Another logical and sensible post from RON, 98. (You don't sound that old Sir, btw).


Like Ron says, we're mostly screwed and the days of the sport car are limited.
In a decade it will be as socially unacceptable to drive one on the road as is drink driving today.

So, borrow the dosh and have fun, we're all screwed anyhow!

Party on.

On your next card though you'll never actaully get a 0% chop out.

All cards now levvy that annoying fee of about 2-3% of balance to make a transfer regardless.

Not the Barclaycard Platinum Says it has a fee but when you speak to them it doesn't incur one - partner has just transferred a balance to them and the 3% was waivered.

However 12 months down the line I realise this might not be the case but you never know - there will be others on offer - you just have to look.

Strange, there are not really any better offers, and you would assume they know this.

Thanks for the tip ladies & gents.
