It saturated TV with advertising ages before pools companies wire allowed to do so. Minimum age for lottery tickets is 16, but for the pools it's 18. So how much money will the lottery donate to the Tory Party this year? Barry Cunliffe, Bury, Lancs ——————————————————————————————————2/8—— 60 words max. Letters may be amended.

Who, apart from building societies and other mortgage lenders, will benefit from another house price boom? Will they ever learn? Thousands of people are stuck with negative equity.

Nigel Griffiths states that borrowers could pay over one million per cent interest on unauthorised bank loans. This would mean a £100 loan could cost £100,000,000 a year. If Mr Griffiths believes this hj should sit in the the corner and wear a hat with a very large "D" on it. C M Smith, Witnjy, Oxford ——————————————————————————————————6/8—— 60 words max.
