DearNeighboursTHE GREEK GODDESS of spring
may be leaving us on a warm sum-mer wind, but it is a warmth whichmay well lead to many of our thoughtsturning to a holiday or time off schoolor work.
These thoughts and this month’s poetictheme lead me to the words of JamesDent who said “A perfect summer day iswhen the sun is shining, the breeze isblowing, the birds are singing, and thelawn mower is broken”.
Echoing this sentiment I hope thisissue finds you in the garden, withnothing other to do than take five min-utes to yourself and enjoy this monthsedition.
With the usual great financial andfashion features and fantastic competi-tions sit back, enjoy the sun and maybeeven try to spot some of our local wild-flowers in your own garden (see page 12)
Until next time….Best wishes

Will you havethe funds toenjoy yourretirement?Due to increases in life expectancy anda decline in birth rates since the "babyboomer" generation were born we con-tinue to live in an aging society. In2007 the number of Britons aged 65and over exceeded the number under16 for the first time.*
Graph source: Government ActuariesDepartment 2004, Population Projections.ONS 2006, Population Trends
The generation of people nowapproaching retirement have a com-pletely different attitude and approachto life than the generations beforethem. They are comfortable with theidea of servicing debt throughout theirworking life and are used to havingluxuries that their parents onlydreamed of.
This generation has also been affectedby the well-documented problems suf-fered by pension schemes.
Equity release will be a focal part offinancial planning for this generation,whether to maintain the lifestyle theywere accustomed to before retirementor to help them manage their debts andincome shortfalls.
What is equity release?Put simply equity release allows you torelease tax-free cash from your hometo boost your finances in retirement,without the need to move.
There are three different types ofequity release products:
1. Lifetime MortgageA lifetime mortgage is a form of equi-ty release scheme where a loan issecured against your property to pro-vide you with a tax free cash lumpsum or a regular income to spend asyou wish, typically with no monthlyrepayments to meet.
The loan plus interest is eventuallypaid back when the home is sold,when you move into long term care,or when you and your partner die.
2. Home Reversion
With a home reversion plan you sellpart or your entire home to a rever-sion plan company in exchange for atax-free cash lump sum and a guaran-teed lifetime lease with no monthlyrepayments to meet.
3. Drawdown LifetimeMortgage
A drawdown lifetime mortgagehas the same advantages anddisadvantages as a lifetimemortgage with the main differ-ence being you don't request thefull sum of money available to
you immediately. Instead, you decideon a maximum amount of equity youwant to release and 'drawdown' thecash in stages when you need it.
Equity release is a huge financialcommitment and therefore it is vitalthat you are protected. We only rec-ommend SHIP (Safe HomeIncome Plan) approved equityrelease plans, which come with astandard set of safety guaranteeswhich include:
• The right to remain in your homefor as long as you choose
• The freedom to move to anotherproperty without financial penalty(subject to lenders' criteria)
• That you will receive a cash lumpsum or a regular income
• That you will never fall into nega-tive equity no matter what hap-pens to house prices in the future
"By the end of 2010, theInstitute of Actuaries forecastthat the equity release market
will reach £2 billion"†Sources: † Institute of Actuaries, Equity Releasereport 2005.
What's driving the equity releasemarket?• Ageing population is increasing the
target market • Life expectancy will continue to rise • Longer retirement places mounting
strain on finances • For many, the attempt to close the
savings gap is too little, too late • Erosion of state benefits • Decrease in employer’s
contributions • House price rises have increased
wealth held in property • Changing attitudes towards
property • Growth in product providers and
press coverage
Using the assets built up in property isa viable way of both putting your house-hold finances on an even keel andreleasing funds for essential homemaintenance, to boost day to dayincome or for more pleasurable pur-chases such as holidays or new cars.

• Always lock your
bike, even if you are leaving it for acouple of minutes.
• Never leave it unattended.

