I don’t judge the suicide.

I look at some of the degraded bums on the streets of los angeles and genuinely wonder why some of them haven’t killed themselves.

I'm probably stating the bleeding obvious here but it's not always that obvious to everyone.

When most of the former mutual building societies turned into banks and paid so-called windfalls to their members of up to and around £1,000, this wasn't a windfall at all. Not in the long run.

I think a mortgage with a mutual building society is still cheaper, on the whole, than a bank. Building societies do not have to pay shareholders, only members. And you are a member just by virtue of having a mortgage with them.

I've always thought that building societies are the best place to have your mortgage ... and banks the best place to have your bank account. Call me old fashioned if you like. But I like to stick with the institutions who know what they're doing.
