Another bank reports a nice little earner for the past six months (Lloyds) and that nice Mr. Cameron seems to be getting a bit shirty about it – they MUST lend he says.
Erm, why don’t YOU lend your hard-earned old chuck? Is it a bit too risky? Or have you got none? Tough old world isn’t it?
I’m waiting to see what RBS shares are doing – when all this strife kicked-off me and a mate watched ‘em drop to 12p!

And, Mr. Cameron wants council-housing to be on a short-lease basis. So if you’re in one and you pull a bundle you can ‘be moved on’ to Private housing or buy your own – which will allow someone struggling to live in your ex-council-house.
It sounds ok but, as ever, government policy ‘gently’ eases folk into not pulling a bundle or not so big a bundle, as you might say, rather than the more difficult option.
We’ve just sold our house! (The council are going mad!)
