I thought this was going to be about an amnesty for poor ‘Swanny’ for all the OTT abuse he gets on here. Just shows how wrong you can be sometimes!
Back on track- Time to cash out your ‘worthless’ 1.8% interest ISAs and reapply for one at double the rate.

As someone who will benefit I don’t feel that much glee. There are young people recently on the property ladder who are going to be fecked. I feel very grateful that I did not live through times anything like this when I was young. I did once have a 15% mortgage but it didn’t last too long.

Mine was last October and I was surprised to get the new season ticket as an old git. Might have been a clerical error, but being an old git, the memory played up and I forgot to tell them.

As an old git myself you can rest assured that the club will reduce your payment at the start of the season. I pay for my season ticket by direct debit so (if I remember correctly) the club adjusted the amount pre-season - my birthday is also in October. You get the added bonus of reduced price tickets for away games too. Let’s hear it for the old dribblers!

Pretty sure the cut off date is in December so you should qualify for 22/23.

The most curious thing..
It's only gone back to a slightly more sensible rate, after the last decade of lunatic nothingness. I still find it hard to believe all those people who over-borrowed massively in the belief that interest rates would never return to "normal".

We will be getting more but returns are still pitiful and probably 6-7% less than current inflation so...useless.

They've probably got you in CCTV taking 20 minutes to get up the stairs to your seat and thought awww poor old codger let's just put him down as a old fart he deserves the discount for effort and stair climbing artistic impression.Mine was last October and I was surprised to get the new season ticket as an old git. Might have been a clerical error, but being an old git, the memory played up and I forgot to tell them.

Someone in my distant family - a retired dentist - was making 20k a month last week from interest alone... after this he’ll be coining it in even more so.
No mortgage ... the rich get richer whilst young working families like mine are absolutely f***ed.
MAN, life is great.
Enjoy your 3% you absolute bastards.
Sitting in your high towers, musing on heraldry ...

I knew my dentist was ripping me off but 20k a week, he must have Millions invested. Are you sure about that figure? 20k a month in interest?
Not fair to the majority of us old ‘uns.
I worked bloody hard (2 jobs some of the time) to pay my mortgage with interest rates in the teens at times. I’m certainly not rich, I don’t have a mortgage but I don’t have savings either. I can get by on my pensions and Mr P still works so that’s a bonus.
It wasn’t an easy time to get here to be sure!

I would stand by for the announcement from PB at the end of the season, where the age will be increased to 66 before the discount is allowed.
