Rite I can see we are not going to get any more sensible answers ...honestly!!
:roll: :roll:

Ok here is the answer from our 16yr olds....

Q. What causes the tides in the oceans
A. The tides are a fight between the earth and the moon. All water tends to flow towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins the fight

It's many years since I applied for mortgage and when we did the guarantees they requested were:-

Prove your Income amount
Must be in employment.

These are the only two I can remember but I know there are more :roll: :oops:
