Timm Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 18 hours ago, Pmax2020 said: I say they raise it to 0.25% tomorrow. They have to do it eventually so perhaps now is the time whilst folk are distracted by covid and Christmas. I think mortgage lenders have already edged up rates in line with that sort of rise anyway so not sure how the media spin it as something to be feared. Good call. *bows* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said to him, they all look rich because of the amount of dent they have. Got same thing from a guy in Africa about Yanks - I told him he was meeting the ones able to afford the ticket. He was horrified to find there are homeless left to die in US while folks can fly to Kenya to photograph a lion then sip cocktails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However some threads/posts have tended to be quite apocalyptic over the past couple of years and I personally like to know who is who before I give them any credibility. Yeah, sorry about that I do think we are on the edge of a vast sea-change. Things cannot keep going they way they are, something has got to give.
