    .5% isn't going to kick-start anything - it just takes the screws off a turn. But it is some relief.

    I suspect ordinarily a 1% drop would have been more appropriate for the economic climate. But at this time of year it could also have sparked an excessive Christmas shopping spree.

    Let's look on the bright side. Fuel costs down and interest rate trends turned - the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to show.

    I have no idea what you lot are on about.

    For the first time in my life I have bucks in the bank and no debt - doing what I have been preaching to you about.

    So I think the interest rate should be increased .
    Christmas is going to be bleak for me - this is not what I ordered.

    Minority Rules.
