    Now imagine those credit card companies that provide you with cheap cash clue up to your spending patterns and demand immediate repayment of debt using small print in Terms and Conditions ...

    You'll have to engage in a sockie fire sale!

      It's the difference between bankrupcy and happy everlasting list.

      Do you have the fooking money right now? No? Then you are skint.

      Remember #1 rule - have good cashflow, even if it means not making a tenner a month on deal that can go more sour than Toxic Waste.

        I think we've learned a real lesson today folks.

        That lesson should be engraved on all our hearts.

        It should be printed in letters 6 feet tall and posted from billboards everywhere.

        The lesson is "Don't argue with AtW, because every time you do a little orphan boy dies!". Probably.

          Feck me. Did your mother drop you on your head when you were a child? I have the money, I have to pay a penalty to access it. The penalty is higher than borrowing it elsewhere. The interest I get on the invested money is higher than the borrowing. To get a higher interest rate you have to lock it in, otherwise you get the interest on a current account which is less than the amount to borrow it.

          And don't PM me again. I don't have £50 to invest in your company this month and yes I would want more than the 50% you offered last time.

            WHS.

            Now I'm off to modify my Travel Lodge macro to factor in the cost of mileage between different locations to get the best overall price.

              I know it's AtW, but even so the fact someone running a bona fide business doesn't get the concept of cashflow and credit is simply stunning.

              Can you imagine AtW getting questioned on Dragons' Den?

                Or never argue with an idiot as you'll always lose. They will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

                  Duncan Banatyne set up his first nursing home by selling everything, using every last penny and maxing his credit cards to the hilt. AtW keeps his in a penny jar under the bed.

                    This means you don't have the money.

                    It's like to say - I've got lots of money invested into shares but if I sell them it will be at a loss, well - there you have it: if you can't use it then you don't have it, maybe you can get some credit using that money as a collateral but it will cost you.

                      I've invested money I've saved in the first 5 years of me being a FTV in the same company where MF worked before I replaced him - that was priceless. Ever since he holds a grudge.
