[Panel 1]
[Bell]
What do you mean, we're
going to be evicted?

[Nils]
MegaGloboBank finally noticed
they had my mortgage on the
employees-only scheme. And they
reckon they can save some cash...

[Bell]
You need an expert. Steve,
who's good on mortgages?

[Steve]
Oi, Alan! Over 'ere!

[Panel 2]
[Nils]
...so that's the way it is.

[Alan]
No problem. There are places like
Northern Rock desperate to look as
if they can still do business, so
I'll pay off your current mortgage
with a new loan from one of them.
Should save you a few quid, too.

[Nils]
Just not MegaGloboBank, eh?

[Alan]
Never let the left hand know what
the right hand's foreclosing on?

[Panel 3]
[Bell]
Would it help if I took out a loan as a
small company in the Dominion of Melchizedek?

[Nils]
Why on earth would a small company in
Melchizedek want to rent a room from me?

[Bell]
I don't know.... Might be
useful to have a London base.

[Steve]
Probably for a tax fiddle. That's
what those companies are for, right?

[Alan]
Mind you, they are about the only
sort of company that can REALLY
raise a loan easily these days....

[Panel 4]
[Bell]
Even with assets deemed
at zero value for collateral
in a fire sale....

[Nils]
Eh?

Bell, I didn't realise!

ARE you a small company in the
Dominion of Melchizedek?

[Bell]
Oh, aren't we all, these days?

[Steve]
I dunno -- it doesn't have
quite the same ring as "We
are all foreign students".
