I'm not sure I get your point. Look, all I'm saying is people are free to support this current thing and people are free to criticize it.

Quote Look, all I'm saying is people are free to support this current thing and people are free to criticize it. Yet you appear to be upset that ECCOnoob was criticising your viewpoint.

Are you saying they should be silenced for their views? 3 minutes ago, altus said: Post #148. I really don't see how you arrived at that opinion.

What if the Halifax was offering 2%, or more, compared to Coventry's offer... ...or if the Halifax offering came other benefits that were particularly useful to you, that the others don't? 1 hour ago, Chekhov said: Why ? Because : 1 - One has to stand up for one believes in, ...just now much are you prepared to lose by "standing up for what you believe in"? 1 hour ago, Chekhov said: 2 - 0.1% is sweet FA anyway Sweet FA... colour me shocked! Let's face it, for all your bluster you can't even bring yourself to commit to it outright here... so much for that conviction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chekhov Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 12 hours ago, hackey lad said: Who are those you refer to as "in the middle" ? Technically anyone who is not 100% gay or 100% straight is "in the middle" I suppose, but the exact definition does not matter, the point is if a significant proportion of men who have gay tendencies if the circumstance were right, but could just as easily have a perfectly happy heterosexual life, then, if being gay becomes trendy (or even just has no stigma whatsoever) you will get more gay men. I am making no comment on if that is a good thing or not (apart from the fact I personally would like grand kids) I am just pointing out it is a fact.

The difference between 1.0% and 1.1% is 0.1%, or, depending on how you want to look at it, 10% more. But the latter is a bit irrelevant when the figures are so low. £5,000 at 1.0% is a measly £50 a year £5,000 at 1.1% is a measly £55 a year A massive £5 more, well worth me becoming a tax exile for.... My time having to open an account with another building society would be worth far more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am perfectly prepared to answer this question, it was you who quoted figures which I was answering. £100 would be acceptable, but, as it happens, I would not lose anything, because it is highly unlikely I would not be able to find another building society with rates as good as the Halifax.
