Up 0.75% to 3%.

Which is still low.

15% in 1990.

I paid 16.5% because I had no money, so needed a 100% mortgage. :)

Inherited a decent sum in 1987 never had a mortgage since, but remember those times well.

Its been so low for so long, if idiots didn't make hay while the sun shone, I'm going to have to look very hard for any sympathy.

New tyres on the Disco will help build up debt ;D

I've got a pair of wheels in with my local garage for new tyres, and will be over £500 poorer.

Surely a cheap pair of Wanli Ditchfinders would suffice for a low powered derv. ::) ::) ;)

For a rough estimate just take 25% from the NM to get the lbs ft👍