Fred said toSteve..
“You’re looking a bit
fed up today Steve,
what’s wrong?”
“ I had a row with the
mother in law and
she swore she wouldn’t
talk to me for a month.”
“That’s not so bad Steve”.
“Yes it is, that was four
weeks ago!”
An old man...had serious hearing problems for
a number of years. He went to the
doctor and the doctor was able to
give him a set of hearing aids that
allowed the man to hear 100%.
The elderly man went back in a
month to the doctor and the doctor
said, “Your hearing is perfect. Your
family must be really pleased that
you can hear again.”
The old man replied, “Oh I haven’t
told my family yet; I just sit around
and listen
to the con-
versations.
I’ve

my will

times!”
You SillyMooAFTER A FEW weeks teetering on the
edge of total economic and financialmeltdown it seems economic systems andtheir workings have pushed their way intothe need-to-know category.
Well, we can now simplify this all byexplaining 21 economic models with cows.
It is remarkable how much sense it allmakes from this real world perspective!
SOCIALISM. You have 2 cows. You giveone to your'neighbour.
COMMUNISM. You have 2 cows. TheState takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM. You have 2 cows. The Statetakes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM. You have 2 cows. The Statetakes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM. You have 2 cows. TheState takes both, shoots one, milks theother, and then throws the milk away
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM. You havetwo cows. You sell one and buy a bull.Your herd multiplies, and the economygrows. You sell them and retire on theincome.
SURREALISM. You have two giraffes. Thegovernment requires you take care har-monica lessons.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION. Youhave two cows. You sell one, and force theother to produce the milk of four cows.Later, you hire a consultant to analysewhy the cow has dropped dead.
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM. Youhave two cows. You sell three of them toyour publicly listed company, using letterscredit opened by your brother-in-law atthe bank, then execute a debt/equity swapwith an associated general offer so thatyou get all four cows back, with a taxexemption for five cows. The milk rightsof the six cows are transferred to aCayman Island Company secretly ownedby the majority shareholder who sells therights to all seven cows back to your listedcompany. The annual report says thecompany owns eight cows, with an optionon one more. You sell one cow to buy anew president of the United States, leav-ing you with nine cows. No balance sheetprovided with the release. The public thenbuys your bull.
A FRENCH CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You go on strike, organise ariot, and block the roads, because youwant three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You redesign them so they areone-tenth the size of an ordinary cow andproduce twenty times the milk. You thencreate a clever cow cartoon image called'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You re-engineer them so theylive for 100 years, eat once a month, andmilk themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION. You havetwo cows, but you dont know where theyare. You decide to have coffee.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You count them and learn youhave five cows. You count them again andlearnyou have 42 cows. You count themagain and learn you have 2 cows. You stopcounting cows and open another bottle ofvodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION. You have5000 cows. None of them belong to you.You charge the owners for storing them.
CHINESE CORPORATION. You have twocows. You have 300 people milking them.You claim that you have full employment,and high bovine productivity. You arrestthe newsman who reported the real situa-tion.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. Both are mad.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION. Youhave two cows. Business seems prettygood. You close the office and go for a fewbeers to celebrate.
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION. Youhave two cows. The one on the left looksvery attractive.

Why conserveWild Plants?After our well received article onBumblebees last month we thought wewould continue the theme with a littleinsight on how our wild flowers are far-ing across the countryside.
Conserving wild plants in their natu-ral habitats is about
more than plants, wildlifeand ecosystems – it isabout people and our needfor food, medicines, freshair and water, shelter, anda clean and healthy envi-ronment in which to live.Two thirds of the ‘services’provided by nature tomankind are now in declineworldwide, and the abilityof the planet’s ecosystemsto sustain future genera-tions can no longer betaken for granted.
The native wild flowers ofour countryside are cham-pioned by the NationalCharity Plantlife who takeunder their care a total of101 species which alsoincludes vascular plants,stoneworts, mosses,lichens, fungi and even analgae. This year they areasking members of localcommunities like ours totake a 1km walk, whereverthey like, and record theflowers that they see usinga recording sheet whichcan be downloaded fromtheir website.
This survey is the only oneof its kind in the entire UKand provides an invaluableinsight into the state of ourfloral friends as well as giv-ing us the excuse to take alittle wander into our sur-rounding countryside.
You could walk along theRiver Eden and RickerbyPark, through the woods,over the fields or even
record what you see on your way towork or school. If you’re lucky enoughyou may even spot Grass-of-Parnassus (currently in flower now)(picture) the emblem wild flower forour County. This flower has the dis-tinction of appearing on the countyarms of Cumbria. The name is inher-ited from ancient Greece. Evidentlythe cattle on Mount Parnassus appre-ciated the plant; hence it was an ‘hon-orary grass'. With Saxifrage bluebells,yarrow and butterbur and the redclover on the local sports fields thereis a whole world of wild flowers to dis-cover.
Over the last centuryhuman activity has forcedan incalculable number ofspecies to the verge ofextinction. Current esti-mates put the rate of lossas high as one plant percounty every two years.Let’s hope some of theexamples which we havefeatured throughout thisarticle remain part of ourcommunity for many yearsto come.
The survey, which alsogives you a helpful guideto identifying wildflowersfinishes in October soplease make sure yours isreturned by the end ofSeptember at the latest.

