Re: Household saving is down
Make of this what you will , it's a post on another non prepping related forum I use. While I can't fault the exact details and benefits if one stays in control and pay back each month but I still can't really get my head around the concept of borrowing as a rule.

Re: Another little step towards a cashless society.
COG? Sorry to sound dim but is that continuity of government ? It's an acronym I hadn't come across and a google came up with that which seemed the most logical. Deeps , Plymtom I quite like the idea of different voices but do also remember a bit of a fad for celebrity voices on satnavs that got old...
