savings slowly mounting up and the interest was put on, whoopeee i thought

intrest rates on savings may be low at the moment, but they will be going up, especially if Labour get in again. On the other hand intrest rates on borrowing is comparetively high. If you buy cash, you owe feck all and the intrest rates can't be hiked with inflation.

Ewokandtuck Loans and Savings have a scheme whereby we sell you money, instead of loaning it. To buy a pound it will cost you £1.25 tax free, P+P and insurance extra. If you take the pound that you bought and invest it in one of our 'Offshore' investment schemes you will be quids in. We pay 1.25% intrest p.a. (variable) which means after a year you will have your money back and start to accrue more intrest for you. Subject to set-up and management fees

Interest rates are not allowed to go up until I've finished uni and i'll be doing ritual magic to this effect! :) After that they can do what they want.
