Borrowing money becomes an addiction after a while. If you cannot repay the overdraft you already have, how are you going to pay back an increased one?! Bank managers must be mad

It does not surprise me ...folk follow like sheep
Bank managers...love it ..keeps the busy and in a job...charge them a high arrangement fee and push the interest up...they love it...remember they are only front men talking to the farmer....the decision is taken above him...he just passes on the good or bad news and some farmers are so screwed they don't haggle the bank on anything...but they would haggle me or you if they were buying something from us
