Are hedge fund managers like fences or is my understanding of finance even worse than I thought?
It's money for fences, not actual fences. Unless they are fences, in which case they are trading in illegal goods which are normally actual fences. Or hedges. Obviously.
I think the needle they are aiming to move is one that points to a position on a dial. I assume it was coined by someone who's been on a diet and found that even eating nothing but crackers for a week doesn't move the needle on the weighing scales.

I thought it might be a good idea to move the discussion about swearing onto this thread. Swearing doesn't bother me at all. I think people can be more hurtful using socially acceptable words. If someone opens a conversation with something like: "I don't mean to be mean, but......" , you know they * ********** well do!
Its wealth of knowledge and experience so willingly shared. I have learned so much from reading on here and using the search facility.
The clear uncluttered layout (adverts aside) and ease of navigation.
The absence of words that I find offensive, and yes, I know that's down to each individual.
So to see the f word twice on different threads upset me. Just that. I am sorry if anyone finds that wrong or silly or 'different'. I may be in a minority, but I think it would be sad to see the forum littered with that word and others. Maybe others would welcome it.
Ultimately it's Gardeners World who'll decide I suppose, or their advertisers.
CHRISTMAS - the word seems to appear earlier and earlier every year. Started in September this year - we still have to get thru Autumn yet. As for the constant phrase "shopping for Christmas" - why not let it shop for itself and save the rest of us us a lot of bother

I still prefer my gramophone needle explanation but that doesn't mean it's right.

Nothing else quite hits the spot.
