Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Mind you, if LD has had a mortgage since 1978, she was probably only paying £13.57 a month.

I took out my first mortgage in 1987 and the monthly payment (at 11% :-O ) was about £145. Plus the endowment premium (remember them?)

I think I paid about £100 a month when I started (1982-ish) Repayment type, bank staff mortgage! ;-)

The youngsters will all laugh at us now. :-)

Indeed... though whether they'll laugh because of how little we were paying each month, or how high the interest rates were, is anyone's guess. The second mortgage I took out in 1989 was at 13.5%.

Not exactly exciting, but bizarre. Was about to leave the house this morning when I looked out of the window and saw a dead thrush (apparently) lying in the middle of the patio. Didn't look mauled at all, but legs were sticking out stiffly and no sign of movement. Couldn't stop to investigate, so went out intending to deal with it later.

But later, no sign. No feathers, no blood. Possibly it had flown full tilt against the window and knocked itself out, and later recovered.

If so it was lucky, as there are lots of cats in the neighbourhood.
