Anybody get the money from the "we will find you a better mortgage or give you 100 pounds" offers?

No, as written, maybe you would do well to stop dreaming about the homelands of bonny scotland and figure a way of sailing there

So you send the current one plus an explanatory note pointing out that with their £100 offer, the effective cost of the mortgage is £100 less than the premium.

It doesn't make sense as written. One cannot "elude to" anything, so I think you must haev meant "alluded". The "eluded post" bit was just me pulling your leg about the "run away post".

And, by the way, I do sail there.

I think I will ! -- she doesn't seem to want to answer any valid questions reasonably, which probably speaks volumes for the quality of their business...

The quality of our business speak for itself and i do not need to justify this to anyone. I note neither you or any other ACL's have taken the challenge!!

All mouth and trousers as usual

You really ought to be able to justify it to your (potential) customers, though.

Why on earth would you presume that I was an ACL ?

Simply because you do not even know whether you are at home or otherwise. Not a prudent trait i would expect from a lawyer.

forgot to mention pedantic, oh and when together with the other ACL's oppressive in nature

He he!

Mortgage type - Natwest One Term Remaining - not sure exactly but about 20 years Amount Outstanding - nothing, the account is usually in credit. What I currently pay - Typically around minus one pound fifty in interest on the credit balance. Occasionally I do go "overdrawn" for a few days when I misjudge how much I can move into savings.

I know full well, and you'd also know if you simply took the trouble to look at my (fake) email addy -- " snipped-for-privacy@home.uk" gives the game away, I would think.

There you go again...

[Hint: I'm neither a lawyer nor an ACL, and you have no reason to suppose I would be either.]

You're doing wonders for your business cred, you know -- keep it up!!

Don't confuse her any more, Tim!

She'll be thinking that we don't know whether Tim is 'at home', 'not at home', or in the 'Wood's!

Te He,

That's me. There are two Tims regularly posting on this group.

I am not a financial professional, of any description

Currently, I'm not at home, at least not one that any organisation within GB expects to find me.

What *is* an ACL when it's at home (or even when not)?

Well, she said in full earlier: "Arm Chair Lawyer", so I presume she means that.

Teehee!

posting via a fake email, all adds weight

my meaning; you are not a lawyer and therefore an ACL

you must be one or the other, if you are not a lawyer then you deduction an ACL, and i have every reason to infer you are an ACL given your postings to this group:

2005- 1833 2006- 1404 2006- 1240 2007- 67

The posts over the years are reducing in number, I would put this down to a correlation with your age and/or your ability to grasp the issues raised.

I can give you a list of the college's that take mature students for the ACL course. You will find most of them here are old study colleagues.

Business credibility on this NG, are you are deluded.

Adds weight to what, exactly? What it shows is that I prefer not to receive more spam than necessary at my "real" addy.

Why bring law into it at all? Do I have to be either a (real) astronaut or an "armchair astronaut", as well? Which of a (real) actor or an "armchair actor" do you think I am?
