So it's a self promotion thingy then ?

"He gave a 50-minute speech on the global economic crisis and how to prevent another one,"

Beni's Advice To Bankers;

Mortgages - only lend 80% of the property value.
Loans - only lend 80% 0f the security.
Unsecured loans - point client in the direction of the USA.

I'll take a cheque made out to cash - Thanks.:D

Most of the high ranking tories don't need to demean themselves by giving lectures. They were born with silver spoons, and increase their wealth effortlessly by offshore investments.

Re: 60 Grand for 50 minute speech

I recall when I applied for my first mortgage in 1961.
Then you had to have at least 20% in savings in the building society that you were asking, and you had an interview to judge your ability to repay. It looks like those days have returned, but that may well be a good thing in the long run - default and repossessions were very rare happenings.

Also -It wasn't possible to have another mortgage for a house to let out or use as a holiday home.