or a fragment of black bin liner caughtin barbed wire on the Solway coast,Cumbria is truly inspirational.Believing a sense of humour to be oneof life’s essentials it also finds itselfwinding its way into his words, no moreso than in “Phew!”, where the socks ofJohnny inspire the lines, “If they’d awhiff of Stilton cheese, At least they’dstand a chance to please, But skunksand dung hey, wait a minute, That’s justabout the utter limit”
With a strong inter-est in photographyand music, CarletonGrange is his cultur-al cornucopia of cre-ativity. Perhaps oneday when you walkhis way you may belucky enough tohear the music heplays, drifting downthe street. His work,like the piano musiche plays, is accessi-ble to all and full ofCumbrian heart.The passion is part
of its charm so long may the“Cumbrian’s Pen” continue to bring thethoughts of Howard Laws to paper.

Local PoetHoward Laws
Howard is a native of Carlisle whohas spent most of his life in the
county. In his own words, “Born here,so many years ago, Nofairer place than this Iknow”. Obviouslyproud of his heritagehis latest collection ofpoems is entitled“Thoughts into wordsvia a Cumbrian’s Pen”.
Having spent a privi-leged hour or two lis-tening to his poetryand prose and havingread his works, his titlespeaks as much abouthis work as his worktells tales of histhoughts. His work (onthis page) “Stalwart City” echoes thissentiment. The spark of inspirationwhich triggered the poem happened inas simple a setting as being stuck at thetraffic lights. With nowhere to go hecast a glance at the Citadel, “SandstoneCitadel, fortress bold, It’s prominentposition holds”, the words tripped offthe tongue and the resultant versescame naturally as he progressedthrough the city he loves.
Maybe this natural flare and the trickof finding the right words at the mostunexpected of times is part of his her-itage. The son of a local Police Officer,he can trace his family tree back intime through his maternal grandmoth-er to that famous Cumbrian huntsman;John Peel.
Having stepped into the world of poet-ry some 25 years ago, as “Stalwart City”hints, most of his inspiration is takenfrom everyday experiences and theCumbrian Countryside which hedelights to explore. Whether the floodsof 2005, the Foot and Mouth Outbreak

The first time I see a jogger smiling,I’ll give it a try.
If it weren’t for the fact that the TV setand the fridge are so far apart, someof us wouldn’t get any exercise at all.
The only exercise some people get isjumping to conclusions, running downtheir friends, side-stepping responsi-
bility and pushing their luck.
The other day I was feeling that mybody has got completely out of shape.
So I got my doctor’s permission tojoin a fitness club and start exercising.
I had a look at all those machines inthe gym and decided to start with an
aerobics class for seniors. I bent,twisted, gyrated, jumped up and
down, and perspired for about anhour. But by the time I got myleotards on, the class was over.
In this way, regular consumption of beereliminates the weaker brain cells, makingthe brain a faster and more efficientmachine.
And that, Norm is why you always feelsmarter after a few beers.”

WELL, YOU SEE NORMits like this... a herd of
buffalo can only move as fastas the slowest buffalo.
And when the herd is hunt-
ed, it is the slowest and
weakest ones at the back that
are killed first.
This natural selection is goodfor the herd as a wholebecause the general speedand health of the wholegroup keeps improving by the regularkilling of the weakest members.
In much the same way the human braincan only operate as fast as the slowestbrain cells.
Now as we know excessive intake of alco-hol kills brain cells. But naturally, itattacks the slowest and weakest brain cellsfirst.

