Us posh people that post on here wouldnt have a clue. You may need to venture out onto one of those council estates to find out. Do take security with you and let us all know how you get on. Alternatively you could send a servant to find out for you. |

It depends on the person. I know one of the smarts people in the world when it comes to money but she lives in the ghetto. Her house is paid for, her cars are paid for her kids all went through college and all. She has two different bank accounts with plenty of money but she choose to live the way she does. So yes there are people like that. You can't judge a book by its cover. |

Generally there's only a groat or two left after buying our weekly supply of dripping and an old crust or two from the bakery so we generally keep it in a glass jar buried in the yard. |

I believe they do sir, but my husband, who has connections with the Bank of England has informed me that their 'salaries' are transferred "electronically" (some kind of automatic carrier-pigeon contraption) into these accounts. It appears that the banks hold onto these sums for a few days on order to skim some interest off these common folk. Likewise if one of them writes a 'cheque' the sum is removed instantly from the balance of their paultry earnings, but takes a further week to reach the payee. Luckily we wealthy aristocrats have gentlemen's agreements for financial transactions. Which reminds me, my husband says you owe him a few thousand at poker? Could you pop by with it old chap, he needs to buy me a new gown. |

The rich can not exist without the poor to succeed at the demise of. And it is the rich who fall the hardest when laying on their laurels for to long. Nature breaks you down because you are of no use to anyone when you stop trying to advance. |

Do you know Sir Marmalade, I believe they actually do these days. God knows what the world is coming to, but I suppose that's what they call progress.
But why in heaven's name are you working through the accounts? Don't you have a man, what are they called, accountants perhaps? to do that for you? ... haven't fallen on hard times have you, old man?

You tend to all your own accounts, my dear sir, brava...I tip my hat to you.
Commoners, or as you call them, the "gutter-class" folk are permitted to have an account with the bank, but they are subject to penalties & fees bringing them even farther in debt to begin with, hence, that's where the pot comes in. They just have to be carefull to keep the one they spit in separate from the one with the savings.
Very good question. |

Oh Sir Marmalade! why speak of those people, its uncooth, apparently, I heard at the club that if we paid taxes, we'd be paying thier salaries! (I'm told some are public servants now) along with something called "benefits". Ah well, let them eat cake!

No we just store it in our shoes for safekeeping...if you haven't quite noticed this isn't the 1800s class doesn't bother most of us to be honest. |

D'y'know I don't think they do, if their salary is anything like Cuthbertsons, then they would never have enough to open one. Cuthbertson keeps his pittance under a loose floor board in his potting shed / bedroom, or at least he did till I removed it. At 93 what the deuce would he want with money. On the off chance that they do, then it is about time that they didn't. If they have enough to save after buying gruel then they are being paid too much |
|
Oops, I did it again...........
|
Of course. |
