Another pointless thread
Don't you just love banks?
Not in the slightest.
Parasitic institutions.
Just debating whether the clouds to the west will make a sunset or not.
The other day was one of those never get light days then suddenly the sun broke through and we had a fabulous sunset. No time to get anywhere to photograph it of course, but I enjoyed it from the living room window.
Don't you just love banks?:
A few years ago the firm I worked for went bust with nothing left to pay my salary nor redundancy payment; there were no other jobs going so I set up on my own and asked the bank if they would tide me over if I got short. An acting manager said head office turned me down despite having been a good customer for a number of years, but he said he would ignore head office and extended me credit. As it turned out I didn’t need it but I never forgot his kindness, sadly the next time I saw him he was back behind the counter and a keen young thing had taken over.
The postscript is I would probably have switched banks without this gesture so they would not have benefitted from my company account growing year by year, needless to say they keep offering me loans and credit now when I don’t need it.
Apart from this rare example they live up to the adage that banks will lend you a brolly when the sun shines but take it back when it rains.

...poor Harry and Megane!
Just leave them alone and let them get on with their lives, it's enough to drive a man to drink...

I'm off the drink, and trying to lose some kilos. Not a New Year thing - I only started last week. So far the scales readings are making up for lack of booze.
I don't comment on the news but...

The first thing Google throws up in a search for Renault Megane is headed 'Megane - Perfect for everyday life'. Perhaps Harry saw it...
On another subject, is a small glass of my wife's sloe gin drunk late at night likely to have been the cause of not being able to sleep well for the first few hours of the night? Is a confirmatory test needed tonight? Is anyone around here an expert on such matters?

When my son was trying for a mortgage they tookhis rent into account...

As he said at an interview when he applied again, "The rent will be what I'll be paying the mortgage with"
He got a much better offer that time and now has a house of his own, which with running costs is still cheaper than his rent was...
