underscored Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 6% a month wouldn't have been great in the old Zimbabwe dollar. How about a link? Today I had my one-to-one with my manager. I requested that I am paid in housing units and stock from now on, the pound seems pretty useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambam Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Today I had my one-to-one with my manager. I requested that I am paid in housing units and stock from now on, the pound seems pretty useless. I worked in one of the banks, I took a fat daily rate. Their fulltime staff were happily subscribing to their share scheme, 10% below market price or whatever it was. A few months later, share price is down 95% and my cash, while somewhat devalued, at least buys me a part-share in a stabby flat in Stabsville.

Is this one of those, 'the banks won't lend, so we need to sucker retail into our worthless bonds' scheme?

19 year mortgage 8itch Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Are we talking 2nd class stamps? I got a dozen last week, I'm sitting pretty. So I'm going to SEW and get some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have a winner. 50p today, 53p as of March 1 Unfortunately you can't just cash them in, you pretty much have to use them or sell them on at the new face value Edited February 28, 2014 by JPJPJP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