Hurray itsSummer!Its time for Weddings, GardensParties, Racenights and BBQ’s as wellas holidays – so whether its Barbados,Bournemouth or the back garden letshave a look at the fashion forecast forthe next couple of months.
Leading the pack is the jump suit invarious guises from short and sportywith buttons, zips and ties detail in cot-tons and jersey. It’s great for the beach,sightseeing andearly eveningdrinks. Wear withflats or gladiatorsandals for arelaxed and com-fortable holidaylook.
For evening, wellthere’s no clearfavourite so it’sfinding the onethat suits youbest, be it knee,calf or anklelength. Styleoptions rangefrom harem,cropped, peg orslightly more fit-ted, in soft drap-ing jersey, wornwith statement jewellery. Shoes needto be high and strappy and clutch bagsremain oversized.
Nautical is a favourite that returns on aregular basis, whether your areinspired by the American Hamptons(remember High Society with GraceKelly) or the south of France St Tropezset.
White high waisted wide leg cottontrousers worn with the traditionalstriped white navy and red boat necksleeve Tee, or perhaps a simple crew ina block colour with a silk scarf tied atthe neck. For a fresher more modernlook try yellow and green stripes.
For the beach or on deck! All that’sneeded is a kaftan, white bikini, flipflops, over sized shades and jewellery,but come the cocktail hour it’s the maxi
dress in bold or psychedelic prints -detail is added on straps and underthe bust line for more interest
If however it’s navigating the broadsor sailing the west coast fromMaryport to Kippford the reality isprobably, crops, tee, deck shoes andkagool !!!! whatever the weather justremember colour!!!...
Dresses and cardigans - yes it couldbe just like grandma used to wear.The look is vintage so on dresses lookfor bows just under the bust line, or atthe waist… (bows are every where thisseason on shoes, handbags, & jack-ets). There really is something foreveryone from sassy shifts to floatyfeminine tea dresses. Dress with acardi and coloured tights for a girlylook, or slightly more casual under a
denim bomberjacket or for adressy one, youguessed - just addheels.
Cardigans areworn long or short,this applies to bothsleeves and lengthand they are agreat cover up,worn with dressesor teamed up withvest tops – if itworks for the firstlady! Interest isadded by way ofembroidery andlace.
Jackets - it’s in thedetail – look for
oversized and decorative buttons,large collars and decorative necklines– styles wise its bolero or cropped.Blazers are still in trend this seasonbut loose with a softly tailored look.
For weddings we all want to push toboat out, it’s an opportunity for us tomake an effort and get dressed up. Weall want to look for something differ-ent but just remember to look forstyles that suit you and that you arecomfortable and confident with. Theinterest comes from the styling, fabricand colour. Look for a well cut shift ina soft colour worn with a fittedcropped jacket in a bold print or visa-versa.
So that’s Summer taken care of letshope ours isn’t as short!!

Gentlemen please study these points and see your lifeimprove.
‘Fine’: This is the word women use to end an argumentwhen they are right and you need to shut up.
‘5 Minutes’: If she is getting dressed, this means half anhour. Five minutes is only five minutes if youhave just been given five more minutes to watchthe match before helping around the house.
‘Nothing’: This is the calm before the storm. This meanssomething, and you should be on your toes...arguments that begin with nothing usually endin ‘fine’ above.
‘Go Ahead': This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbalstatement often misunderstood by men. A loudsigh means she thinks you are an idiot andwonders why she is wasting her time standinghere and arguing with you about nothing.(Refer above for the meaning of nothing.)
‘That's OK’: This is one of the most dangerous statements awoman can make to a man. That's okay meansshe wants to think long and hard before decid-ing how and when you will pay for your mistake.
‘Thanks’: A woman is thanking you, do not question, orfaint; just say ‘you’re welcome’. (I want to addin a clause here - this is true, unless she says'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she isnot thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you'rewelcome' as that will bring on a ‘whatever’.
‘Don't worry about it, I've got it’: Another dangerous state-ment, meaning this is something that a womanhas told a man to do several times, but is nowdoing it herself. This will later result in a manasking 'What's wrong?' For the woman'sresponse refer to ‘nothing’ above.
‘Whatever’: ... is a woman's way of saying Stuff You! Leavethe room immediately.

The first time I see a jogger smiling,I’ll give it a try.
If it weren’t for the fact that the TV setand the fridge are so far apart, someof us wouldn’t get any exercise at all.
The only exercise some people get isjumping to conclusions, running downtheir friends, side-stepping responsi-
bility and pushing their luck.
The other day I was feeling that mybody has got completely out of shape.
So I got my doctor’s permission tojoin a fitness club and start exercising.
I had a look at all those machines inthe gym and decided to start with an
aerobics class for seniors. I bent,twisted, gyrated, jumped up and
down, and perspired for about anhour. But by the time I got myleotards on, the class was over.
In this way, regular consumption of beereliminates the weaker brain cells, makingthe brain a faster and more efficientmachine.
And that, Norm is why you always feelsmarter after a few beers.”
Keeping Fit!

