Bloody hell that's quite the leap - that's now almost as much as my half of our rent here. No wonder folk are angry, if folk don't have the money to cover it and carry on as normal (and lets be honest most don't) how are people expected to cope? Hope you get it sorted. If not, I've got a lovely room here I can illegally sub-let for only £400 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunak was on the radio last week telling folk to just extend the term of their mortgage and to remember they are sitting in an asset. The prick. Sure that will be of a consolation to Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Was listening to the News Agents yesterday and they mentioned the barges being like the prison Hulks mentioned in Great Expectations, what a great equivalence - I'd forgotten about Victorian prision Hulks that were temporarry but lastest nearly 100 years basically to put people to forget about them. By the light of the torches, we saw the black Hulk lying out a little way from the mud of the shore, like a wicked Noah’s ark. Cribbed and barred and moored by massive rusty chains, the prison-ship seemed in my young eyes to be ironed like the prisoners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to get much worse in the next couple of months, it'll make the financial crisis of 2008 look like small fry to most people because it'll directly hit them very quickly.

Higher interest rates, over a longer period of time.....how generous of them. - Although, as we all know interest rates can go up as well as down, and they've been on the floor for years, so there was only one way they were going to go. As more and more people come off their fixed rates, we're going to see/hear more stories like Kent's, one of my mates is seeing an increase in excess of £1K per month!! Sadly, the only way through it for most people, will be the extending of the payment terms Edit: just thinking about it, I wonder if some banks will also offer, like they did at the start of the Pandemic, the facility to "not pay" your mortgage for 1,2 or 3 months (again, this just does increase what you pay back eventually) Edited August 15, 2023 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're not voting for a party based on its former leaders, then after Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss & Sunak, the Tories might as well fold.

Traf Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Different tactics for different battles. He wouldn't have got the leader's job with his current 'policies' and can't win an election with his old ones. Being able to change your mind is a sign of strength, not weakness.
