    :( I was hoping to bulk buy some sausage rolls later for a forthcoming Christening party as well.

    Bad luck. Timing is everything. Have to be Harrods then or, dare I say it, M&S!!!

    Oh the shame of it.......

    no indication on the site as to how long accounts will be blocked.

    Iceland nationalises Landsbanki


    http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/34681bc8-944d-11dd-953e-000077b07658.html

    Landsbanki, Iceland’s second largest bank, was nationalised on Tuesday as the country used new powers that allow it to seize control of public companies in the financial services sector.
    The Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority announced that it would “take control of Landsbanki to ensure continued commercial banking operations in Iceland”. Parliament passed emergency legislation on Monday night, giving the IFSA the right to step in.
