Just found this quote online, so maybe it is true

 

Bank of England data shows that total household deposits now stand at £1.6 trillion and grew by a staggering £124 billion between January and November 2020. In 2019, deposits increased by less than £50 billion over the same time period, marking a 148% increase in a single year

Thought so

averages are clearly misleading, there will be big winners and big losers

Yes, cash savings - I thought it sounded a lot, but then I think they said it's probably only an average around 4000 per working person. I know that we've saved quite a bit between the 2 of us in the last 9 months than we ordinarily would, so it sounds plausible, 

a lot jobs ive done in past 4 months 

80% of them have offered me CASH 

i just said bank Transfer will do 

nout to spend the bastard cash on

Some bloke on the radio earlier reckons that over the lockdown period, there has been an extra £150B put into people's savings - which seems an incredible number. I know some are worse off, and some will be better off, but I wonder as an average if families will now have more or less in savings than they did pre-COVID

We've pretty much spent all ours now.

My income is down over the last 12 months including grants from the government. Our outgoings though are down considerably more. No holidays, meals, pub, football, fuel, clothing, haircuts etc.

We therefore have more in savings than we had last year. I’d rather it was the other way round though.

It's not savings as such, but at work we had a new starter who worked for an airline and had been placed on long-term furlough. After he started working with us, he was getting 80% of his wage from his job at the airline and 100% of his wage for his full-time job with us.

Yes. But he will have been hammered for tax on the job with you depending on what he earned at the airline of course. 
 

If he hasn’t it’s by error and he’s got a fucker of a tax bill waiting for him when they get to him.
