If so, you are all to blame for global warming : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6367235.stm

Oh, and if you're male then you are to blame for the levels of debt too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6361295.stm

And to round up my summary of the BBC website, our old friend Sayara Beg is back in the news: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6357331.stm

Have a nice Friday all.

It is necessary to borrow if you want to invest

It depends how you measure a carbon footprint. The report did not take into consideration for example the energy put into manufacturing a new car; so if a person changed their carbon footprint would go up by ten times. Nor has the energy consumed for producing unnecessary food like winter lettuce been taken into consideration. Therefore a young person eating salads all the year round and changing their new car regularly has a far greater carbon footprint.

as someone pointed out in the "bint in debt" thread, the restaurant business in london is fraught with risk, only 1 in 5(?) turning a profit

About 15 years ago in another life I was going to open a "proper" restaurant with one of my ex wives. I decided it was an easy way to lose 50K and decided against it. In hindsight it's generally a mug's game unless you can count on lots of the family helping out (if you know what I mean).

I still hate the way she has to drop stuff into her diary to try and make us feel sorry for you.

"My dad died", "I was pregnant".

Both of those can't disguise that you didnt do the sums or think before acting.

You had 2 BTL properties. Where was the rent going? You also opened a resturant then got pregnant.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Being able to fill out an application for a BTL mortgage and being able to raise the deposit required does not mean that you are some financial wizz kid.

She deserves a good old slap and needs to be lorded in front of the rest of the UK as an example of how now to do stuff.
