I'm currently writing a short satirical story about life in London, based on stereotypes of London and English people and was hoping some of you would give me some ideas as to what stereotypes people hold of us. I have a fair...

NatashaBird yeah, I've lived in London, in the same house, for 18 years and I only really know 3 or 4 of my neighbours in passing, certainly not to the same extent that we see on shows like Corrie and Eastenders. Yes, I definitely need to include some representation of...

NatashaBird Mmm, I think the food thing is a stayover from the fact that most traditional foods are based on wartime recipes when there was no access to spices or seasonings. I hadn't even thought about the Beefeaters, but that's definitely something I think I can use...

NatashaBird Well it is a good ice-breaker and our weather is very mercurial so there's usually something to be said about it. Birdie -

Of course, only members of Triond and those which had been paid there can answer this question. I tried to look for that button that will answer this question but there is none. In fact, it hasn't asked for my payment details. Is...

I recently started getting a bunch of letters from credit card companies, offering me different deal on credit cards. Now, I don't want or need a credit card, I'm perfectly happy paying by debit card and credit card debt is not...

NatashaBird I suppose you just have to be very careful about how you use it. I can see that there would be some benefits from having one, but it seems like a lot of hassle. Birdie -

NatashaBird I didn't realise you had to pay just to have a credit card account. I don't really see the point to credit cards. If i have the money to afford something then I will pay for it out of my debit account, otherwise I'll just go without. Why would people with...

NatashaBird Do you have to pay just to have a credit card? I thought you only had to pay when you used it and didn't pay it back immediately. Birdie -

NatashaBird Trust me, I wouldn't even be tempted to use it. If I have the money to buy something, then I use my debit card, if I don't then I wait until I do have the money. I'm not currently in a position that requires spending outside my bank account, but I'd just like...

NatashaBird Yeah, I only ever buy something when I actually have the money to cover it so a debit card works fine for me. Birdie -

NatashaBird I do have a contract phone arrangement, but it is on my father's account rather than my own. I've never heard of mobile phone contract contributing towards credit ratings. Do you know how that would work? Birdie -

NatashaBird 1)Dumbledore did tell Snape. That's how Snape knew that Harry had to die in order to defeat Voldermort and thus why he gave Harry his memories when he was dying so that Harry would know what to do. 3) It was mentioned in the book. 5) They 'wasted their...
