    That's the moral compass.

    If you have to ask someone else about whether it's right then you already know in your heart that it's wrong.
    Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

    HP is ok with interest free,albeit check the booking fees etc.And beware if not paid off in time the interest will kick in literally.
    At the moment you can get 50months I/F for all things electronic,is fine if you do the sums on repayments,not paying what they advertise as minimum.
    Had a couple of mates in meat works,they like I/F and deferred terms,as they can buy and have payment holiday while the work is slow,once the season peaks they pay more,works for them.
    Hello officer put it on my tab

    To be exploitative? We are a social species. We are driven to join together and enjoy each others company. Tigers and crocodiles don't have parties.

    Where it goes wrong is when there are too many of us and we lose personal connections. For example its easy to slag off beneficiaries but quite a different thing to slag off to their face a relative or friend who is having a tough time.

    Interesting poll.

    Those that share my point of view have already stated it, but 1 question I have is

    Of those that voted "No, its exploitation", how many of you vote Labour?

    Is it coincidence the bar indicating the number of your votes is also red?

    Nope the Red is for 'No' on most polls I have participated in on KB

    I for one dont think its ethical, but hey stupid people have always been a target for those willing to make a deal.
    I dont think its really exploitation though
    Just ride.