WELL, YOU SEE NORMits like this... a herd of
buffalo can only move as fastas the slowest buffalo.
And when the herd is hunt-
ed, it is the slowest and
weakest ones at the back that
are killed first.
This natural selection is goodfor the herd as a wholebecause the general speedand health of the wholegroup keeps improving by the regularkilling of the weakest members.
In much the same way the human braincan only operate as fast as the slowestbrain cells.
Now as we know excessive intake of alco-hol kills brain cells. But naturally, itattacks the slowest and weakest brain cellsfirst.

Why conserveWild Plants?After our well received article onBumblebees last month we thought wewould continue the theme with a littleinsight on how our wild flowers are far-ing across the countryside.
Conserving wild plants in their natu-ral habitats is about
more than plants, wildlifeand ecosystems – it isabout people and our needfor food, medicines, freshair and water, shelter, anda clean and healthy envi-ronment in which to live.Two thirds of the ‘services’provided by nature tomankind are now in declineworldwide, and the abilityof the planet’s ecosystemsto sustain future genera-tions can no longer betaken for granted.
The native wild flowers ofour countryside are cham-pioned by the NationalCharity Plantlife who takeunder their care a total of101 species which alsoincludes vascular plants,stoneworts, mosses,lichens, fungi and even analgae. This year they areasking members of localcommunities like ours totake a 1km walk, whereverthey like, and record theflowers that they see usinga recording sheet whichcan be downloaded fromtheir website.
This survey is the only oneof its kind in the entire UKand provides an invaluableinsight into the state of ourfloral friends as well as giv-ing us the excuse to take alittle wander into our sur-rounding countryside.
You could walk along theRiver Eden and RickerbyPark, through the woods,over the fields or even
record what you see on your way towork or school. If you’re lucky enoughyou may even spot Grass-of-Parnassus (currently in flower now)(picture) the emblem wild flower forour County. This flower has the dis-tinction of appearing on the countyarms of Cumbria. The name is inher-ited from ancient Greece. Evidentlythe cattle on Mount Parnassus appre-ciated the plant; hence it was an ‘hon-orary grass'. With Saxifrage bluebells,yarrow and butterbur and the redclover on the local sports fields thereis a whole world of wild flowers to dis-cover.
Over the last centuryhuman activity has forcedan incalculable number ofspecies to the verge ofextinction. Current esti-mates put the rate of lossas high as one plant percounty every two years.Let’s hope some of theexamples which we havefeatured throughout thisarticle remain part of ourcommunity for many yearsto come.
The survey, which alsogives you a helpful guideto identifying wildflowersfinishes in October soplease make sure yours isreturned by the end ofSeptember at the latest.

or a fragment of black bin liner caughtin barbed wire on the Solway coast,Cumbria is truly inspirational.Believing a sense of humour to be oneof life’s essentials it also finds itselfwinding its way into his words, no moreso than in “Phew!”, where the socks ofJohnny inspire the lines, “If they’d awhiff of Stilton cheese, At least they’dstand a chance to please, But skunksand dung hey, wait a minute, That’s justabout the utter limit”
With a strong inter-est in photographyand music, CarletonGrange is his cultur-al cornucopia of cre-ativity. Perhaps oneday when you walkhis way you may belucky enough tohear the music heplays, drifting downthe street. His work,like the piano musiche plays, is accessi-ble to all and full ofCumbrian heart.The passion is part
of its charm so long may the“Cumbrian’s Pen” continue to bring thethoughts of Howard Laws to paper.

