Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Me too, they were one of my big creditors so I hate anything to do with them.

Isn't the spiky haired one small? And the other one, Howard, isn't it about time that he was retired?

Yup, small, spikey, and a voice like he's been kicked in the balls a bit lol.

Howard, that was it. I think Ricky Gervais got it right in "The Office Xmas Special" re Howard. "If i wanna talk to you mate it'll be about mortgages, alright?"

22 and abit of debt.. that increased after coming back from Oz.

Actually there's a story there that shows just how stupid banks are (as if we all didnt know)

I was working crazy hours to save for my trip was putting about £2200 p/m into my current account but hsbc would only let me have a £250 o/d . Turned me down about 2 times after that for "not being able to show the salary to cover it"

Went travelling. Managed somehow t get to £500o/d and told them i was gonna bring back in o/d they said "dont worry and increased it to a £1000.. I hadnt even paid into it for 8 months!!! sheesh

You were at that point an easy target!

You were more likely to push the o/d to the limit therefore they could charge you more money. The minute they realised there was money to be made from you they helped you get into debt - I'm not saying it is their fault as we can all say no ta - you know what I mean?!

[:)]

At least you got to see some very interesting places!

I better go an get some kipp, could chatta all night but I don't think I would make work for 7am - what do you think the chances are?
[:D]

Have a lovely sleep! X

FYI

Howard will not be making any more adverts, he has been dropped.

Feel a bit sorry for him myself, seems like a decent enough, if very annoying in some ways, chap.
