I cannot decide whether I am a bit hormonal (possible) or whether he really does constantly shout and have an utterly smug expression 99% of the time?

He pledged £10m to charities from his website sale, he didn't have to...

YABU. He's passionate about saving people money and stopping them from getting ripped off - what's smug about that?

He's helped me halve my debt so far in the last year and hopefully I'll be debt free by this time next year. His website's given me the strength to face up to my debt problems and I'm eternally grateful.

So he can shout all he likes as far as I'm concerned. Grin

Well that was very generous of him Chipped, he definitely didn't have to do that.

NotYoMomma · 10/10/2013 13:49

that woman was talking shit though and he was trying to get her to acknowledge that the 13 kid benefot article is a rare occurance and most people claiming benefits do not hold the same views or act the same way as the people in the article, and that was not acknowledged.

it was a benefit bashing article and he knows first hand how desperatley peopke are trying to scrimp and save and afford to live.

ffs the article even mentioned 42' plasma

I thought he was the opposite of rude

spindly he didn't mention to you at university did he, that he had a very good idea and were you interested in working on it with him did he?

He's a annoying and shouty on the TV. But I find most TV irritating so don't bother with it much any more. His website is a great resource though, good for encouraging people to play the game against big companies.

You don't have to follow every tip, but advice on how to cut spending down is very useful.

Wouldn't kick him out of bed for leaving crumbs! Dons hard hat and runs. Shallow.

He seems very passionate about his work! I forgive the shoutiness because he talks well ok shouts) a lot of sense and helps people help themselves.

I could definatly live with the multimillionaire Martin Lewis.

our house would be enormous and he could shout all day!

specialsubject · 10/10/2013 15:57

his business is stating the bleeding obvious, but it isn't obvious to a lot of people or he wouldn't have a business. Good luck to him.

Chip-I expect he was advised to. You get tax breaks afaik if you donate, that's while the very wealthy tend to donate huge sums of money to charity.

valiumredhead · 10/10/2013 22:51

I LOVE his website btwGrin

valiumredhead · 10/10/2013 22:52

Mersea-are you a man? I always thought he was gay.

MollyRoses · 10/10/2013 22:58

His wife is Lara l something who I think was a weather presenter. They have a baby girl too so I think he's not gay

I do find his website very useful but agree he can be irritating on radio/tv

valiumredhead · 10/10/2013 23:01

Blimey, my gaydar is well offGrin
