisor recently and he said he has come across a number of such cases where people have paid off all their debts. A few years later they suddenly need a loan in a hurry to mend the roof, or some such, and they have dropped off the credit rating radar screens and it becomes very difficult to find a lender. The computers says no because it hasn't been programmed to recognise prudence. MBQ |

For those with short memories, Mine's not so short I've forgotten Peugeot and the rest. this is the longest period of sustained growth It's all on borrowed money. Usually money borrowed from abroad. http://www.freeportplc.com/flash/index.html If you close down a coal mine and open a shopping mall on the site (even Europe's biggest mall) selling trainers which have cost £1.50 made by child labour in Vietnam, but which the punters pay £75/pair with their credit cards it's easy for the shop units to make a profit if they pay minimum wage rates to the shop assistants. It's easy for the whole mall to make a profit and make "Growth". Spot the fallacy. Ditto the buy to let building boom. OTT prices paid by borrowing on the speculation that in future they'll show a "loadsamoney" profit. Unsafe to have growth in the economy dependant on speculative bubbles, and elective/fashionable spending on credit. Unseemly to have growth in the economy depending on big retail operators making a 5,000 % profit on jeans, T shirts, and trainers at the cost of children in the third world.. Whilst nearly all ordinary people are squeezed out of getting a first house of their own. Even the poorest grottiest Victorian slum houses where the bombers lived in Beeston are Ca. £110k that would take much more than 2 average local salaries to get a maximum (3x) mortgage. Low inflation means that their mortgage won't be eroded away by inflation as was the case in my generation (not advocating inflation here BTW. It's just how we survived with enough money to bring the kids up). They'll still be struggling in 10+ years time. and near stable interest A world wide phenomena. rates in living memory. High taxation, maybe, but the Tories ain't promising any cuts. They can't , Labour have been in power for 9 years now, the tide is now going out beneath our feet. We *Are* being left "High and Dry". :-( DG |

For those with short memories, this is the longest period of sustained growth and near stable interest rates in living memory. High taxation, maybe, but the Tories ain't promising any cuts. Largely due to not rocking too many economic boats, abandoning all traditional labour economic policies apart from jobs for the boys, and reducing unemployment by getting all the dross off the dole and giving it a job enforcing some daft new legislation that the government has dreamed up. The **** is about to hit the fan whichever govt gets in. Of the three, the liberals seem least encumbered by ideology, but the Tories may have more sound business managers who can actually run things. I am hoping to a Tory liberal coalition. And never ever having to see Noddy. Big Ears and Two Shags Prescott on the box again. Not to mention the three blind mice, And the rest of the Fat Slags. |

The result of about 25 years of giving in to the unions, followed by 5 years of absolutely not. The same is about to happen again, because we have had about 10 years or more of living off the prosperity that was built in the 90's, which has been squandered on make work and consultants and getting unemployment down. |
