Well credit card balance transfers are low at the moment. If we can get Tescos to take 1.2 Trillion at 0% for 24 months and a 1.5% balance transfer fee were laughing.

I wouldn't worry. It's not like we have that much debt.

Fill your car up with fuel and keep doing the lottery. About as a much as you can do now..

Fitch becomes the third ratings agency to downgrade UK credit rating

Doooooom - but don't worry Brexit folk say all will be fine.

The agency just announced in a press release that it was downgrading the UK from an AA+ rating to an AA rating.

Fitch believes that uncertainty following the referendum outcome will induce an abrupt slowdown in short-term GDP growth, as businesses defer investment and consider changes to the legal and regulatory environment.
