Mortgages and Interest Rate Rises

[OurManFlint II]

When I first bought my flat in 1979, rates were double figures.
When I moved to Cardiff in '87, I got a fixed 10" - and rates jumped to 16% in the following years.
I remortgaged in 92(?) after Black Wednesday when rates plummeted.

OK Boomer. You could probably still afford family holidays and all the trimming with just 1 income per family working in a factory or a supermarket.

You're way off the truth.
