Londoners be warned!

January 25th, 2009 — 09:46 am

We love our gadgets from our i-Pods to our mobile phones some of us can’t leave our houses without them! With one in ten people being the victim of bag-snatching, we need to either leave our valuables safely and securely at home or get some decent possessions insurance in case our bags are stolen or even lost!

According to the article “Look out there’s a Bag Snatcher about!” two thirds of us transport our valuable gadgets around with us. You can’t blame a desperate thief for grabbing your bag as experience has probably taught him (or her) that there are more riches within a handbag or ‘man-bag’ than a mobile phone and a credit card or two!

If you live in London, especially, you are more likely to be a victim of this kind of crime than if you live in Wales. Londoners you have been warned!

As the Madeleine fund is paying the McCanns mortgage and living expenses I am interested in finding out how much of the money that was donated by good people to HUNT for Madeleine and leave no stone unturned is being diverted from this to pay the mortgage on the McCanns 600,000 pounds house and I wonder how long this situation will remain.

John A asked:


We have seen reports that repossessions are at a 7 years high. If banks and building societies are so clever and have such brilliant investment strategists, why do they always expect the housebuyers to take the brunt of their failings in predictions of interest rates ? Why when the economists ***** up is it always the poorest that get hit first ?
