You've got the wrong end of the stick, she's just doing some voluntary work in a soup kitchen while the readies roll in from Foxtons.

Din, if she has £300 a week left over, then she's laughing anyway, ISA subsidies or not.

SL, what? She's an estate agent? Or a shareholder?

Mark if you don't get your own satire I dont why you bother if you think that her saving 300 quid is absurd then in that spirit of mirth then that is why she is laughing

Neither, she's a retired investment banker. Not the sharpest tool in the box, but her family are loaded and after putting her through Oxford they put a bit of business the way of her graduate employer.

She didn't piss her bonuses away on champagne and hookers, but hoovered up a few nice flats in W6 before getting married, then leaving work to become a full time Mum.

Foxtons just rent her six properties out, as she can't be arsed these days. One of the other Mum's got her involved in the soup kitchen every other Thursday afternoon.

Din, I don't do satire, I don't have a sense of humour. I was just glad that the Halifax explained it so nicely with one simple picture :-(

Maybe next time they can show a smiling car crash victim with the caption "At least he took out permanent disability insurance" or something.

SL, good back story. That's the sort of thing which Jake Peralta thinks up :-)

Satire aside, she most likely is actually a model, not a dinner lady, and, if she gets plenty of work, might well have enough money left over to put in an ISA.

B, good point, there must be plenty of work for jovial, rotund, middle aged Afro Caribbean models/film extras.

Yup, especially now that the BFI has got the bit between its teeth about "diversity".

B, being fair, Afro Caribbean people are over-represented in TV advertising, but that is really badly paid, so overall, you stand to earn a sight more if you are white etc.
