The Fool on the Hill
sees the world going round

To be honest I've never thought of saving as a particularly exciting or exhilarating activity, but I suppose one can understand ING's attempt to make it appear so. Personally I have always imagined that at best, saving might give you a slightly warm feeling, as you sit shivering in front of your unlit fire contemplating all the money you have accumulated by not making yourself comfortable.
We have apparently a savings gap in this country, people are not saving enough, and amiable ads from ING are not really going to make much difference. The fact is, our savings industry is not willing to offer products that make sense to potential savers. They are designed to deliver fat salaries to their idle fund managers and then some dividends to their shareholders. The poor saver, who is supplying the funds for this beano comes very far down the food chain. It is not surprising that people are not interested in these things and prefer to either stick their money under the mattress or spend it on making their lives more bearable.
The fact that the city is now in meltdown, because they have spent all the savers money on themselves or on dodgy American mortgages would indicate that the non savers view was correct. Until the city grows up and decides to offer savings products that deliver proper returns it can expect to continue to suffer from a widening savings gap. Bad luck chaps.