Local PoetHoward Laws
Howard is a native of Carlisle whohas spent most of his life in the
county. In his own words, “Born here,so many years ago, Nofairer place than this Iknow”. Obviouslyproud of his heritagehis latest collection ofpoems is entitled“Thoughts into wordsvia a Cumbrian’s Pen”.
Having spent a privi-leged hour or two lis-tening to his poetryand prose and havingread his works, his titlespeaks as much abouthis work as his worktells tales of histhoughts. His work (onthis page) “Stalwart City” echoes thissentiment. The spark of inspirationwhich triggered the poem happened inas simple a setting as being stuck at thetraffic lights. With nowhere to go hecast a glance at the Citadel, “SandstoneCitadel, fortress bold, It’s prominentposition holds”, the words tripped offthe tongue and the resultant versescame naturally as he progressedthrough the city he loves.
Maybe this natural flare and the trickof finding the right words at the mostunexpected of times is part of his her-itage. The son of a local Police Officer,he can trace his family tree back intime through his maternal grandmoth-er to that famous Cumbrian huntsman;John Peel.
Having stepped into the world of poet-ry some 25 years ago, as “Stalwart City”hints, most of his inspiration is takenfrom everyday experiences and theCumbrian Countryside which hedelights to explore. Whether the floodsof 2005, the Foot and Mouth Outbreak

Approaching from the southern side.Presents a fascinating ride, Proceeding then through Botchergate, A reconstruction scene, of late.
Towards Caeral Cross, still moving on,Which oft-times witnessed history born,Passing the station for the train Where travellers leave, then come again
Sandstone Citadel, fortress bold,Its prominent position holds,Entrance to city centre fairVia English Street, to Town Square.
Current buildings in concrete coldMerging with structures, centuries old,Ancient and modern side by side, Heart of a city, Cumbrian Pride.
Caldew and Eden flowing through,Cross Eden Bridge, Belah, Stanwix too,View both Cathedral and Castle fine, Surviving still, defying time.
Old stalwart Carlisle, ever new,Has residents so proud and true,With robust heart, it is alive, And will for centuries more, survive.
Creating history still, per se,Events occurring day by day,Its motto, firm, commends a lotTo all, “Be just and fear not”.

Fred said toSteve..
“You’re looking a bit
fed up today Steve,
what’s wrong?”
“ I had a row with the
mother in law and
she swore she wouldn’t
talk to me for a month.”
“That’s not so bad Steve”.
“Yes it is, that was four
weeks ago!”
An old man...had serious hearing problems for
a number of years. He went to the
doctor and the doctor was able to
give him a set of hearing aids that
allowed the man to hear 100%.
The elderly man went back in a
month to the doctor and the doctor
said, “Your hearing is perfect. Your
family must be really pleased that
you can hear again.”
The old man replied, “Oh I haven’t
told my family yet; I just sit around
and listen
to the con-
versations.
I’ve
changed
my will
three
times!”
You SillyMooAFTER A FEW weeks teetering on the
edge of total economic and financialmeltdown it seems economic systems andtheir workings have pushed their way intothe need-to-know category.
Well, we can now simplify this all byexplaining 21 economic models with cows.
It is remarkable how much sense it allmakes from this real world perspective!
SOCIALISM. You have 2 cows. You giveone to your'neighbour.
COMMUNISM. You have 2 cows. TheState takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM. You have 2 cows. The Statetakes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM. You have 2 cows. The Statetakes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM. You have 2 cows. TheState takes both, shoots one, milks theother, and then throws the milk away
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM. You havetwo cows. You sell one and buy a bull.Your herd multiplies, and the economygrows. You sell them and retire on theincome.
SURREALISM. You have two giraffes. Thegovernment requires you take care har-monica lessons.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION. Youhave two cows. You sell one, and force theother to produce the milk of four cows.Later, you hire a consultant to analysewhy the cow has dropped dead.
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM. Youhave two cows. You sell three of them toyour publicly listed company, using letterscredit opened by your brother-in-law atthe bank, then execute a debt/equity swapwith an associated general offer so thatyou get all four cows back, with a taxexemption for five cows. The milk rightsof the six cows are transferred to aCayman Island Company secretly ownedby the majority shareholder who sells therights to all seven cows back to your listedcompany. The annual report says thecompany owns eight cows, with an optionon one more. You sell one cow to buy anew president of the United States, leav-ing you with nine cows. No balance sheetprovided with the release. The public thenbuys your bull.
A FRENCH CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You go on strike, organise ariot, and block the roads, because youwant three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You redesign them so they areone-tenth the size of an ordinary cow andproduce twenty times the milk. You thencreate a clever cow cartoon image called'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You re-engineer them so theylive for 100 years, eat once a month, andmilk themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION. You havetwo cows, but you dont know where theyare. You decide to have coffee.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You count them and learn youhave five cows. You count them again andlearnyou have 42 cows. You count themagain and learn you have 2 cows. You stopcounting cows and open another bottle ofvodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION. You have5000 cows. None of them belong to you.You charge the owners for storing them.
CHINESE CORPORATION. You have twocows. You have 300 people milking them.You claim that you have full employment,and high bovine productivity. You arrestthe newsman who reported the real situa-tion.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION. You havetwo cows. Both are mad.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION. Youhave two cows. Business seems prettygood. You close the office and go for a fewbeers to celebrate.
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION. Youhave two cows. The one on the left looksvery attractive.

