I was watching the news with Mrs 85 and she asked me to explain about the Bank of England's 1.5% cut in interest rate.
Well, sez I, "when (if) we get a cut in the mortgage repayments, the government want us to keep the economy going by spending more money. They give it to us so that we can spend it and give it back. It's like a kind of tax, so when I go to the Boat Show on Sunday, I HAVE to spend a lot of money to help Great Britain out of recession!"
Think she fell for it ??
No, me neither