Will you havethe funds toenjoy yourretirement?Due to increases in life expectancy anda decline in birth rates since the "babyboomer" generation were born we con-tinue to live in an aging society. In2007 the number of Britons aged 65and over exceeded the number under16 for the first time.*
Graph source: Government ActuariesDepartment 2004, Population Projections.ONS 2006, Population Trends
The generation of people nowapproaching retirement have a com-pletely different attitude and approachto life than the generations beforethem. They are comfortable with theidea of servicing debt throughout theirworking life and are used to havingluxuries that their parents onlydreamed of.
This generation has also been affectedby the well-documented problems suf-fered by pension schemes.
Equity release will be a focal part offinancial planning for this generation,whether to maintain the lifestyle theywere accustomed to before retirementor to help them manage their debts andincome shortfalls.
What is equity release?Put simply equity release allows you torelease tax-free cash from your hometo boost your finances in retirement,without the need to move.
There are three different types ofequity release products:
1. Lifetime MortgageA lifetime mortgage is a form of equi-ty release scheme where a loan issecured against your property to pro-vide you with a tax free cash lumpsum or a regular income to spend asyou wish, typically with no monthlyrepayments to meet.
The loan plus interest is eventuallypaid back when the home is sold,when you move into long term care,or when you and your partner die.
2. Home Reversion
With a home reversion plan you sellpart or your entire home to a rever-sion plan company in exchange for atax-free cash lump sum and a guaran-teed lifetime lease with no monthlyrepayments to meet.
3. Drawdown LifetimeMortgage
A drawdown lifetime mortgagehas the same advantages anddisadvantages as a lifetimemortgage with the main differ-ence being you don't request thefull sum of money available to
you immediately. Instead, you decideon a maximum amount of equity youwant to release and 'drawdown' thecash in stages when you need it.
Equity release is a huge financialcommitment and therefore it is vitalthat you are protected. We only rec-ommend SHIP (Safe HomeIncome Plan) approved equityrelease plans, which come with astandard set of safety guaranteeswhich include:
• The right to remain in your homefor as long as you choose
• The freedom to move to anotherproperty without financial penalty(subject to lenders' criteria)
• That you will receive a cash lumpsum or a regular income
• That you will never fall into nega-tive equity no matter what hap-pens to house prices in the future
"By the end of 2010, theInstitute of Actuaries forecastthat the equity release market
will reach £2 billion"†Sources: † Institute of Actuaries, Equity Releasereport 2005.
What's driving the equity releasemarket?• Ageing population is increasing the
target market • Life expectancy will continue to rise • Longer retirement places mounting
strain on finances • For many, the attempt to close the
savings gap is too little, too late • Erosion of state benefits • Decrease in employer’s
contributions • House price rises have increased
wealth held in property • Changing attitudes towards
property • Growth in product providers and
press coverage
Using the assets built up in property isa viable way of both putting your house-hold finances on an even keel andreleasing funds for essential homemaintenance, to boost day to dayincome or for more pleasurable pur-chases such as holidays or new cars.

DearNeighboursTHE GREEK GODDESS of spring
may be leaving us on a warm sum-mer wind, but it is a warmth whichmay well lead to many of our thoughtsturning to a holiday or time off schoolor work.
These thoughts and this month’s poetictheme lead me to the words of JamesDent who said “A perfect summer day iswhen the sun is shining, the breeze isblowing, the birds are singing, and thelawn mower is broken”.
Echoing this sentiment I hope thisissue finds you in the garden, withnothing other to do than take five min-utes to yourself and enjoy this monthsedition.
With the usual great financial andfashion features and fantastic competi-tions sit back, enjoy the sun and maybeeven try to spot some of our local wild-flowers in your own garden (see page 12)
Until next time….Best wishes
